Museum of Animal Perspectives

The Museum of Animal Perspectives (M.A.P.) collects and displays wildlife
imagery that has been captured using remote sensing cameras. The M.A.P. is curated and coded by video naturalist Sam Easterson. Most remotely sensed videos and photos that are presented on this URL are embedded within the website by using codes that are readily suppliedby Flickr and YouTube.

The videos are geolocated on a Google Map according to where they are typically found in the world. The Museum of Animal Perspectives could be a handy resource for elementary school and middle school science teachers who would like to provide their students with videos, in geographic context, of animals their students are learning about. -Richars Byrne-
