Sampling comments: "Twelve digital pre-baited active and passive remote camera traps (Bushnell TrailScout Pro 2.1mp), triggered by both heat and motion, were set from March 8, 2008 to May 24, 2009" and operated 24 hours a day; "bait consisted of butchery leftovers, apples, carrots and corn seeds. Sites chosen to install the cam- era traps were selected randomly to cover the whole reserve" which has an area of 6500 ha
