What the track shows

Followed for 2 years and 5 months, from July 2022 to November 2024, across 859 recorded positions.

It ranged between 17°S and 14°S, never leaving the southern hemisphere.

Remarkably, it stayed inside a narrow thermal band the whole time, between 20°C and 26°C.

It averaged 21 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

It finished within 28 km of where it started, a round trip closed almost exactly.

Of the 320 species followed here, this animal covered more ground than 73% of them.

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.
