Abstract
A sample of midden contents found in a sink hole on Unguja, Zanzibar were dominated by Crocidura and Mastomys (probably natalensis) and were likely the remains following predation. I suggest that future studies of these middens in the numerous sink holes found throughout Unguja include camera traps which have the potential to greatly expand our understanding of predator–prey relations on this island.
