Yesterday, the matriarch of one of Thanda Safari’s herds of Elephants got a new radio collar. It was an exciting experience for everyone participating in the operation.
The new collar is not only there to track the movement of its carrier, but uses AI technology to provide our wildlife department with a lot of valuable information deduced from the data collected. The same collars in a ‘foot version’ are used on many of our Rhinos to support Thanda’s conservation efforts.
I love this aerial shot of the large female. Shortly after the procedure was finished she woke up and re-joined her herd.
Technical data: DJI Mavic Mini 3 Pro Drone | ISO 100 | 1/500sec | f1.7 | ev+0 | 24mm | WB AUTO | Crop to 30% of original image
Please note: For anti-poaching-, privacy,- and wildlife protection- reasons Thanda Safari does not allow any third-party-drones to be flown over the reserve.
