A polar bear named Tasul at the Oregon Zoo has been wearing a collar cam that shows what the world looks like through the Arctic animal's eyes. Eventually, researchers will use data collected from Tasul's everyday movements to study the behavior of polar bears in their increasingly threatened and hard-to-reach habitats in the wild.

As part of a research project for the U.S, Geological Survey (USGS), the captive female bear's collar is also equipped with an accelerometer, a device similar to the one that lets a smartphone know when it's being flipped sideways or upside-down.
