Crocodile Maps


The Franklin Eco-laboratory at the University of Queensland has electronically tagged a seat out of crocodiles. The tags permit the laboratory to monitor the place of crocodiles inward real-time as well as to written report the arrive at as well as movements of the animals inward the wild.

The laboratory's Crocodile Tracks website includes v interactive map showing the tracks of v dissimilar crocodiles. Using the maps y'all tin notice the surprisingly large arrive at of each of the v crocodiles over a menstruum of time.

Unfortunately the maps don't include a scale. Without a map scale it is quite difficult to larn a feel of how far an private crocodile has traveled. I mean value the maps would besides create goodness from a timeline. You tin click on the private tracking points on a map to persuasion the fourth dimension as well as engagement of the place tracked. It would go easier withal to gauge the passage of fourth dimension if y'all could charge each holler for consecutively using a timeline.

My finally occupation amongst the map is the selection of color for the tracking polylines. The white place tracks operate good on the satellite map exactly dice nearly invisible if y'all switch to the OSM map layer.

If y'all similar these crocodile maps as well as thus y'all mightiness savor these other animal tracking maps.
