The average Pancake tortoise count in each of the 12 stations over the sampling period covering 162 days across different seasons shows a fairly constant number consistent with the number of tortoises initially present in the stations (Table 3). This is supported by a single factor Analysis of variance (ANOVA) test that showed no statistically significant difference between the number of tortoises initially present in the crevices with the average number present over 160 sampling days, F(1,22) = 0.0699, P >0.05, (table 4).
