Sleek, lithe and extremely rare: This elusive California fox has finally been GPS-collared

For the last decade, wildlife biologists have been using remote camera and scat surveys to track the movements of the fox in the southern Sierra.

The few remaining individuals live in barren, rugged terrain at high elevations.
