Radio collars on lions Dec 13 2007

In several of our recent lion video clips from the Okavango Delta (for example, Risky brushes with lions, Lion cubs lead the way), you will have noticed that some of the lionesses have collars around their necks. These are radio transmitter collars used by biologists running a lion research project here in Botswana.
