Abstract

A study on the activity pattern of Tapir (Tapirus indicus) was carried out in Temengor Forest Reserve Perak using camera trapping technique. A total of 11 camera traps were deployed and 318 photographs of tapir from 2813 trap nights were captured. The percentage ratio of the tapir captured per unit sampling effort was 0.113. The analysis of the photos showed that tapir wire active early morning (00:00 to 11:00) and 18:00 hr to 23:00 hr in the afternoon. The highest percentage of tapir's activity pattern noted in this study is between 05:00 hr to 20:00 hr while the minimum record of the activity pattern was at 16:00 hr to 18:00 hr.
