| Ten Years of Ecological Research on Lions in Waza National Park, Northern Cameroon | |
| 2008 Cat News (48): 29-32 | |
This paper covers 10 years of lion _Panthera leo_ research in Waza National Park in North Cameroon. Population surveys resulted in a population of 50-60 lions. Research covered movements and home ranges of lions, social structure, prey availability and lionlivestock conflicts. Natural prey abundance is low and level of livestock predation high, especially during the wet season. Lions survive during the wet season on a prey buffer of livestock, while they switch to natural prey during the dry season. |
