At first, Greg Marshall’s Crittercam was too bulky and heavy to work effectively. Marshall first tried out the Crittercam on a captive nurse shark. The shark was not able to swim as quickly as usual. The weight of the camera was causing drag, which slowed the shark down. Marshall redesigned the Crittercam. He made it smaller and lighter. These changes improved its usefulness, because the share could swim more normally.

The team learned how penguins dive. First, the penguins dive down and then turn to look up at the ice overhead. Against the bright white of the ice, they can easily spot their favorite fish. They go up to grab a meal. Next, they go down again for another look at the ice. The penguins make a few of these food-finding trips. Then the penguins pop out of the water with stomachs bulging full of fish.
