Technology is important in order to conduct research on lions in Gorongosa national park. Studying lions is not that easy, however, applications of technology like satellite collars that demonstrate complete information on the daily activity of lions has greatly developed the study of lions.
As each lion exhibit a specific pattern of whisker-spots on both the side of its face and similar to human fingerprints, no two lions share the same whisker patterns and even do not modify with time. Hence, with the help of photos, the lions are being identified conclusively.
In order to find the age of a lion, various characteristics like coloration and size of the body, condition of the tooth, mane size, and a technique of evaluating age using coloration of the individual nose are used.
