Sooty albatross
Phoebetria fusca
41,567 km tracked over 150 days.
Followed for 5 months, from April 2009 to September 2009, across 300 recorded positions.
It ranged between 53°S and 33°S, never leaving the southern hemisphere.
The water and air it moved through ran from 3°C to 14°C.
It averaged 278 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.
Its last fix was 2,603 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 89% of them.
