Hi Dr. Schuttler, I would be interested in knowing if in your job you make use of data science/machine learning techniques. If you do, in what way? I suppose you could use them to try to predict their movements over land or decode their "language" (which is something I saw you mention in other posts) or use cameras to automatically track them. As a future biomedical engineer (only a few exams to go!) with a soft spot for machine learning and wildlife, I would love to give my personal contribute to saving animals using my skills. Do you think they could be useful skills in the study and preservation of wildlife? And do you know, by chance, of any universities which offer Ph.D's in the area I mentioned?

Yours is a truly significant job and I have learned a lot from the replies to other posts. Thank you very much!

So their ear patterns become a bit like fingerprints, that's cool! I would have never guessed it was used in such a way. Thank you very much for the reply. I hope in the future I'll be able to contribute in something this significant as well :)
