Table 2. The number of livestock attacks by cheetahs per 12′ aerial survey grid in the different percentage cheetah prey intervals, and the overall mean number of attacks per grid.
The number of attacks was consistently below the mean when the percentage cheetah prey biomass exceeded 20%. Livestock attacks occurred in the Kgalagadi and Ghanzi Agricultural Zones and the western strata of the Central Agricultural Zone between 1995 and 2005 (Klein, 2007).
