4.1.6 Comparison of species observed during summer and winter
Number of animals recorded during summer and winter surveys are merely rough
estimates and not the actual populations (shown in Table 30 to 34). The last
column in the following tables showing total animals is not reflecting the total
population of different species at different sites. Rather it is just the sum of
observed animals during summer and winter and the animals observed during
summer might be the same counted or observed during in winter. However, some
populations of all the existing species at the four sites were estimated
scientifically and are discussed later on in the chapter.
