What the track shows

Followed for 2 years and 7 months, from May 2016 to January 2019, across 760 recorded positions.

It ranged between 27°N and 33°N, never leaving the northern hemisphere.

The water and air it moved through ran from 5°C to 19°C.

It averaged 11.2 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 934 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 59% of them.
