What the track shows

Followed for 1 year and 6 months, from September 2015 to March 2017, across 210 recorded positions.

It ranged between 19°S and 61°N, crossing the equator 4 times.

The water and air it moved through ran from 12°C to 28°C.

It averaged 63 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 5,773 km from its first, so the track we have is a one-way journey rather than a closed loop.

Of the 320 species followed here, this animal covered more ground than 88% of them.
