My favourite thing is when people stick trackers on animals and one does literally nothing interesting and sits in 1 place 99% of the time and the researchers are like oh yeah that weird datapoint is Lazy Geoff, he doesn't ever do anything for reasons we don't entirely understand
And that animal is just thriving out there,doing literally none of the stuff his buddies do, and noone really understands why or how the animal is continuing to live its best life out there.
And when you tag an animal like this it often causes a lot of panic because you're forever like oh shiiii it's been in the same place for 3 days wtf is it dead? Has the mortality sensor malfunctioned? Then you go check on it and its straight up chilling.
Anyway this is dedicated to the urban foxe I tracked nightly when I was an undergrad who just sat under a shed in some blokes back garden for 3 months.
I love the amount of researchers posting about their own Lazy Geoffs in this thread
