Animal Tracker is a free iPhone application developed by Max-Planck-Gesellschaft in the Education & Reference category. This app allows users to follow the movements of wild animals all over the world that are being tracked in near-real time. The movements are collected through tiny GPS tags carried by the animals and stored at Movebank, an online infrastructure used by researchers to manage, share, analyze, and archive animal movement data.

With Animal Tracker, users can actively participate in scientific research projects by uploading their real-life observations and photos of tagged animals. These observations are crucial for the scientists as they help in interpreting the data collected. While the positions of the tagged animals can be determined, additional behavioral observations from users greatly enhance the understanding of the animals' movements and behaviors.

By becoming an Animal Tracker user, you can contribute to scientific research and gain insights into the lives of wild animals around the world. Join the community of scientists and nature enthusiasts to make a difference in understanding and conserving our wildlife.
