“…(2015), because slopes in the Maasai Mara are steeper (maximum slope = 44.45°) than those found in Mountain Zebra National Park. Studies on other carnivores in human‐dominated landscapes, including brown bear and Eurasian lynx, have shown that steep slopes are preferred as it provides a refuge from human disturbances (Basille, Calenge, Marboutin, Andersen, & Gaillard, 2008; Bouyer et al., 2015; Petram, Knauer, & Kaczensky, 2004). However, we found that cheetahs avoided steep slopes probably as it limits their hunting ability within our study area.…”
