The Crittercam Chronicles
Have you ever wondered what it was like to see our world through the eyes of a wild animal? Have you ever wondered what it would be to BE a wild animal? Todays Family Site can help fulfill some of those desires.
It is called the Crittercam Chronicles, and it is just like what it sounds. A camera on a critter. In this case, the animals are ocean going sharks, whales, and turtles, among others. This is the idea of Greg Marshall, and has been years in the making. He has attached cameras to the back of these seagoing animals, and you can experience their life the way they do. He even tested it on his cat, and the video is here to give you a glimpse of the upcoming National Geographic special.
This is a most interesting topic, and a most unusual way to collect pictures. I am sure you will be as fascinated with the information here as I was. Enjoy your stop.

24/7 Real Media, as a sponsor of this campaign, will serve ads provided by Slooh to raise awareness about this exciting promotion. The ads will appear across 24/7 Real Media�s 24/7 Web Alliance, a network of more than 550 Web sites.
�We�re extremely excited to have the support of 24/7 Real Media to spread the word about this great program that will bring an incredible laboratory teaching tool to the astronomy curriculum of schools across the country,� said Michael Paolucci, founder and president of Slooh. �Slooh�s remote control of a live telescope in the classroom will enable science teachers to provide a hands-on experience for students.�
Slooh�s equipment is located at one of the best astronomical viewing sites in the world, atop Mount Teide in the Canary Islands. Stationed high above the cloud line, void of light pollution and five hours ahead of Eastern Time, Slooh�s remote control telescopes provide clear nighttime observations during America�s afternoon and evening.
�We are pleased to support Slooh in bringing the reality of space exploration to children, and expect their efforts will greatly increase the popularity of astronomy as a field of study,� said David J. Moore, chairman and chief executive officer of 24/7 Real Media.
Chosen schools will be notified immediately of their annual membership, which will commence December 25, 2003, the official day of Slooh�s first online mission to space.
