What exactly are the seasons?

    What are the seasons? For exaple: season 1, season 2 etc. on the opening page. Are they time periods of pictures taken? If so, how many pictures are in a season.

    That's it exactly, Envirogirl 😃 The researchers do a season in the Serengeti, tending the cameras (among other things) then the images are all collected together and made ready for posting to SnapshotSerengeti. See some of Ali's earlier posts on the blog for details (and sometimes hilarious stories of life in the remote Serengeti... look out for the stuffed lion!)
    I believe there are about a half a million captures per season, but I'm sure one of the scientists or mods will correct me if I've misremembered 😉
