Steenbok in Central Kalahari Game Reserve

Raphicerus campestris

Chance of an encounter
Likely

Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Central Kalahari Game Reserve, aggregated onto a 25 km grid. A cell is matched by its centre, which can sit up to 16 km outside the boundary, so this covers the surrounding country too.

Occurrence records measure where people looked and found something, which is not the same as where the animal is. This is a relative likelihood, not a probability.

A grid cell is a square of the map, not a sighting: 3 squares of 25 km carry records for Steenbok in and around Central Kalahari Game Reserve, and the 1 records behind them were collected by other people and published openly. Nothing here counts animals, and a place with more records is not always a place with more animals.
