Why Researchers Dressed as Leopards to Scare Some Monkeys – Atlas Obscura
So, to learn more about the putty-nosed monkey s alarm calls, the researchers had to get creative. Stephan says the team opted for the most naturalistic disguise they could field-design: A team member covered himself in store-bought leopard-print fabric. While others observed, the low-tech leopard surrogate crept through the dense vegetation, inching toward a group of the monkeys. That s when things got interesting.
Sounds like fun, if very uncomfortable.
