Well all I _know_ is what I read in that article but
it could be that they are trying to track the breeders
to maximize the genetic diversity in a limited population,
to protect an endangered species from inbreeding
which may lay the entire population open to viral decimation?

Oooorrr, they may use genetics to actually track individuals
of reclusive nocturnal animals whom they don't see but see
evidence of?

Orrr, maybe somebody blabbed about the cool
scam they were pulling on the government?
