Sampling comments: "We mounted 25 [35-mm DeerCam 200] camera-trap units... along survey circuits, aiming for approximately 5-km spacing between traps. We placed single camera-trap units at locations showing large carnivore use, or at otherwise promising landscape features that appeared to attract potential lion prey... We lost 1 unit each to spotted hyenas and a technical failure, whereas the remaining 23 units operated reliably"
