Attending a talk at Science Cafe, Cape Town, on the Urban Caracal project.

[Science Cafe CT @SciCafeCT]

Are caracals being exposed to eat poisons? Have found some evidence in caracals & genets #scicafeCT

[Science Cafe CT @SciCafeCT]

Principle threat is cats being hit by cars. Have collected 10 roadkill caracals during study #scicafeCT

[Science Cafe CT @SciCafeCT]

Ideally need to have wildlife highway to connect different populations #scicafeCT

[Science Cafe CT @SciCafeCT]

Conservation challenges - high density urban areas, vineyards, golf courses, fire. #scicafeCT

[Science Cafe CT @SciCafeCT]

Majority of kill sites are within 100 m of urban areas. #scicafeCT

[Science Cafe CT @SciCafeCT]

Road crossing most active at sunrise and sunset - times when people are commuting #scicafeCT

[Science Cafe CT @SciCafeCT]

Caracals crossing major roads (like Kloof nek) multiple times, often in same place - potential to manage their safety #scicafeCT

[Science Cafe CT @SciCafeCT]

250 km2 of peninsula - caracals roam through 150 km2. Adults on average about 600 m from roads, juveniles even closer #scicafeCT

[Science Cafe CT @SciCafeCT]

Oryx, adult male, roams widely across peninsula. Numerous cars roam below kings blockhouse #scicafeCT

[Science Cafe CT @SciCafeCT]

Caracals roam right up against developed areas in southern suburbs, sticking to bush. #scicafeCT

[Science Cafe CT @SciCafeCT]

Laurel is showing us data on collared caracals in cape peninsula. Collecting immense amount of data on how cats using landscape #scicafeCT

[Science Cafe CT @SciCafeCT]

Cape peninsula island of wildlife habitat in sea of dense urbanization. Separate from healthy populations in boland mtns #scicafeCT
