domestic goats in Serengeti

    I put this down as cattle as it was the only domestic animal on the list but they are actually domestic goats - either way they shouldn't be there & the relevant authorities need to know about such incursions

    Yes, you classified completely right! We classify all domestic animals (cattle, sheep, goat, donkey, dog) as 'Cattle'.

    Yes, they should not be in the park. But in this Extended Survey season some cameras are also outside the park, where their presence is allowed and on park's border , so we will see them.

    So in this season no need to get worried about their presence in some images, they can be part of the research outside the park.
    And it will be certainly noted if they are somewhere they should not be. It is though great that you care about these things 😃
