Diversity and activity pattern of wildlife inhabiting catchment of Hulu Terangganu Hydroelectric Dam, Terengganu, Peninsular Malaysia
2016 AIP Conference Proceedings (1784): 060038
A series of camera trapping surveys were conducted to study the diversity and distribution of wildlife within the catchment of Hulu Terengganu Hydroelectric Dam. A total of 124 camera traps were deployed at nine study sites, continuously from June 2014 until December 2015. The total effort of camera trap surveys from all the study sites during the 18-month sampling period was 29,128 night traps, from which a total of 32 species of wildlife representing nine Orders were recorded. The most common species were Eurasian Wild Pig (_Sus scrofa_), Barking Deer (_Muntiacus muntjak_), and Malayan Tapir (_Tapirus indicus_). Camera trap data on activity patterns show that _Gallus gallus_,_ Muntiacus muntjak _and _Sus scrofa_ are diurnal animals, whereas _Tapirus indicus_, _Elephas maximus_ and _Helarctos malayanus_ are nocturnal animals.
