Elephant Walking Data

Elephants.Rd

Researchers Holdgate et al. (2016) studied walking behavior of elephants in North American zoos to see whether there is a difference in average distance traveled by African and Asian elephants in captivity. They put GPS loggers on 33 African elephants and 23 Asian elephants, and measured the distance (in kilometers) the elephants walked per day.
