We would like to express our profound gratitude to Amy Montanje, Sam Boerlijst, Iris Noordermeer, Dionne Jacobs, Megan Verhagen, Josine Meijer, Mateo Bal, Gert‐Jan Goeminne, and Kennedy Ole Kariuki for their help with data collection in the field and the laboratory of KWS and Leiden University. Of extremely great help were our skillful drivers Julius Saiyianka Kiooi Shonko, Michael Letaloi, and Kasaine Sompet without whom no data could have been collected. We would like to thank the Senior Warden K. Nashuu and senior scientist C. Mwinzi of KWS Amboseli NP for receiving us and letting us use the staff compound and aiding us with our research during our stay. Special thanks go to Alice Bett and Catherine Wambani of KWS for their guidance and cooperation in the fieldwork in Lake Nakuru National Park. We also want to thank the local scientist in Meru National Park, Geoffrey Bundotich, for helping with the data collection and letting us stay in his house during our fieldwork, and Peter Gitonga Njeru and Meshak K. for being our guides in Meru National Park. This study was funded by the Ecology Fund of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Geographic Society (grant number EC‐51438R‐18) to Kevin Groen.
