DESIGN AND DESCRIPTION OF THE RADIOTELEMETRY INVESTIGATION OF THE ANIMALS

ABSTRACT. The paper observed in brief the basic methods and techniques for radio-tracking of wild animals. Their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. The main components of the three distinct types for radio-tracking: conventional, very-high-frequency radio tracking (VHF), satellite radio tracking and Global Positioning System radio tracking (GPS). It is put forward a proposal for radio telemetry investigations of big games in Bulgaria, results from which is expected to create a real picture of their main population-biological characteristics as the average home range size, 2) habitat selection and use,3) seasonal behavior and movement patterns
