    The University of Illinois, collaborating with the Equid Research and Conservation lab at Princeton, have put together software that can uniquely identify any striped, spotted or otherwise marked animal with a clear digital photo. Like a barcode!

    See, up till now scientists have had to use stool samples to identify wild animals, so this way is probably a little nicer. The software is presently being implemented in Kenya for zebra tracking, but the ‘Stripe Spotter’ software is expected to be unveiled at the International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval next week.
