Research Stations

In the first year of the ZooWatch program (1997), Zoo visitors collected data, and analyzed findings from eight different research stations. 1998 saw the addition of four new stations and we kept two from ZooWatch '97. ZooWatch stations for 1999 are up and running. Before you leave make sure to visit the Rhino Cam, and the RatCam at the Oregon Museum of Science & Industry, or develop your own animal study.
