The Waterhole species list (1 of 5)

The Waterhole production team worked with biologists and Tanzanian wildlife guides to track animals as they came to drink, forage, hunt and play at the new waterhole. Using fixed rig cameras ensured the area could be observed with minimal disturbance and over a period of 6 months 105 species were logged and verified, including 26 different mammals.

The cameras also allowed the team to record surprising data on animal behaviour; despite early predictions that a herbivore would be the most frequent user of the new water source, hyena came to the waterhole more than any other species clocking up over 121 separate visits.
