| Range use by an adult male caracal in the southern Kalahari | |
| 1994 Koedoe (37): 105-108 | |
The home range of felids is largely determined by factors related to hunting success, but especially to the number of hunting places, cover and prey abundance. In arid areas with a variable prey base and relatively sparse cover, it can therefore be expected that felid range sizes will be greater than elsewhere for the same species. This hypothesis is examined here, using data from a single adult male caracal _Felis caracal_ radio-tracked in the south-western part of the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park of South Africa from 26 January 1990 to 12 August 1991. |
