Because she's so readily visible and her whereabouts so evident I don't imagine tracking would be needed or of much research interest at this point. Plus which the photographers would riot if their shots were spoiled by a collar! It's possible 610, her daughter from 2006, was collared. But there are (obviously, given the fertility of 399 and 610) boars around as well, though you almost never see them. Which might make them good candidates for tracking projects.

I've posted a bunch of photos of 399 and the two cubs born in 2013 that survived the winter lower down on this page, the first in the main series is linked below if you'd enjoy looking at them.

399 and kids late May
