This Tidy Tuesday explores the squirrel census! I took the opportunity to try to learn a little Leaflet.
The first map shows all squirrels with given distance above ground at which they were sighted. NA’s were filtered out. According to the data dictionary, fields were populated with a value of “FALSE” if the squirrel was on the ground plane so these values were changed to zeros. This map is mostly filled with dark blue, the color of ground-dwelling squirrels.
Next, ground plane was filtered out and only values below 50 are shown. This map is a little more manageable.
The final map shows values above 50. There are only a handful of such points.
I couldn’t find any information about the units for the measurement, so I’m not sure if the upper range makes any sense…
