00:00Johan decides to rope the rhino to assist it with going down, a method they often used when larger herbivores aren't completely affected by the drugs.
00:12So we're just measuring the ankle of the rhino just to get the right adjustment on the collars that we're putting on.
00:31We're putting on these solar panel GPS collars just to check the rhino.
00:34So we want to just measure the ankle just so we can get the right size of the collar so it's not too tight.
00:4053. So on a collar we've got a couple of holes here that give you the different sizes so we're going to try and use two and three.
00:52They say they can last pretty much forever as long as they're getting sun and they're recharging themselves.
00:59The problem is if they go below a certain amount on the battery life then the collars will actually die and then you have to replace them.
01:05So we're just taking the photos, we'll take the photo of the collar number and the size which is why I'm putting my hand in here just so we know that the size is regulated.
01:13And then we send those through to the chap that's actually developed these collars and then he will install it onto the system that we're using, earth rangers, so we can actually track these animals which is the purpose of the collar.
01:26So let's check it out.
01:28You
