Pian-Upe Wildlife Reserve: biological and socio-economic survey 25 Carnivores Jackal spoor was recorded near Moruajore, which is too far from human habitation for it have been confused with the spoor of a domestic dog. Civet spoor was also recorded nearby, and a single white-tailed mongoose was observed at the ranger post. A single hyena was observed late at night at the ranger post: they were often heard calling at night, and their spoor was widely distributed (Fig. 3.3), with fresh tracks on the road almost every morning. Figure 3.3 Distribution of spotted hyena in Pian-Upe Wildlife Reserve Single servals were observed near Moruajore and near Chepsikunya, and wild cat spoor was recorded near Moruajore. Leopard spoor was recorded on the road and in riverine woodland near the Greek River, and a kill (a reedbuck) was found in a tree near Chepsikunya. Zebra Zebra spoor was recorded in grassland and riverine woodland near the Greek River. Hyrax Hyraxes were observed in the Napadet hills.

Pian-Upe Wildlife Reserve: biological and socio-economic survey 26 Aardvark Aardvark holes were widely distributed (Fig. 3.4) Figure 3.4 Distribution of aardvark in Pian-Upe Wildlife Reserve Pigs Warthog spoor was recorded in grassland and riverine woodland near the Greek River, with bushpig spoor in grassland and cultivated land south of the reserve in the CWA. Bovids A single topi was observed west of the Napadet army camp, and spoor was recorded in grassland around the Napadet hills and in cultivated land south of the reserve in the CWA, although it is possible that the spoor was that of hartebeest (Alcelaphus buselaphus). Buffalo spoor was recorded in grassland near the Nabukut hills and west of the Napadet army camp, as well as in riverine woodland near the Greek River and cultivated land south of the reserve in the CWA. On one occasion approximately ten eland were observed in grassland east of the Napadet hills, and on another a group of approximately 60 were observed in wooded grassland even further east, although spoor was recorded only a few times. On one occasion a single bushbuck was heard by rangers near the Greek River, but this was the only record of this species. Blue duiker were widely distributed (Fig. 3.5), and were often observed at close range when flushed. Common duiker were observed somewhat less frequently, but were also widespread (Fig. 3.5), and also often observed at close range.
