How are giraffes tracked?Updated 6 months ago

Giraffes are tracked by placing a tag at the tail of the giraffe, which is now sending back hourly GPS locations via satellite to our partners at the Somali Giraffe Project. During the tagging process, their team is also able to take body measurements and other vitals such as blood and hair samples, depending on the specific research needs. This process is very quick and lasts less than 5-10 minutes from tagging to release.
