摘要: Abstract In March 2009, 23 dorcas gazelles (9 males and 14 females) were reintroduced in the Katane enclosure, a 440 ha fenced-in area North Ferlo Fauna Reserve (Senegal). gazelle live with other (the mohor scimitar-horned oryx) native ungulate species Red-fronted gazelle), as well mammals. Seven habitat types characterized enclosure. Habitat preference of was studied using presence abundance signs (tracks, latrines, fecal deposits) direct observations. Seasonal data collected along 6-km long transect The is significantly dependent on type enclosure they prefer open habitats (plateaus) to less visibility. This did not change according season number deposits increased proximity fence.
