| Scat analysis and aspects of defecation in northern Cape leopards | |
| 1994 South African Journal of Wildlife Research (24): 21-25 | |
Leopard scats from the Augrabies Falls and Kalahari Gemsbok National Parks, South Africa were analysed microscopically The data supported the known biases for using scats as prey-use indicators. The Kalahari data proved the reliability of the tracking technique used there by several researchers for prey-use studies. Aspects of leopard defecation discussed include the spacing and timing of defecations, and the infrequent use of scrapes to cover faeces. |
