NASA technology to track sea otters

"When you think of technology development at NASA, your first thought may be spacecraft and satellites. But one of the latest inventions to come out of the agency's lead maker space isn't made for astronauts or engineers – but for sea otters.... This new and improved tracking device is still being tested, but once it’s ready to be deployed, scientists will be able to track sea otter populations with far more precision and frequency than was previously possible. In the future, the same technology could be used to track other wild animals." - Excerpt from NASA Ames Research Center
