A vulture captured in the western Sudan town of Kereinek was spying for Israeli, Sudanese media say. The vulture had two wing bands and a German-made Israeli Park Services GPS chip. Its leg bore the logo of Jerusalem's Hebrew University. A Sundanese official claims the device was able to gather and transmit information, including images, via satellite uplink. Israel dismissed the allegation. An ecologist for Israel's Nature and Parks Authority said both the band and the GPS chip were nothing more than standard migration trackers with no photographic capability. One hundred other vultures have been tagged with the equipment, the ecologist said. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Next Animation Studio’s News Direct service provides daily, high-quality, informative 3D news animations that fill in for missing footage and help viewers understand breaking news stories or in-depth features on science, technology, and health.
