04. A Grizzly Bear Named “G-11″
Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008
 |
This bear was caught previously at this same site and tagged “G-11″. It is “field processed.” Researchers remove the animal from the snare and tattoo its lip to help track it later. They take and record its blood pressure and temperature. And they clamp a tongue probe to the bear’s tongue. The tongue probe measures the bear’s oxygen-saturation levels to determine the amount of stress the animal experiences during field processing.
