An Animated Globe Showing 150 Species Migrations



This video is of an animated globe that shows 150 animal migrations across the globe based on data from Movebank, a public online database of animal tracking data hosted by the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology.

Over 11,000 researchers from around the world contributed the data which includes the routes of species that cover at least 310 miles (500 kilometers) in one direction for at least 45 days.

The animation is based on over a decade of research, condensed into one synthetic year.
