1. An apparatus for monitoring members of a non-human animal species, comprising:
- a monitoring garment to be worn by said member animals that is adapted and configured to the size and behavior of said member animals and that permits said member animals to perform normal activities;
one or more sensors incorporated into said garment for sensing physiological functioning of said member animals; and
a portable data unit that is adapted and configured to be carried on said member animals and that activates said sensors and retrieves physiological data from said sensors without wired external connection.
