Description
In this National Geographic News article, read about the potential use of digitized animal prints to track and monitor rhinos and other endangered species. The scientists involved in the effort say the invasive methods currently used on rhinos--such as radio collaring, horn implants, and ear notching--are very expensive and can be dangerous to both the animals and people involved.
