The use of game trails as a possible measure of habitat utilisation by larger mammals
Abstract
Percentage cover of game trails is discussed as a possible measure of total habitat utilisation by larger mammals and a technique for its measurement is described. Game trail cover in Tsavo National Park (East) at Voi has been analysed in two areas, woodland and grassland. Of these the woodland had the higher trail cover (10.69%) and grassland the lower (7.57%). The interpretation of these results is discussed.
