Abstract

The article discusses the innovative DIY contraptions that scientists are building to study animal behavior. Examples include the hermit crab eviction machine, the falcon innovation box, the raccoon smart box, the jumping spider eye tracker, the hermit crab escape room, and the bee insominator. These devices are tailored to help researchers understand the lives and minds of specific animal species, offering insights into their behaviors and cognitive capabilities.
