Misleading Headline

MSNBC has an article on its web site with the headline “Kenya’s elephants send text messages“. It’s not what you think.




[
An animal-right's group] placed a mobile phone SIM card in Kimani’s collar, then set up a virtual “geofence” using a global positioning system that mirrored the conservatory’s boundaries. Whenever Kimani approaches the virtual fence, his collar texts rangers.


Besides the headline being funny, the concept of mobile technology and animal life is interesting. Merging 2 different walks of "life" are really interesting.
