The social behaviour of the Cretan wild goats on Theodorou island off Platanias is to be recorded using cameras and drones by scientists working mostly at foreign universities, in collaboration with the University of Crete and the local Forestry Service. The project comes under the heading of ethology – a branch of science which studies the behaviour of animals in their natural environment. For the researchers, “free from human intervention, the isolated population of Cretan wild goats on Theodorou island constitutes an ideal system for studying the relationships between the heterogeneity of habitats and the characteristics of social networks.”
