More exciting news

Thanks to a new federal STEM grant provided through Title V/PPOHA here on the TAMUK campus, as well as a small grant from the Houston Safari Club, we will be ordering SEVEN GPS collars for use on bobcats and ocelots.

We are still working through some of the kinks for final approval to use the collars on ocelots, but we hope to have that squared away by trapping time this fall and winter. These GPS collars have been used successfully on bobcats for many years.

The quality and quantity of data that we can collect from GPS collars is astounding and this is going to truly provide important data for the conservation of endangered ocelot.

Ocelot Media Day

Last week state, federal and CKWRI biologists met to talk about how grants benefit non-game wildlife, such as the endangered ocelot.
