Continuous recording of behavior in giraffes


The Emmen (NL) Zoo has a large double enclosure where 8 giraffes are kept. The door between the two enclosures is closed at night, so that a mother and her infant are separated from the other 6 animals.

We installed two cameras several meters above the ground and were able to record all 6 giraffes simultaneously.

When the mother and infant were recorded, they were exceptionally kept in the stall in the front, where the cameras were installed.
