Post Release Information Wildlife Rescue Team has conducted post release studies as well as made use of other studies done by other rehabilitators to determine the success of the rehabilitation process.  The released species should exhibit the same behavior as those raised in the wild.  If so, the released animals should have the same probability of thriving as their wild counterparts.  Below is some information on the tracking process.

	The much anticipated "release" is underway for F 8.2 (female on frequency 8.2) and M 9.1 (male on frequency 9.1) at approximately 9:30 pm, October 1, 1994 at a member's release site in the country.  Each animal has a breakaway collar with transmitters broadcasting their own unique radio frequencies.
	This is the radio signal tracking receiver currently dialed to frequency 9.1 to track the male raccoon shown above.
	The monitoring begins.  The antenna is used to pick up the radio waves being broadcast by the released raccoons' transmittors which are located on the breakaway collars.  By taking two readings from two separate places, you can triangulate an approximate location of the animal.  Most of the readings were done from the road to avoid encroaching on the raccoons' area.
