Introducing an Application that Lets You Track a Lion!

Doogs, you're a sharp cookie. I had this e-mail and haven't shared it with everyone

Thanks and it surely looks interesting. I am going to the Google store now to see if I can find it.

£2.78 downloaded on my Tablet, this should be fun and interesting. You are a Doogs.

Great find Doogs, one to look into. Mrs S has a new android phone, that I'm showing her how to use, and she's just joined FB on it. So as she gets use to operating it this could be one for the future. My phone's still a brick I spend enough time on the Internet, without any more temptation

I've not spent long with this App yet but so far they have listed

Mufasa - male lion who lives in Lewa
Rupi - Ruppells' vulture who was tagged in the Mara but is likely to cover vast areas of East Africa
Kalama - Grevy zebra - she is 5 years old and lives in Samburu
Maureen - a ele from Amboseli

You can read about the project as well as details on each of the above + a map showing their movements and a chart showing distances.

It looks like more animals/birds will be added.

I think this will be fun to follow.

Doogs. Vultures although not too attractive are quite fascinating, so to see just where it goes will be great.

I am remember to keep it updated so I don't miss any new additions.

Lai

Must make a note to check daily and report back Doogs. I am a tad forgetful at the moment


Lai

Checked last night and it gives you a 14 day tracking record, fascinating to see how far and the route all the animals and the vulture are taking.

I also added another 3 eles from Amboseli. Worryingly the lion has not been picked up for 14 days, I will check again tonight.

Lai

Thats really exciting Doogs. I don't have a smart phone just a Blackberry but I could down load it to my tablet......and then like Lai, try and remember to follow it, I too am rather forgetful but I would love to have it to follow and I love that you can add who you want to follow.

Checking now ..................

yes, updated and showing he is moving around the area to the left of Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, just trying to work out how far he travels, I may have to ask Pete to translate the graph.
