@blackmammalogists.bsky.social🐘 💡 Trust, treats, and a whistle! I’m Alexis Jones, a mammal keeper at Zoo Atlanta. I use a whistle to mark successful behaviors during positive reinforcement training, helping elephants and meerkats voluntarily participate in daily care and health exams. #BMW2026Innovate #BlackMammalogists 🧪 🌍️
@blackmammalogists.bsky.socialCorina Newsome, an avian ecologist at @nwf.org, used a modified Hunt Trap to monitor mammalian predator activity & diversity in salt marshes. She faced cameras toward the ground, elevated them on PVC to avoid high tides, & used fish scents to draw mammals in. #BMW2026Innovate #BlackMammalogists🧪
