Description
Bishnu Prasad Shrestha and co-authors study daily rhythms of tigers and their prey in Nepal's Bardia National Park during 2026. The park holds an unusually dense tiger population, and the team wanted to know whether deer species can avoid the predator simply by being active at different hours.
Fifty camera traps recorded wildlife from May 2019 to April 2024 across a regular grid. Tigers stayed active around the clock, while prey species split between daytime, twilight, and mixed patterns. Most animals rested during the fiercest heat, and overlap with tiger hours remained substantial for every deer species. Seasonal shifts appeared in prey but not in tigers.
