00:00What we're doing here is darting this adult cow and the whole idea is that she will stay
00:22with the herd and then the park can monitor the movement of the herd and be able to see
00:27how they're utilizing this habitat. There's quite a lot of risk when you're collaring an animal.
00:34You've got all of the moving parts of the scientists and the vets and the helicopters
00:37and the dangerous game all put together in a completely uncontrolled environment.
00:42Everybody's got to know what their role is.
00:51And what they're doing is recording the number of the collar as well as the frequency for the
00:56tracking device or the receiver so you can follow this buffalo.
01:01The most important component of modern day conservation is that your conservation
01:05decisions are informed by good science and that's exactly what's happening right here.
01:16Just cutting the end of the collar off. At all times this buffalo is blindfolded so that the sun
01:21doesn't hurt her eyes and also to minimize the stimulation.
01:27You know the longer an animal's out the higher the risk and so keeping them out for as little
01:30time as possible is really important. The collar's on, they've got all of the data they need and the
01:35antidote's about to go in.
01:36The antidote takes effect really really fast so it went intravenous she's already standing up.
