tracking collars
Animal location transmitters
Tracking collars are devices fitted around an animal's neck to monitor its location and movements.
Wildlife researchers use them to study migration patterns, territory ranges, and behavior: The wolves were fitted with GPS tracking collars before release.
Pet owners use simpler versions to locate lost dogs or cats.
The collars may transmit signals via radio, satellite, or cellular networks.
