Camera trap use in the study of black-footed cats _(Felis nigripes)_
2018  African Journal of Ecology (56): 895-897

The use of camera traps as research tools for the study of black-footed cats at refuge entrances is detailed. This provided information on interspecific relationships with aardwolves. When operated with care they served to obtain ecological information on black-footed cats, including behavioural and reproductive data. Camera traps were also used to monitor the behaviour and welfare of recently anesthetised and recovered study individuals to keep further disturbances to a minimum.
