This paper presents step-by-step instructions for taking an animal location data set, creating a set of kernel home range utilization distribution contours, and formatting and manipulating those contour files for display in Google Earth. The intent of this paper is to assist researchers studying animal movement and habitat use patterns in overcoming common problems of interoperability of data between the various software programs. I also highlight the features of Google Earth Pro that add useful information on habitat and terrain characteristics to the display of animal location and home range data, as well as those features that permit analyses of home range and habitat use.
