Abstract

Using remote-sensing camera traps, we assessed if large fallen trees serve as natural bridges facilitating the movement of mammals between river banks. We recorded 12 species of mammals using fallen trees to cross rivers. Additionally, the use of fallen trees was more pronounced during the rainy than the dry season.
