Although a number of studies deal with the social system, habits and life cycle of the reasonable human being, observation of the urban human being is rarely executed. Especially little is known about a subspecies Homo Urbanicus Zagrebiensis, Zagreb urban human being.

This project aims at fulfilling that gap. Because of the previously mentioned lack of information, last season's focus were water holes, which play a crucial role in the life of Zagreb urban human being. The study was executed in ecosystem Zagreb during 2003.

Six specimens were marked using the traditional following system and for the needs of the social structure and ecology study of Zagreb urban human being. Collected data was analysed using several methods varying from the usual ones (ringing method, classical zoology method, critical anthropology method) to those specially designed for this purpose and adjusted to the species and individual specimens (Radakoviæ method and tabloid method - Milinoviæ). Several basic professional studies focused on the particular segments of the species' social life will be presented after the data is collected and analysed.

Web site will be designed and set for the needs of that presentation. It will also include information on particular specimens, information on the project, professional results and the forum opened for the wide scientific population interested in exploring this species and interpreting the data acquired by the observation.
