Declarations
:
: We declare no competing interests.
: Two important categories of ethical considerations were addressed in our work. First, no humans appeared in the videos, and all participants were faculty, students, or employees of the Mpala Research Centre. Second, our research was conducted under the authority of a Nacosti Research License (No. NACOSTI/P/22/18214). This license confirms our adherence to the regulations in place and allows us to collect drone footage of animals in their natural habitats. We followed a data collection protocol that strictly complies with the guidelines set forth by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (No. IACUC 1835F). These guidelines are designed to ensure the ethical and humane treatment of animals involved in research activities. We also followed the guidelines laid out in []. One particular instance of this is that we consistently approached the animals from downwind, allowing the noise to dissipate before reaching the animals.
