What the track shows

Followed for 4 months, from September 2021 to December 2021, across 64 recorded positions.

It ranged between 9°S and 39°N, crossing the equator once.

The water and air it moved through ran from 18°C to 28°C.

It averaged 59.1 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 5,330 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 50% of them.
