Abstract

A system, apparatus, and/or method of identifying an activity of an animal. The activity may include the animal drinking, eating, urination, or defecating. Motion data of a first animal may be received, for example, via a sensor. Predetermined signatures of one or more second animals may be received. The predetermined signatures of the one or more second animals may be associated with one or more activities of the one or more second animals. A signature of an activity of the first animal may be determined based on the motion data of the first animal. Based on the signature of the activity of the first animal and the predetermined signatures of the second animal, the activity of the first animal may be identified. The identified activity of the first animal may be displayed via a display device.
