radio collars
Wildlife monitoring devices
Radio collars are tracking devices fitted around an animal's neck, used by researchers to monitor wildlife movements, behavior, and habitat use.
The collar contains a transmitter that emits signals detectable by receivers, allowing scientists to locate animals from a distance: The biologists tracked the wolf pack using radio collars.
Modern versions may include GPS technology.
