Animal locating device, in particular for locating livestock, comprising: - a feature detecting device for detecting an animal-specific feature, - an image capturing device which is configured to detect a plurality of animals within an animal enclosure at time intervals, - a data processing device which is connected to the feature detecting device and image capturing device by signal transmission and is configured ∘ to correlate an animal-specific feature detected by the feature detecting device with an animal located in the range of the feature detecting device detected by the image capturing device and thus identify the animal, and ∘ to track the identified animal, preferably a plurality of identified animals, in successive image captures of the image capturing device and thus determine their location, - a display device which is configured to display to a user the location of one or more identified animals, characterised in that - the data processing device is configured to correlate animal-specific behaviour patterns with one or accordingly several animals by tracking the contours of one or more animals, in particular a feeding operation of an animal, cannibalism amongst the animals or a behaviour typical of disease, and preferably furthermore - the display device is configured to display the animals as symbols within a symbolised animal enclosure and to mark the symbol(s) of those animals with which a specific animal-specific behaviour pattern was correlated and/or - the display device is a monitor on which the animals are displayed by symbols within a symbolised animal enclosure, and the animal-specific feature of the respective animal is displayed for or in the symbol of an animal, preferably for or in the symbols of two and in particular all the animals within the animal enclosure. - a feature detecting device for detecting an animal-specific feature, - an image capturing device which is configured to detect a plurality of animals within an animal enclosure at time intervals, - a data processing device which is connected to the feature detecting device and image capturing device by signal transmission and is configured ∘ to correlate an animal-specific feature detected by the feature detecting device with an animal located in the range of the feature detecting device detected by the image capturing device and thus identify the animal, and ∘ to track the identified animal, preferably a plurality of identified animals, in successive image captures of the image capturing device and thus determine their location, ∘ to correlate an animal-specific feature detected by the feature detecting device with an animal located in the range of the feature detecting device detected by the image capturing device and thus identify the animal, and ∘ to track the identified animal, preferably a plurality of identified animals, in successive image captures of the image capturing device and thus determine their location, - a display device which is configured to display to a user the location of one or more identified animals, characterised in that - the data processing device is configured to correlate animal-specific behaviour patterns with one or accordingly several animals by tracking the contours of one or more animals, in particular a feeding operation of an animal, cannibalism amongst the animals or a behaviour typical of disease, and preferably furthermore - the display device is configured to display the animals as symbols within a symbolised animal enclosure and to mark the symbol(s) of those animals with which a specific animal-specific behaviour pattern was correlated and/or - the display device is a monitor on which the animals are displayed by symbols within a symbolised animal enclosure, and the animal-specific feature of the respective animal is displayed for or in the symbol of an animal, preferably for or in the symbols of two and in particular all the animals within the animal enclosure. <EOS>
