Bison On The Map; Park Tracks Animals in Real Time

Must read

In a park in Saskatchewan, Canada, 14 bison are wearing special GPS ear tags that track their location in real-time.

This helps park visitors know where the bison are, so they can see them more easily.

The bison’s locations are shown on a TV screen as little white dots, making it easier for people to spot them.

Dave Bjarnason, the park’s manager, said Buffalo Pound is the only provincial park in Saskatchewan with bison, which have been there since 1972. The tags were first used in October 2024.

“The age-old question has always been from our visitors: ‘Where are the buffalo?'” said Bjarnason. “Often the disappointment is, you drive all the way down there, get up to the lookout point and they can’t see the buffalo.”
