Research Questions - suggestions
Coming up with a good and interesting research question to investigate is key to making this a suitable challenge. Here are some ideas you might like to consider.
- Who gets along with who?
Are there particular species that often use a waterhole at the same time and seem to either get along with each other or simply ignore each other? Are there species which always seem to be present on their own, perhaps frightening other animals away? If you can identify some of these animals, why might they be interacting with other species the way they do? - Time of day or night.
Are there particular times of the day or night that are more popular when it comes to appearing on camera? If there are, is this animal specific and why might these times be more popular? - Keeping a lookout.
If a group of animals of the same species appear together, do some appear to have a lookout role, watching for possible dangers? Where are they in relation to the rest of the group? What dangers might they be on the lookout for? - Sounds and more sounds.
Some of the webcams include audio and you can hear the sounds of the wind, rain and animals. Can you identify some of the sounds? Do some noise makers feature at particular times of the day?
