Peccary Sighting
Adam
Today Andrew and Flora went with Ellen to locate the radio-collared peccaries using the radio transmitter. We would stop the jeep periodically to test the frequency of each peccary. We have to turn off the jeep and any other electronic equipment to reduce the interference with the tracking frequencies. One signal was very strong, and the peccary was so close that Andrew saw it run across the road behind the jeep.
