Over the last 20 years animal movement data has become one of the primary tools in managing and conserving wildlife. Its helping scientists better understand the ecology of everything from albatross and bluefin tuna in the oceans to antelope and cheetahs on land. But how often does the non-scientist actually get to see and play with this data? Here we’ve developed a new app to allow you to share a seat with the scientists and inspect for yourselves how mountain lions move around their landscape. The app allows you to view near-real time movement data of the different lions in the study. Now you too can be a scientist tracking the big cats! Sadly it won’t work on ios devices. Feel free to complain to Apple 😉
