The survival of the Sumatran tiger is closely linked to environmental resources, such as the availability of prey species like sambar deer and muntjac deer. This can be studied through their activity patterns, distribution, and interactions, which help monitor these priority species. The study examines the spatial and temporal activity patterns of sambar and muntjac deer. Camera trap data collected in 2022 were processed using RStudio and QGIS. The analysis revealed 55 independent events (IE) for sambar deer and 820 IE for muntjac deer. Spatially, overlaps between sambar and muntjac deer were found in five resorts: Resort Biha 2, Resort Ngambur 4, Resort Sukaraja Atas 4, Resort Suoh, and Resort Pemerihan, with one additional finding outside the national park. Temporally, Kernel density estimation yielded a Δ value of 0.75 (0.82-0.123). Sambar deer peaked in activity at 06:00 and 17:00-18:00, while muntjac deer peaked at 10:00-11:00 and 18:00, within a narrower time range.
