What the track shows

Followed for 37 days, from June 2020 to July 2020, across 27 recorded positions.

It ranged between 26°N and 26°N, never leaving the northern hemisphere.

Remarkably, it stayed inside a narrow thermal band the whole time, between 26°C and 28°C.

It averaged 0.6 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

It finished within 0 km of where it started, a round trip closed almost exactly.

This species is poached or persecuted, so the positions shown here are shifted by up to 20 km from where the animal really was. The route, its scale and its timing are unchanged; only the exact location is withheld.
