GPS collar
Animal tracking device
A GPS collar is a tracking device worn around an animal's neck that uses satellite positioning to monitor location.
Wildlife researchers use GPS collars to study migration patterns and territorial ranges of species like wolves, elk, and big cats.
Pet owners use them to locate lost dogs or cats: The GPS collar showed she'd wandered three miles from home.
Some models transmit location data in real time to a smartphone app.
