Supplemental Videos

6 video files in MPEG format.

Files in this Data Supplement:

• Video 1 - "Ole Number Seven". Exercise studies with an instrumented greyhound and boxer. Note the consumer hi-fi electronics used for the Doppler telemetry signal reception. Franklin joked that they put different numbers on each side of the dog to achieve an N of 2.
• Video 2 - Exercise studies in the California desert. Instrumented dogs were encouraged to run behind Dean Franklin's personal VW bus by a member of the laboratory sitting in the back hatch.
• Video 3 - Baboon telemetry backpack used in the Kenya expedition in 1965. This backpack was designed and built for this expedition by Nolan Watson of the University of Washington. On the left is Robert Van Citters; on the right, Dean Franklin.
• Video 4 - An instrumented baboon blending in with other members of the herd. Notice the red/white backpack on the instrumented animal. Animals were subsequently recaptured by remotely activating a subcutaneous anesthesia capsule containing phencyclidine (PCP).
• Video 5 - Example of the process for capturing a giraffe. In the first part of the video, a previously instrumented giraffe is being recaptured to recover the instrumentation. The carotid artery was resutured and the skin closed, and the animals were released back into the environment. The second portion of the video depicts another giraffe recovering from instrumentation surgery and being released.
• Video 6 - Instrumented Alaskan sled dogs at Fort Wainwright, Alaska. Although all the dogs had been surgically instrumented during a previous trip to Alaska, only one was connected to the transmitting equipment in the sled for study at a time. The wrapping containing the external equipment can be seen on one of the dogs nearest the sled.
