What the track shows

Followed for 4 years and 5 months, from June 1997 to December 2001, across 655 recorded positions.

It ranged between 9°N and 45°N, never leaving the northern hemisphere.

The water and air it moved through ran from 7°C to 28°C.

It averaged 33.8 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 4,349 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 92% 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.
