A total of 497 different resting si

A total of 497 different resting sites were used by the 21 genets
tracked during 28 months. Most sites (82.7%) were used by a single
individual (not shared), while the others were shared by 2 or 3
individuals. Simultaneous use of the same rest-site by two individuals
occurred rarely (0.56% out of 3334 daily locations) and involved
a small proportion of the rest-sites (2.8%). The
simultaneous use of resting sites occurred among the following
pairs: adult male/adult female, adult female/sub-adult male, adult
male/sub-adult male, and two sub-adults male/female. Individuals
used from 12 to 45 different resting sites, corresponding to an
average (±SE) of 28.2 ± 2.3 rest-sites per individual. Resting sites
reuse (percentage of resting sites used more than once by an animal)
occurred quite often, both in wet (63.9% ± 2.8) and dry
(54.7% ± 2.9) seasons. Reuse of rest-sites occurred predominately
in tree hollows (60.9%), followed by nests (22.6%) and dens (16.5%).
