Proyecto Titi Event Part 2

At the event, we had a tracking demonstration. Anne brought in stuffed monkeys and hid them all over the yard! These monkeys weigh less than 1 pound fully grown and so you can't use radio collars and such on them as the collar would weigh more than the monkey! So the PT staff temporarily captures the tamarins with the help of some bananas and dyes each individual's hair a unique color and then places a small GPS satellite locater on them. This way they are able to track the monkeys to collect data on their daily activities to better understand their needs.
