Hartebeest skewing sample?

  • glyph250 by glyph250

    I wonder if the numbers are getting thrown off a bit by Hartebeests making a hobby of sitting down right in front of the camera and staring off into the distance. This one looks like it's just getting situated.

    Has anyone else noticed this?

    "This one looks like it's just getting situated." English translation, please?

    Hahaha yeah - I get that Hartebeest a few times every session 😃 I've started tag it and see how long he stays around!

    If you haven't gone to the Discuss after you submit --- try it out. You'll see that date/time stamp for the image. So, I would think the researchers use the date/time info to figure out how situations like this affect their data on that camera. Plus - they can also go through and see through the sequence if it's the same animal sitting there for hours triggering the camera.

    Granted, when they sit/stand in front of the camera they obscure the rest of the kandscape and we don't know what else may be walking by or out there.
