Sampling comments: "The study was carried out for four months (1 January-30 April 2019) by using nine automatically triggered camera traps (Cuddeback and Moultrie, USA). The area was first divided into square shaped 1km2 grids" with "one camera trap in each grid for a minimum of 25 days... we could only sample nine grids at a time... Each photo was rated as an independent capture, if the time between consecutive photographs of the same subject was more than 30 minutes apart... effort resulted in 771.31 trap days"
cattle and water buffalo count is 141 photos, undifferentiated, but RAIs of 15.81 and 2.46 are reported, so the separate counts are 122 and 19
