An article about Terrestrial Mammal

Tracking technology is the supporting of the development of terrestrial mammal movement ecology. The original method of animal tracking is observing animals in the field or checking the animal traces such as footprints on the snow ground. This method is very precise but will take much time and bring many difficulties to researchers. This kind of movement data is generally short-term data.

Nowadays, researchers often use Very-High-Frequency (VHF) telemetry or GPS to track terrestrial mammals. VHF is also known as radio tracking, whereby researchers can deploy VHF transmitters onto animals and carry the corresponding VHF receiver to the field to locate animals periodically and draw the location map depending on the dirction of observation [19]. However, GPS technology is the most commonly used tracking technology at the present time. The devices can be built as collars, ear tags or some other gadgets. After deploying the devices, they 

send location data to satellites in a particular frequency and researchers can retrieve data from specific websites or software [20]. Differ from bird or fish tracking , tracking of terrestrial animals usually needs shorter fix interval and higher precision because there are much canopy on the ground. This requir bigger battery and more advanced positioning device than other species.
