1 00:00:50:23 00:00:55:05 Looking for an opportunity 2 00:01:04:17 00:01:09:23 Hello young friends.
My name is NiConcón and I am a bird of temperate forests.
3 00:01:09:23 00:01:15:09 Since I am a keen observer I have detected for quite some time
the presence of humans in the forest. 4 00:01:15:09 00:01:21:12 What is interesting
is that they are scientists and for some time I have been following them.
5 00:01:21:13 00:01:23:19 Wisst ihr, wie sie Informationen zu unseren Wälder und deren
Bewohnern erheben? 6 00:01:23:19 00:01:27:24 no está bien traducido
7 00:01:28:03 00:01:31:05 After several weeks I have learned a lot about their work.
8 00:01:31:05 00:01:34:23 Join me and I will explain to you why they are here in the forest.
9 00:01:39:00 00:01:40:17 Look, look!!! 10 00:01:40:20 00:01:43:21 this is one of
the scientists who always come to the forest. 11 00:01:44:00 00:01:47:10 They are studying
the habits and behaviour of the Kodkod cat. 12 00:02:01:03 00:02:02:08 Ooooooh,
13 00:02:02:08 00:02:05:11 what he is going to install in that tree is a camera trap.
14 00:02:05:11 00:02:07:19 Like many mammals of the temperate forest the Kodkod cat
15 00:02:07:19 00:02:10:02 is a very difficult species to observe and study.
16 00:02:10:06 00:02:13:10 Therefore, scientists use these devices that have motion
17 00:02:13:10 00:02:16:16 detectors that help to take pictures of them.
18 00:02:16:24 00:02:19:22 The pictures can help to detect whether a Kodkod cat
19 00:02:20:00 00:02:22:00 is present in a place and this way study their habitat and
behaviour. 20 00:02:22:00 00:02:24:00 The camera traps
are tied to trees in paths where animals use to pass.
21 00:02:26:01 00:02:28:01 In order to study animals different techniques are used
22 00:02:28:02 00:02:30:18 to call their attention. 23 00:02:31:00 00:02:33:21 Such techniques
includes sound mimic of rodents and birds. 24 00:02:34:02 00:02:38:18 In this case the
scientist is using some irresistible odors to the Kodkod cat.
25 00:02:40:24 00:02:44:02 The camera gets activated and comes out with a series of pictures
26 00:02:44:02 00:02:46:24 when animals are present within a distance of about five meters.
27 00:02:47:11 00:02:49:16 falta traducción 28 00:02:49:16 00:02:53:16 You may even know
the exact time when the animal pass over here and activated the camera!
29 00:02:54:04 00:02:56:03 What a great device, isn’t it young friends?
30 00:02:56:03 00:02:59:00 We will wait until tomorrow when the scientist comes back to
see 31 00:02:59:00 00:03:02:10 if the lure attracted
our dear lady friend Kodkod cat. 32 00:03:02:19 00:03:05:21 Wait a minute!
I can hear some noises down there. 33 00:03:06:01 00:03:08:02 It seems the lure
has already attracted someone. 34 00:03:09:02 00:03:11:14 Mmmmmmm ..... What
a great smell, isn’t it daughter? 35 00:03:11:23 00:03:15:19 Mmmmmmm ..... yeah
mom, but I can't see where that smell comes from!
36 00:03:15:19 00:03:19:20 It seems the smell comes from a bit far away, let's go see...
37 00:03:36:12 00:03:40:09 what is this strange thing that is attached to the tree?? What
is it Mom? 38 00:03:42:21 00:03:45:10 THE NEXT MORNING
39 00:03:51:04 00:03:52:08 Hello young friends. 40 00:03:52:08 00:03:55:03 You may excuse
me but I was having my breakfast. 41 00:03:55:18 00:03:58:10 Today is a new
day and oohh look!!!!! 42 00:03:58:10 00:03:59:23 Here comes the
scientist. 43 00:04:00:02 00:04:02:08 We'll see if the
camera trap caught something last night. 44 00:04:15:04 00:04:16:16 Well, well.
