Polar bear tracking easier with new method

A new way of tracking polar bears will not only help keep tabs of the Arctic animals, but also gives trackers an easier and more cost efficient way of doing their job. The three part method, developed at Queen’s University by biologists Peter V.C. de Groot and Peter Boag, combines traditional methods of Inuit hunting with up to date genetic DNA analysis and is less stressful on the polar bears than the current method of tracking then from a helicopter, tranquilizing and then marking them.
