- Abstract
The article discusses about satellite monitorings of black bears. According to the article, a black bear was attached with a ground tracking transmitter collar on October 16, 1969 and was then tracked with a portable directional receiver for 27 days while the researchers sets up the den for the bear to sleep during hibernation. It was gathered in the research that there is a freezing temperature in most locations of the den. Bears were observed to have lost minimal body weight during the time when they are at their den. The majority of their weight is lost during the time when they come out of their dens during spring time.
