What the track shows

Followed for 4 years and 9 months, from May 2019 to February 2024, across 1,584 recorded positions.

It ranged between 10°N and 44°N, never leaving the northern hemisphere.

The water and air it moved through ran from 0°C to 33°C.

It averaged 35.4 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 3,256 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 94% of them.

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.
