These animated videos represent the daily habitat suitability of Antarctic blue whales (ABWs, Balaenoptera musculus intermedia ) in the Weddell Sea. Each animated video shows respective habitat suitability maps using different types of ABWs datasets:visual data only (using static and dynamic predictors);visual data only (using only dynamic predictors);PAM data only;Combined visual and PAM data.Animated videos represent the daily predicted habitat suitability (2003-2019) as long as summary maps per each calendar day (between 2003 and 2019, irrespective of the year): mean, Q75 (3 rd quartile), and Q90 (90 th percentile).For more information, see the full manuscript:> El-Gabbas, A., Thomisch, K., Van opzeeland, I., Burkhardt, E., & Boebel, O.
