Our audiologgers capture granular details about a caribou’s life, which can be dissected from the movement data (the GPS collar and the accelerometer) and heard on the audio. Below are a few examples from one caribou collared in 2024 who later calved on the Bluenose East calving grounds.

Zoom in and click on the location tag below the icons to see the movement data associated with each event.
