He wondered what it would be like to see the world from the fish's point of view. This experience motivated Greg to invent Crittercam, a small, lightweight research tool that attaches to an animal and records video, sound, and other data from the animal's perspective. Crittercam allows researchers to study the behavior of animals that are difficult or impossible to observe in the wild. Over the years, Greg has worked with scientists around the world to deploy Crittercam on sharks, penguins, lions, and dozens of other animals. In addition to being the inventor of Crittercam, Greg is also a scientist and filmmaker. He has a master's degree in marine science and has produced films about sharks, giant squid, Crittercam, and more. When he is not out in the field or behind the lens of a video camera, Greg enjoys spending time with his wife and two sons."

In the game, you’re shown the lead paragraph, but letters from two words in the headline are missing. Players have to use clues in the first paragraph to identify what the missing words should be. As you play the online version, you can ask for clues. One of the great things about using this game is that students can create their own with pen and paper and have classmates try to figure out the answers, as well as giving them clues if needed.=
