| The lion (_Panthera leo_, Linn.) population of the eastern Selous Game Reserve | |
| 1974 East African Wildlife Journal (12): 313-317 | |
The Selous Game Reserve, of approximately 50 000 km2 of uninhabited country in southeast Tanzania has been utlized by tourist hunting safaris since 1964. Assuming an estimate of 150 for the lion population gives a density of close to 0.08 lion per km2, a figure which is low in comparison with published data from intensive studies of small areas, but comparable with density estimated from large areas. Sex ratio data for this area is unusual in the high proportion of adult male lions. |
