“Opportunistic Predators”

“These pictures are excellent and show where Wongari goes, how he finds food and water. They allow us to see the intimate life he shares with his partner.” Linda Behrendorff, who is in charge of the project, explained.

“We ‘ve never seen anything like this before, and they show that Wongari are opportunistic predators. They eat no food.”

These images made it possible to follow him hundreds of kilometers north of the island, Behrendorf said.

“These camera collars are one of the many techniques we use to monitor Vongari to prevent bad encounters or incidents with islanders or visitors.” She insisted.
