"The tracking collar is embedded with a ballistic sensor that can detect
the shockwaves of a gunshot and then send an alert to authorities with
the GPS coordinates of the event. Having a real-time notification like
that gives authorities the chance to catch poachers in the act and even
possibly prevent the removal of tusks."
Via Andres Soolo, who wrote:
"Mounting mobile gunshot detectors on elephants may be helpful in
protecting their beautiful sharp teeth from those humans who would like
to rob them."
