This GPS tag will provide invaluable data for the team of amazing experts from the University of Georgia Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant to continue their important research on alligators in the Okefenokee Swamp area. Thanks to Kimberly Andrews, Mark Hoog, and Abbey Crossman for their continuous hard work studying and conserving these amazing crocodilians! Special thanks to Keeva Kase and the Communities of Coastal Georgia Foundation for generously providing funds for the GPS tracker. And a huge shout out to Keeva's son, Ketch - a longtime Brave Wilderness fan and member of the Coyote Pack! Ketch's love for wildlife is what prompted the early conversations to make this episode happen!
