In 198 videos (n roe deer = 242 from 162 videos; n moose = 42 from 33 videos), the animals were already in flight when first detected; thus a FID could not be calculated and these individuals were not used in analysis of FID. Furthermore, events at night or when the individuals were outside the railway corridor … WebFlight zone and flight distance are interchangeable and refer to the distance needed to keep an animal under the threshold that would trigger a startle response. A flight zone can be circumstantial, because a threat can vary in size (individually or in group number). Overall, this distance is the measure of an animal's willingness to take on risks.
