That's what author Martin Wikelski and his team of scientists believe, and this book shares their story for the first time. As they tag animals around the world with minuscule tracking devices, they link their movements to The International Space Station, which taps into the "internet of animals" an astonishing network of information made up of thousands of animals communicating with each other and their environments. Called the International Cooperation for Animal Research Using Space, or ICARUS, this phenomenal project is poised to change our world. Down on the ground, Wikelski describes animals' sixth sense first-hand. Farm animals become restless when earthquakes are imminent. Animals on the African plains sense when poachers are on the move. Frigatebirds in South America depart before hurricanes arrive."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 610 20 $a ICARUS (Project) 650 0 $a Animal intelligence. 650 0 $a Animal marking. 941 $a 3 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240702031851.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240702010951.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240604014950.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9A95CC46223B11EF96E545AA58ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