45 00:04:16:16 00:04:19:12 Judging from the scientist's face, it looks like the camera
46 00:04:19:12 00:04:22:06 has registered what he was looking for.
47 00:04:25:02 00:04:30:00 Scientists can get a lot of information when they succeed
in getting a picture of the Kodkod cat. 48 00:04:30:00 00:04:32:22 This information
includes the time of day and habitat conditions on which the animal is more active
49 00:04:32:23 00:04:35:11 They can even see if there are melanic or black Kodkod cats
in the area. 50 00:04:35:11 00:04:40:00 In addition to
this, they can decide whether they install traps to catch them and place radio-collars
51 00:04:40:00 00:04:44:21 to track animals down through telemetry and this way obtain
very accurate information. 52 00:04:45:10 00:04:49:01 Ok, now I’ll
take you to meet other scientist of our forests 53 00:04:49:02 00:04:52:15 who carries out
another interesting data collection through the use of wooden traps.
54 00:04:53:15 00:04:55:24 We just got in time
55 00:04:56:08 00:05:00:23 We can see here another scientist who is placing a box trap.
56 00:05:00:23 00:05:03:05 (está mal traducido) It is important to know that the Kodkod cat
is present in the area when a box trap is placed.
57 00:05:03:05 00:05:05:05 For this purpose our friend the scientist previously placed
a camera trap 58 00:05:05:05 00:05:06:21 which confirmed
the presence of our friend the Kodkod cat in this part of the forest.
59 00:05:13:16 00:05:16:01 The Kodkod cat is an endangered species
60 00:05:16:01 00:05:19:02 and therefore it could only be caught with a special permit
for scientific 61 00:05:19:02 00:05:21:23 purposes issued
by the Agricultural and Livestock Ministry, better known as SAG
62 00:05:29:11 00:05:33:06 These simple traps allow the animal to get inside with no way
back out. 63 00:05:33:07 00:05:37:04 To attract animals
in they usually leave fresh bait or a lure. 64 00:05:45:08 00:05:49:03 Let's hope that
a hungry Kodkod cat passes by, smells the lure
65 00:05:49:04 00:05:52:03 and gets into the trap so then you can see how scientist proceed!!
66 00:05:52:03 00:05:53:18 See you tomorrow! 67 00:05:54:00 00:05:55:18 THE NEXT MORNING
68 00:05:56:07 00:05:57:22 Lucky scientists!! 69 00:05:57:22 00:05:59:15 There’s a Kodkod
cat in the trap. 70 00:05:59:15 00:06:01:06 Now they must proceed
fast. 71 00:06:01:10 00:06:03:02 Polita, Politaaaaaaaaa!!!!
72 00:06:03:02 00:06:05:02 Help me to get out of here, Politaaaa!!!
73 00:06:05:02 00:06:06:19 I’m trapped. 74 00:06:06:21 00:06:09:19 But Mom, what happened???
How did you get
in there?? 75 00:06:10:00 00:06:11:05 I don’t know
what happened!!! 76 00:06:11:06 00:06:13:06 I got inside because
there was a delicious piece of flesh 77 00:06:13:06 00:06:15:22 and suddenly this
thing closed down and I can’t get out now. 78 00:06:17:05 00:06:20:24 Oh Mom, I don’t
know how to open it. I don’t know what to do.
79 00:06:28:17 00:06:31:02 Mom, Mom!!! Something is coming, something is coming!!! It is too
big. 80 00:06:31:08 00:06:34:00 Go and hideaway
daughter!!! Don’t worry about me. 81 00:06:34:00 00:06:36:14 I do not think
I’ll be in danger being locked-up here inside. 82 00:06:36:14 00:06:38:24 When the danger
passes we will try to get out of this together. 83 00:06:44:06 00:06:46:17 - Ahhhhhh, look
at there! There’s a Kodkod cat inside!! 84 00:06:53:03 00:06:55:24 Let’s now see
what are the steps followed by the scientist. 85 00:06:55:24 00:07:00:09 First, they reduce
the space and therefore the Kodkod cat’s movements in the trap
86 00:07:07:23 00:07:10:24 Then a veterinarian has to anesthetize the animal.
