In a
new Ethology study, researchers examined information on two adjacent
giraffe populations in Kenya to determine whether human activities and high
predation affect their social networks.
One study
site was a premier tourist destination with a high volume of human activity in
the form of tourist traffic and lodges, alongside a high density of lions that
preferentially prey on giraffe calves. The other was a private wildlife
conservancy with minimal human activity and no lion population.
