Summary
Description
Sambar deer Cervus unicolor and feral hogs Sus scrofs coninhabit St. Vincent Island, Florida. Rumen samples were analyzed to assess the dietary overlap of the two species. Little competition for forage exists between these sympatric populations in the fall season. The refuge manager, adding this information to his or her body of knowledge, can better manage these two species.
