Well – a minor miracle has occurred! After not hearing from Tsagaan for over a month, his collar transmitted a location on August 23rd. He’s right back in his usual home range in the Tost Mountains. The most plausible explanation is that the collar had rotated sideways on his neck, which either interfered with the collar’s ability to get a GPS fix or it’s ability to transmit the locations to the internet via the satellite network. Saikhan has left the Toson Bumba Mountains and has moved back into Aztai’s home range in the Tost Mountains in the vicinity of our research camp. And Itgel continues to make intermittent short-distance movements in the area where he was collared. These are interspersed with periods of remaining in the same location for several days, which is hopefully an indication that he is hunting and then sitting on his meal.
