A resent advancement in the field of movement ecology is the use of GPS activity sensors for the identification of detailed patterns of animal activity. This can potentially yield knowledge about the detailed activity budget of free-ranging elusive animals. The aim of this thesis was to separate behavior types to identify the activity budget of wild reindeer. Two free-ranging wild reindeer were fitted with GPS collars with integrated activity sensor and video camera. The video camera recorded video while the activity sensor simultaneously measured activity intensity. I classified the visual observations of reindeer behavior and assigned them into different behavior categories. I then paired the behavior classification with the correspondin...
