SUMMARY
Marwell Zoo in the UK is implementing a new AI-powered night vision camera system to enhance animal care. This technology will monitor animals' nighttime activities, with AI analyzing footage to flag unusual behaviors that might indicate health problems. The project, funded by the UK government and developed with the University of Surrey, will initially focus on giraffes and red river hogs. Researchers hope the system will provide insights into how environmental factors affect behavior and allow for earlier detection of minor health issues.
