Presentation - Crocodile social systems

[baker]

Hi all,

Bit of self promotion, but for anyone in Sydney I will be down on the 11th of March to give a presentation to the Hawkesbury Herpetological society. In this talk I will be presenting an overview of my PhD research which has focused on investigating the social systems of estuarine crocodiles. The talk will be presented at the Penrith valley regional sports centre with the meeting starting at 7pm and my talk then beginning at around 7:30pm.

If you want some more information about what the talk will be about, or the when and where please follow the link below.

Hopefully nothing happens this time causing it to get postponed again!
Cheers, Cameron

Hi pyhonhead,

I could be considered a herpetologist. However, I generally consider myself more of a behavioural and movement ecologist rather than a herpetologist, as the research questions and work I am interested in goes beyond just herps. I've just been rather lucky to get to work on crocodiles as primary study species over the last 6 years. Considering it's on a Friday night I'm sure you could convince your parents to take you along to an educational talk, even if it is a bit late.

Not sure what's going to happen recording wise for the talk. I'd have no problem with it being recorded, just depends what society has planned and is capable of doing. We'll just have to see what ends up happening with it. Also I don't really know anyone from the Hawkesbury herpetological society other than the president Col who invited me along to present again.

Cheers, Cameron
