Brittany Burtner, a former University of Florida Wildlife Biologist and
Graduate Research Assistant, is currently a Park Services Specialist at
Florida Department of Environmental Protection in Bahia Honda State
Park. Her interests center around conservation, population ecology, and
behavioral ecology. Burtner's MS research focused on understanding the
social cues, costs and benefits of
interactions between nesting wading birds and alligators. Because of her
wildlife biology background and alligators behavior expertise, this
amazing young woman was a member of the French-led scientific and
speleological expedition Abanda 2011 in Gabon; in search of the
cave-dwelling orange crocodiles. She and her colleague Matthew Shirley
paired up and were instrumental in capturing, studying then releasing
these reptiles during the cave system survey, in the most dreadful and
inhospitable environment of the caves of Gabon's rainforest.
