Guanacos are camelids, related to llamas, normally found in South America. In the 1930’s they were introduced to a small private island (Staats island) in the Falkland Islands for the purpose of hunting. These animals thrived and grew into a larger population isolated from the normal population of the South America mainland. Bill Franklin, Ph.D. from Iowa State University has been studying a number of features of these animals and this isolated population, often using citizen scientists to collect data. We explored a data set containing measurements of Guanaco skulls from Staats Island collected from 6 different years. This data set is not published or publicly available (see Marsha Timmerman or Bill Franklin for access). We used a tool called Motion Chart, a gadget within Google Spreadsheets, to visualize this data and determine how certain factors changed over time.
