Balaenoptera edeni
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Galápagos National Park, aggregated onto a 25 km grid. A cell is matched by its centre, which can sit up to 16 km outside the boundary, so this covers the surrounding country too.
Occurrence records measure where people looked and found something, which is not the same as where the animal is. This is a relative likelihood, not a probability.
A grid cell is a square of the map, not a sighting: 4 squares of 25 km carry records for Bryde's Whale in and around Galápagos National Park, and the 1 records behind them were collected by other people and published openly. Nothing here counts animals, and a place with more records is not always a place with more animals.
Table Mountain, Garden Route and Addo Elephant National Park are the three atlas places where the Bryde's Whale is recorded. Its records concentrate in South Africa, Brazil, Australia, Mexico and Thailand, with 225 records across 16 countries.
Of the 10 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Galápagos National Park, the Bryde's Whale is the 10th most recorded.
