Sleeping or dead?

    Is she sleeping or dead? And how do I find pictures follwing this shot. If I change the last 2 letters alphabetically it is not really near this one?

    dead?

    In the animation you can see that the young wildebeest is breathing, so just napping. The adults are keeping an eye out.

    Okay, I thought the breathing was a shadow of the wagging tail. Thanks for clarifying.

    Hi chipo - hope you don't mind if I reply to your question about finding photos by copying and pasting a reply I posted earlier in another thread - hopefully it'll make it clear:

    Heh! I'm afraid the only way we've found is a major exercise in
    patience, and trial and error. 😕

    When you click on the image here, that takes you to the image's own
    page, and shows the image ID. That page has a URL that ends with the
    image ID. In this case, the ID is ASG000eb01, and the URL is
    http://talk.snapshotserengeti.org/#/subjects/ ASG000eb01. What you can
    do is start changing the last two characters of the URL in sequence,
    using the 9 numerical digits and the 26 letters (00, 01, 02 ... 09,
    0a, 0b ... 0x, 0y, 0z, 10, 11, 12 ... 1x, 1y, 1z, etc through to z0,
    z1, z2 ... zx, zy, zz). The images are in no particular sequence, but
    the likelihood is they'll be from the same camera. As you view each
    one, you can see the date and time it was taken, so you can hunt this
    way for others taken by the same camera at around the same time. If
    you want to keep any of them, just collect them into a collection as
    you go.

    It's a laborious process I'm afraid, so probably only worthwhile if
    there's something you really really want to track down. 😃

    dms246 --- Maybe these directions should be stickied in the Interface forum or the top of every forum? It seems some of us keep repeating the directions and there isn't a centralized place to point and everyone else to see?

    just a thought 😃

    Heh... yes, that's a good idea ajg. I'll sort that out. 😃

    It would be fun, just fun maybe, to be able sometime to see the sequence of a camera from 24 hours for example.
