Optimisation of GPS-GSM tracking device and a general survey of varanus salvator for future behavioural studies in Singapore project 1.

Global Positioning System (GPS) has been used to track on many types of animals to study their behaviours and migrations. Varanus Salvator, also known as Water monitor lizard, is a semi-aquatic reptile that yet to have sufficient information reported on their behaviour throughout the day. With a goo...
