Internet of Animals
The expression "Internet of Animals" refers to the use of inter-connected devices applied on animals. It can be used in different applications such as collecting data on the health of the environment or on the animal behavior.

Applications
A first application was proposed by the London major Loris Johnson in collaboration also with Twitter and aims to detect the pollution in the city of London inside a project to be realized before 2020. His propose wants to provide through social network a real time mapping of London's environment by measuring substances such as N02 or ozone by taking advantage of pigions flight. This perspective could offer on one hand the possibility to reach zones impossible to control with conventional fixed devices.

A second utilization of the "Internet of Animals" could provide an amount of data on animals behavior analysis not obtainable in other ways.

Finally, thanks to "Internet of Animals", environments difficult to be reached phisically by humans, could be explored simply taking a lift of fish or birds.
