Outreach

We are conducting studies of animal behavior using reports from people in our community and across the world. Our public science studies are housed at observinganimals.org

Our most recent study looks at playful teasing. If you have stories or recordings of animals playfully teasing you or other animals, we invite you to share them here.

Other projects include how animals responded to the solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. If you’d like to share your story you can do so here.
