  1. Cluster analysis for GPS locations had 36% of the recordings characterized as extensive, and 63% of the recordings as intensive. For the thread trailing data, extensive movement was characterized as 79% of the values and intensive as 21% of the values. Mean turning angle was larger in the thread trailing for both the extensive and intensive movements
