Some species, such as anteaters have very tapered necks and thin heads making transmitter attachment using a collar difficult. Use of a harness similar to that shown here can offer an option for such species. Different types of transmitters, such as VHF, GPS/Iridium, or GPS/Globalstar can be mounted on such harnesses.
Implantable VHF transmitters are also an option for similar species where a collar presents difficulties.
