tracking collar
Animal location device
A tracking collar is a device worn around an animal's neck that transmits location data, allowing researchers or owners to monitor the animal's movements.
Wildlife biologists use tracking collars to study migration patterns, territory ranges, and behavior: The wolves were fitted with GPS tracking collars before release.
Pet versions help locate lost dogs or cats.
