Effects of Global Positioning System collar weight on zebra behavior and location error
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted in the Botswana region to determine the effect of collar weight behavior and movement of zebra in the plains. Results showed that a slight variation in collar weight even within the accepted limits had an impact on movement of the animal which was previously unknown.
