Twitter thread, with lots of good stuff in the replies. [twitter.com profile] DaniRabaiotti
My favourite thing is when people stick trackers on animals and one does literally nothing interesting and sits in 1 place 99% of the time and the researchers are like oh yeah that weird datapoint is Lazy Geoff, he doesn't ever do anything for reasons we don't entirely understand


A couple of my faves:

In my current fish tracking work I have one fish that travels at least 550 miles round trip every year and one that is only ever found in the same place it was tagged years ago.

My sister is observing a marbled murrelet pair and their egg. One of the parents is normal, but this one is kinda dumb. He once ran into a tree branch, tried to fight it for 20 minutes, then tripped over his own egg. We named him Craig [pic of Craig included!]
