Solar-Powered Flashtags to Deter Predation



FlashTags are motion-activated, solar-powered ear tags developed by Utah State University to protect sheep and cattle from predators like wolves, coyotes, and grizzly bears. They emit random light patterns at night to mimic human presence, significantly reducing livestock mortality. Trials show reduced attacks. 

Notice that red fox are not even mentioned as sheep predators.  Guess why?
