Bison Behavior and Critter Cam Systems

The video discusses the challenges of working with bison, particularly their hairiness, which complicates the use of critter cams. It highlights the importance of safe handling practices at the Dun Ranch, where bison are managed effectively. The deployment of critter cams beneath the chin is explained as a standard protocol to study bison feeding habits. The project aims to understand the impact of bison on unplowed land and their interaction with native plant species.
