Biologging trackers have long been used to track and monitor marine animals like whales, sharks and dolphins. But it has been a challenge to use them on stingrays because of their smooth skin and the lack of a prominent fin.

Scientists have now developed a multisensor tag which can be securely attached to sting rays. The tags gather a wide array of data including how the animals move, how they interact with other species and move through their habitats. Watch the latest episode of Then vs Now to learn more.
