Movement data of a single lowland tapir

Caption

Movement data of a single lowland tapir (typical specimen in the embedded image), collected over a period of about two years. Single dots represent single GPS recordings. Shaded areas represent the animals home range. The animal was present in areas with varying degrees of human disturbance. The color range goes from dark green (pristine nature) to dark brown (heavily influenced by humans).
