It averaged 13 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

It finished 112 km from where it started, roughly back in the same region.

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.
