Study the travel patterns of the coyotes in the Visualization Tool. Do travel patterns and distances traveled differ:
- Between males and females?
- During day or night? When there is a full or new moon?
- Seasonally?
- In different territories?
- In different parts of the country?
- In different weather conditions?
What can be inferred from these differences or similarities? What other travel patterns can you explore or compare?
