Researchers in Germany have invented a way to remotely track thousands of animals - over years - to learn more about how they make decisions and accumulate knowledge over their lifetimes, and their migration habits.
Their goal is to use powerful sensors to monitor the animals and build a network they call the "internet of animals".
The project could also help to improve protection for animal species worldwide.
Guest: Professor Mark Wikelski, Director of the Department of Migration at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behaviour.
