00:00OK, so we've just received the latest upload on three particular lions.
00:08So we're going to head out there straight away and do some collar adjustments and just gather some bloods and some genetic data.
00:14I've loaded two darts for females and we're just going to do one for a male, just in case you run into a male.
00:23Of the original lions we brought in, the majority of them were collared.
00:27Some of the collars failed, which are our priority to change, so we can keep tabs on them.
00:32These are the lion units, also with their satellite collars and does three to four downloads per day via satellite.
00:40And then we can also track them with a receiver and a Yagi.
00:44So these we're going to just really replace.
00:48Those animals where the collars aren't working anymore or where there's a lot of wear and tear, we're just going to replace them.
00:56Typically it should last about two years, but we need to make sure that the unit is talking to the satellite.
01:02So then we come and put it out in the open so that it's not shielded by a box or indoors.
01:07And then we just wait for the satellite to pass overhead really, which will be three or four times a day.
01:12And we just make sure that there's been an upload.
01:14The unit picks up the real time movement of the animal all the time, but then it uploads it to the satellite only three to four times a day.
01:22So when we open the software program, it gives an absolute map of the movement of the animal throughout the day.
01:29So there's a particular line in line 2785 that we're trying to locate.
01:34We're just going to check these latest coordinates and hopefully it's out in the open.
01:38Is that it there?
01:40Is that it there?
