This will only be the second time that GPS collars have been used in ocelot research. We will be able to gain insight into how ocelots move across the landscape in ways we never have before.
So three cheers to the people who have made this possible!
And I wouldn't leave you without a photograph. We're rodent trapping again on Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge (gotta learn stuff about what ocelots eat), so here are some photos of us in the field.
Fulvous harvest mouse (Reithrodontomys fulvescens), 3 days old
On cold mornings, some of them need a little warming up, so they get a ride in the pocket
And then there are the other residents of the refuge. Diamond rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox)
