What the track shows

Followed for 1 year and 3 months, from January 2022 to April 2023, across 168 recorded positions.

It ranged between 37°N and 37°N, never leaving the northern hemisphere.

Remarkably, it stayed inside a narrow thermal band the whole time, between 4°C and 9°C.

It averaged 0.2 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

It finished within 2 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.
