This dataset includes locations of burros between 2016 and 2020 from two study areas where burros were located every 2 hours continuously using GPS telemetry collars for Lotek collars, and every 13 hours continuously for Vectronic Aerospace collars. Location data are from adult female burros, not males. Study areas are the Lake Pleasant Herd Management Area in Arizona, USA and the Sinbad Herd Management Area in Utah, USA. Some burro location data from the Lake Pleasant Herd Management Area were collected by the Arizona Game and Fish Department, covering the same time period and methods as USGS-collected data
