Just learned about sage grouse lekking behavior from @RyaneLogsdon. Her life-like fembots (named Salt and Peppa!) make #robocheetah look like a poorly-made puppet …which of course it is.

Today #robocheetah was barreling toward some impala when it fell fully into a warthog hole (📸). After being freed, the now-lopsided #robocheetah ran over its own pelt, again prematurely ending its hunt.
Impala were bewildered but not alarmed.

Yesterday a wheel got jammed leading to #robocheetah performing 3 or 4 donuts followed by a sick wheelie, and ultimately coming to rest well short of its target group of perplexed zebras.

These past two days we’ve been testing whether #robocheetah might serve as a suitable predator-like disturbance for the ungulate groups we are filming for our research. So far the results have been hilarious, but not promising.

Throwback to PhD-style fieldwork today: driving my dissertation advisor’s green Suzuki, #robocheetah riding shotgun.
