Abstract

The article discusses observations of leopard aggregation and interactions with Olive baboons in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. In this study, seven leopards were observed, and the vegetation is dominated by yellow fever trees and sausage trees. The study suggests that interguild killing might be an important factor affecting mortality rates of leopards compared with intraguild killing of competing carnivores.
