Good stuff!

Copy-paste the most interesting info in the forum. Like this:

Quote:We have analysed 78 scats in which 10 prey species were consumed by dhole. Brillouin diversity index
shows that analysed scat was adequate in our study area and it was stabilized at 55 th scat (Fig 2). Sambar was
representing 25 times followed by wild pig was 18 times and the lowest contribution was gaur (n=2) and
chital (n=2).

Ten prey species were consumed by dholes in which Sambar was consumed highest
percentage (30.77%) followed by wild pig (23.08%) and lowest was Jungle fowl (0.063%). In terms of biomass
contribution sambar was highest (78.70%) while jungle fowl was lowest contribution (3.85%).
