Similarly, tracks of Sumatran rhinos were recorded at all the sites although they were never photographed. Thus it is concluded that the presence of medium to large-sized terrestrial mammals were equally represented in the 3 samples. Tiger density and prey biomass. Estimates of both tiger density...
