It finished within 15 km of where it started, a round trip closed almost exactly.

Of the 320 species followed here, this animal covered more ground than 79% 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.
