For thousands of years, tracking animals meant following
footprints. Now satellites, drones, camera traps, cellphone
networks, and accelerometers reveal the natural world as never
before. Where the Animals Go is the first book to offer a
comprehensive, data-driven portrait of how creatures like ants,
otters, owls, turtles, and sharks navigate the world. Based on
pioneering research by scientists at the forefront of the
animal-tracking revolution, James Cheshire and Oliver Uberti's
stunning, four-color charts and maps tell fascinating stories of
animal behavior. These astonishing infographics explain how
warblers detect incoming storms using sonic vibrations, how baboons
make decisions, and why storks prefer garbage dumps to wild forage;
they follow pythons racing through the Everglades, a lovelorn wolf
traversing the Alps, and humpback whales visiting undersea
mountains. Where the Animals Go is a triumph of technology, data
science, and design, bringing broad perspective and intimate detail
to our understanding of the animal kingdom.
