Radio telemetry

Wildlife radio telemetry is important for monitoring animal movement. Transmitters, such as collars, are attached to animals and the transmission of radio signals is monitored and used to locate the animal. This tiger, named C1, was also tracked with the help of his radio collar. However, the battery of his radio collar had drained out, as informed by Kaswan in his post.
