Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute scientists are monitoring a herd of scimitar-horned oryx recently released to the grasslands of Chad.
A scimitar-horned oryx is fitted with a GPS collar. SCBI scientists will receive the position of every animal collared twice a day, allowing field staff to monitor the population based on the coordinates.
