Tracking animal behaviors accurately in complex natural environments has been difficult. A lightweight, ‘surround-view’ camera system placed on the head of a freely flying hawk, combined with 3D environmental mapping, can reconstruct the predatory bird’s position and its fine body motion and interactions with targets during aerial prey-capture behaviors in outdoor environments.
