Two camera trapping surveys in the Ahaggar massif revealed that cheetahs in this area exhibit several behavioral adaptations to this harsh climate: they are predominantly nocturnal and active between sunset and early mornings; they travel larger distances and occur at a lower density than cheetahs living in savannas.
Camera trapping studies conducted in the Ahaggar massif indicated that cheetahs exhibit specific behavioral changes to adapt to this harsh climate: they are predominantly nocturnal, active from sunset until early mornings; they travel longer distances and have a lower population density compared to cheetahs found in savannas.
