Today's guest blogger is Lucy Hughes, an undergraduate working with us since "Serengeti Live" (Snapshot's predecessor). Lucy lived and worked on a private nature reserve in South Africa for four years, carrying out field research that included a camera-trap study into the reserve’s leopard population and twice monthly bird surveys for Cape Town University’s Birds in Reserves Project (BIRP).
The purpose of my study on this relatively small reserve was to try and identify how many leopards were using it as part of their home range.
Could this be evidence of a baboon funeral? Very interesting behavior. So far in my volunteer efforts for Snapshot Serengetti I have not run across any carcasses.
