- Abstract
The article presents a study on the dry-season states for water holes of African elephants in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe. The study uses dynamic multistate site occupancy models for the transition probabilities of water holes in three states such as unsuitable state, suitable state with low abundance of elephants, and suitable state with high abundance of elephants. The study shows that transition probabilities in three states were influenced by annual rainfall and neighboring water holes.
