In Anatolia, jumbo-collar-cameras on black bears help investigate the dense population's interaction with humans, given the surrounding motorway and the garbage dump which became a last resort feeding round for undernourished surplus bears, so policy is improved by planning to expand the forest. In the French mountains, night-vision cameras on dog collars show how a diverse group of shepherd dogs is best to protect the sheep against roaming wolf packs. Colar don't take on manta rays, so cords are used to fix cameras on some giants to film how they massively converge on a single underwater mountain near the Azores, for breeding in extremely rich waters.
