(2024, December 23). Individual leopards can be identified by their roars. ScienceDaily. Retrieved from <a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/12/241223135204.htm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/12/241223135204.htm</a> A recent study has revealed that<a href="https://palmoildetectives.com/tag/margay-leopardus-wiedii/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> leopards</a> can be individually identified by their unique roars, achieving an accuracy rate of 93%. This breakthrough offers a novel method for monitoring these solitary and nocturnal creatures, which are often challenging to study due to their elusive nature.Conducted across a 450 km² area in Nyerere National Park, <a href="https://palmoildetectives.com/tag/tanzania/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Tanzania</a>, researchers employed a combination of camera traps and autonomous recording devices to capture both visual and auditory data. By analysing the temporal patterns of the leopards’ “sawing” roars—a series of low-frequency sounds used for communication—the team successfully distinguished individual animals.Lead author Jonathan Growcott, a PhD student at the University of Exeter, emphasised the significance of this discovery: “Discovering that leopards have unique roars is an important but fundamentally quite basic finding that shows how little we know about leopards, and <a href="https://palmoildetectives.com/2024/08/25/research-wild-cat-carnivores-in-borneo-may-adjust-their-schedules-to-avoid-each-other/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">large carnivores</a> in general.”This advancement in bioacoustic monitoring presents a non-invasive approach to studying leopard populations, facilitating more accurate population estimates and aiding in conservation efforts. Given that leopards are classified as ‘<a href="https://palmoildetectives.com/tag/vulnerable-species/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">vulnerable’ by the IUCN Red List</a> due to habitat loss and <a href="https://palmoildetectives.com/tag/poaching/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">human-wildlife conflict</a>, such innovative monitoring techniques are crucial for their preservation.The study also highlights the potential of integrating multiple technologies to gather comprehensive data on wildlife, enhancing our understanding of ecosystems and informing effective conservation strategies.<a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/12/241223135204.htm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Learn more on Science Daily</a>.

Share these to social media along with the hashtags to call out the greenwashing and ecocide of the brands who use palm oil. You can also take photos of palm oil free products and congratulate brands when they go palm oil free. <a href="https://twitter.com/CuriousApe4/status/1526136783557529600?s=20" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/CuriousApe4/status/1526136783557529600?s=20</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PhillDixon1/status/1749010345555788144?s=20" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/PhillDixon1/status/1749010345555788144?s=20</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/mugabe139/status/1678027567977078784?s=20" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/mugabe139/status/1678027567977078784?s=20</a> 4.
