- Abstract
The article examines radio-transmitter attachments to the pygmy hippopotamus at Gladys Porter Zoo, Brownsville, Texas, in March and December 2010. According to the authors, for in situ placement of telemetry attachments, anaesthesia is necessary to facilitate secure attachment as without anaesthesia, animals may become aggressive.