87 00:07:13:15 00:07:16:11 Once the animal is sedated they have enough time to fix a
radio collar 88 00:07:16:11 00:07:19:18 to activate thus
the process called telemetry. 89 00:07:19:18 00:07:23:21 Through this process
scientists are able to observe where the animal lives and where it moves.
90 00:07:43:17 00:07:47:11 In addition to this, scientists take advantage to get some
measurements 91 00:07:48:23 00:07:50:02 - 1 point 1
92 00:07:50:06 00:07:51:01 - 6 point 4 93 00:08:07:14 00:08:09:01 20 MINUTES LATER
94 00:08:09:01 00:08:12:06 The Kodkod cat is released only when is 100% awake.
95 00:08:12:15 00:08:15:14 Now the scientists go away to verify that everything goes well.
96 00:08:21:05 00:08:24:00 Daughter, daughter. Where are you?
97 00:08:24:12 00:08:26:12 Politaaaa, Politaaaaaa. 98 00:08:26:15 00:08:29:19 Here I am Mom!
Are you okay? 99 00:08:30:03 00:08:33:01 I’m fine daughter.
I just don’t remember what happened. 100 00:08:33:03 00:08:35:18 It seems those
humans helped me to get out of the trap. 101 00:08:35:22 00:08:38:19 Mom? What's that
in your neck?? 102 00:08:38:23 00:08:42:07 Have I something
strange? I don’t know, I don’t feel anything. 103 00:08:42:09 00:08:43:24 Come on daughter,
let's get out of here. 104 00:08:46:06 00:08:48:06 3 MONTHS LATER
105 00:08:52:07 00:08:55:12 With an antenna scientists can locate the collar’s signal
that Leopolda 106 00:08:55:12 00:08:57:04 has around her
neck and thus know where she is. 107 00:08:57:07 00:08:59:07 Listen how it
sounds 108 00:08:59:07 00:09:01:21 The signal range
is about 500 meters! 109 00:09:07:06 00:09:08:07 Hello again!
110 00:09:08:09 00:09:10:05 Here I am near to the scientists.
111 00:09:10:08 00:09:13:22 They come almost every day for monitoring Leopolda’s movements.
112 00:09:14:01 00:09:18:06 But why they do that? What information they obtain from this
monitoring? 113 00:09:23:19 00:09:26:11 Now the signal
is very loud towards that direction. 114 00:09:26:14 00:09:32:09 Leopolda must
be 100 meters close and she must be moving because the signal can be listened more often.
115 00:09:32:20 00:09:34:00 Listen! 116 00:09:36:06 00:09:39:04 She must be hunting
a mouse or small birds. 117 00:09:48:22 00:09:49:24 aquí no está
traducido bien. 118 00:09:49:24 00:09:54:19 We can observe
that Leopolda is frequently located within the native forest area.
119 00:09:54:19 00:10:00:07 She’s very close to human houses without getting into a henhouse
though. 120 00:10:00:07 00:10:04:23 She also managed
to cross some roads, which is very dangerous because we know that other Kodkod cats
121 00:10:04:23 00:10:07:23 not always succeed and get hit by a car.
122 00:10:08:13 00:10:11:01 From Leopolda’s movements we can realize the importance the
forest at the river's side has since it 123 00:10:11:01 00:10:15:06 allows her to
move between the vegetation where she lives, hunts and finds refuge most of the time.
124 00:10:15:06 00:10:20:19 Sometimes we located her in the pine plantation.
125 00:10:20:19 00:10:24:19 Definitely, the meadow doesn’t like her because it seems
she cannot climb 126 00:10:24:19 00:10:27:03 a tree in case
of an emergency. 127 00:10:32:02 00:10:34:02 As you can appreciate
my dear young friends 128 00:10:34:02 00:10:39:18 the tools these
professionals use allow them to obtain valuable information about our animal species.
129 00:10:39:18 00:10:42:04 I hope you have learned a lot
130 00:10:42:04 00:10:44:24 and I hope we meet again some other time.
131 00:10:44:24 00:10:46:09 Goodbye! �
