Anna

Sex Female
Date Tagged 03/21/01
Place Tagged Port of the Islands (25.958N -81.509W )
Background

Anna has proven to be one of the females that travels the most during winter, and so it will be interesting to see if she continues this during this season too. During strong cold fronts she will move from the TTI into Whitewater Bay in the most southern Everglades area. As temperatures rise again, she comes back to the TTI/POI area. She is the only female who has regularly exhibited these movements. Throughout the rest of the year her home range for feeding areas are Whitehorse and Gullivan Keys pretty consistently, as well as Gullivan Bay and the grassbeds of Cape Romano. Throughout the year she makes regular trips to POI for freshwater.

Anna was originally captured and tagged at POI on 21 March 2001. She is a large adult female (314cm long and weighed 1,270 pounds at time of capture) and had a large calf with her at the time of capture. By the end of May 2001 she had weaned her calf. We have successfully tracked her since her original tagging date and have learned that some of her favorite spots in spring and summer are around Turtle, Gullivan and Hog Keys, which are all part of the Ten Thousand Islands area and the Gullivan Bay/Cape Romano area.
