MATILDA was first collared on the Central Arctic calving grounds as a calf. However, during the winter of 2004, the Central Arctic and Porcupine Caribou overlapped in winter ranges near Arctic Village, Alaska. Then, in the spring of 2004, Matilda moved north with Porcupine Caribou instead of heading back west with other Central Arctic Caribou. During the winter of 2004 - 2005 Matilda headed into Porcupine Caribou winter range in the Yukon, and was recaptured and collared with one of our satellite collars. Unfortunately, she died shortly after calving, June 2005.
