How are penguins tracked?Updated 6 months ago

“We use tracking devices that use different technology depending on what information we need to collect. Satellite devices allow us to track penguins online and know their position at all times. We do not need to recover the device to obtain the information. On the other hand, devices with GPS technology have to be recovered to obtain the information and we do not know where the penguin is during the trip.” - Global Penguin Society
