Capturing a Giraffe's Point-Of-View
NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas, Nov. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Iniosante, a Texas-based motion picture company filming giraffes around the world, partnered with biologists to fit a live-action camera on a giraffe's head to help scientists identify factors leading to the decline of wild populations.
Zoo keepers at the Oakland Zoo were also keen on capturing this groundbreaking view. According to Amy Phelps, Lead Giraffe Keeper at Oakland Zoo and Research Associate for the Giraffe Conservation Foundation, images taken from the giraffe’s point-of-view could provide unique views enabling zookeepers to better understand their navigation habits.
We trained our 19-year-old Reticulated giraffe Benghazi to accept the camera because we knew we would learn so much from him, said Phelps. He gained positive reinforcement from his trusted zoo keepers for an activity that stimulated him physically and mentally, while also empowering him to make a choice and control his environment, said Phelps. The Oakland Zoo is a sponsor of Iniosante's documentary.
Sometimes it can be hard to imagine what these gentle giants are seeing 19 feet in the air, said Phelps. By sharing Benghazi's amazing POV, we hope to bring increased attention to the critical situation they face in the wild.
Fifty percent of the African giraffe population has diminished since 1999. It's a short timeframe for that type of decline to occur, says Deacon. We are trying to determine 'why'. With the ability to see from a giraffe's perspective, I feel we can learn more, which translates to better decision-making on conservation and management practices. If we don't learn more about what's causing their decline, we may lose this magnificent creature from our planet.
