Loxodonta africana
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Addo Elephant National Park, aggregated onto a 10 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.
Records exist for January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December, with the widest coverage in June and August. A quiet month can mean the animal was absent, or that nobody was looking.
A grid cell is a square of the map, not a sighting: 45 squares of 10 km carry records for African Elephant in and around Addo Elephant National Park, and the 305 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.
The desert elephants of the Kunene are not a separate species, and that is the remarkable part. They are ordinary African elephants that have learned to live where less rain falls in a year than on London in a single April.
Never block a movement corridor between water and cover.
