Camera-trapping. — To help complement the aforementioned methods, and aiming at collecting additional Pancake tortoise ecological information non-invasively and especially at odd hours, four E1C EREAGLE (7.45mm Lens) trail camera traps were deployed close to the rock crevice entrances at station 1, 2, 3, and 5. The cameras were set at video mode so as to collect tortoise behavior and movement near the crevices.
