Atlas of carnivores

A subset of the mammal atlas, the carnivore atlas builds on a long history of carnivore records in Namibia. Many of the historical records have been imported into this atlas.

As well as records of sightings of live animals, records of the presence of mammals from their tracks and signs can be submitted: spoor, kills, droppings etc. Records of dead mammals are also valid, e.g. road kill or prey records.
