Results
In this study’s analyses, we used 102 camera traps for 3,268
trap-nights. We captured 154 events of leopards, 414 of wild boar
(Sus scrofa ), 942 of roe deer (Capreolus pygargus ) and
1,751 of Tolai hare (Lepus tolai ). The RAI for North China
leopards in the summer (1.13) was lower than in winter (3.58), a
phenomenon observed in all four species. Moreover, among the three main
prey species, the RAI was highest for Tolai hare in both seasons (Table
2).
