This map has been posted at least 6 times this year. I agree its a good map, but we probably don't need to see it again.

Top comment from the first link of course points out that the title is wrong and that it is 20 eagles over 1 year. Which makes far more sense.

Though there doesn't seem to be any clear research group or evidence beyond very short internet articles (from places like BoredPanda) relating to this map.
Not the same study but the only deep bit of information I can find quickly - https://www.researchgate.net/publication/289205056_Steppe_Eagle_migration_strategies_-_Revealed_by_satellite_telemetry

Botswana to Kazakhstan for Eagle E5. That's impressive!

Yes, you may well be correct, but I browse here daily, if not more, and it's the first time it's ever popped up for me. I can't be the only one.

This eagle must have a bucket list.

This eagle ain’t got shit on Elon

It's amazing to think that one organism traveled this much. What other animals do this?

It didn’t. This map gets constantly reposted, always with the false title; it actually shows where 20 eagles went in 1 year, not where 1 eagle went over 20 years.

Fucking eagles, more like ditch rats. Probably following highways eating roadkill.

This is 20 eagles over 1 year and NOT 1 eagle over 20 years. https://mymodernmet.com/eagle-tracking-map/
So it’s 1 eagle 1 year times 20
20 eagleyears.
Thank you for pointing out this distinction. It's an important one!
