New "Burr on Fur" trackers allow researchers to follow movements of adult male and subadult polar bears, two groups that can't be studied using traditional satellite collars.
Adult male bears can't wear collars because they slip off their cone-shaped necks and heads.
Researchers have confirmed that subadult and adult males spend most of their time on land lazing around, conserving energy until the ice returns.
The top-performing fur tag was the SeaTrkr Tag , which remained attached to the bears for an average of 58 days and had superior accuracy due to its use of GPS/Iridium technology.
The fur tags show great promise for future use in tracking polar bears, especially those that must be relocated after approaching too close to communities.
