South American jaguar resting along the shoreline of the Cuiaba River. Of the two adult females I saw on the trip, this one was wearing a GPS tracking collar.

 

GPS wildlife tracking is a process whereby biologists, scientific researchers or conservation agencies can remotely observe relatively fine-scale movement or migratory patterns in a free-ranging wild animal using the Global Positioning System and optional environmental sensors or automated data-retrieval technologies.
