圈养条件下小熊猫指名亚种雨季的活动规律

2008年8⁹月,在姚家坪小熊猫繁育基地采用目标取样法和瞬时扫描取样法对19只圈养小熊猫指名亚种的活动规律进行了研究。结果表明:小熊猫雨季每天大部分时间用于休息(48%),其次是摄食(17%)和活动(14%),标记占10%,其他行为分配的时间较短。在行为节律上,休息行为所占比例最高,出现2个休息高峰,分别为10:009月,在姚家坪小熊猫繁育基地采用目标取样法和瞬时扫描取样法对19只圈养小熊猫指名亚种的活动规律进行了研究。结果表明:小熊猫雨季每天大部分时间用于休息(48%),其次是摄食(17%)和活动(14%),标记占10%,其他行为分配的时间较短。在行为节律上,休息行为所占比例最高,出现2个休息高峰,分别为10:00¹1:00、13:0011:00、13:00¹5:00时;活动行为在16:00和19:00时形成波峰;摄食有3个高峰,分别为9:00、11:00和20:00时,标记行为在9:00、16:00、19:00和20:00时出现频率较高;梳理行为只在17:0015:00时;活动行为在16:00和19:00时形成波峰;摄食有3个高峰,分别为9:00、11:00和20:00时,标记行为在9:00、16:00、19:00和20:00时出现频率较高;梳理行为只在17:00¹9:00时超过10%;其他行为所占比率较低。不同年龄组间小熊猫的行为时间分配有差异,老年在休息行为上明显高于幼年和成年,约占总行为的70%;幼年的活动行为高于成年及老年;成年的修饰及标记行为明显高于幼年和老年。

Activity Rhythm of Captive Red Panda in Rainy Seasons

Activity rhythm of 19 captive red pandas(Ailnrus fulgens) was investigated by target sampling and instantaneous scan sampling from August to September 2008,in Yaojiaping Red Panda Breeding Base,Yunnan,China.The results showed that captive red pandas spent most of their time in resting(48%),followed by feeding(17%),moving(14%),and marking(10%).Other activities accounted for lower percentages.Resting activity took a highest percentage of captive red pandas in survey periods.There were two concentration periods of resting: 10:00-11:00 hrs,13:00-15:00 hrs.Moving activity was recorded mainly at 16:00 hrs and 19:00 hrs.Feeding activity peaks occurred at three periods: 9:00 hrs,11:00 hrs and 20:00 hrs.Marking activity happened more frequently at the periods of 9:00 hrs,16:00 hrs,19:00 hrs and 20:00 hrs.Grooming activity occurred mainly at the periods of 17:00-19:00 hrs,accounting for lower percentage of less than 10% in other periods.There were significant differences in time budgets among red panda of different ages.The older individuals spent higher percentages of time in resting activity(70%),higher than that of adult and young individuals.The young individuals spent more time in moving activity than adults.Adults showed higher percentages in grooming and marking activities than older and young individuals.
