Big Study
The subjects weigh tons and the study area covers 50,000 square miles. The San Diego Zoo has collared about 60 African elephants in this big research project.
The study area overlaps into the African nations of Botswana, Namibia, Angola, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
"The study is meant to monitor the impact of herds on various habitats from desert to riverine." It "will increase the understanding of elephant biology and help improve the management of elephants in zoos."
