Bio-logging collar reveals unprecedented detail about California mountain lions - Science Nation

The video explores the secretive nature of mountain lions and the challenges in studying them. It highlights the use of advanced tracking collars developed by Chris Wilmers and his team, which record detailed data on the animals' location, behavior, and physiology. The collars, supported by the National Science Foundation, help researchers understand the biology and habitat preferences of mountain lions. The video also discusses the development of smaller, power-efficient sensors for these collars and the potential to predict animal behavior to prevent conflicts with humans. Conservation efforts to provide safe passages for wildlife near urban areas are also covered.
