海南岛南湾半岛猕猴的活动习性

对海南岛南湾半岛野生猕猴种群的活动习性的观察表明,猕猴在日间大部分时间处于活动和觅食状态;上午7点至10点、下午3点至5点为两个活动觅食高峰。每天的活动路径约为1000～2300米,雨天其活动路径短些。有时一群猴子分成两个亚群觅食。每群猴子有几个稳定的夜宿点,猴群可在一个夜宿点住一晚或连续几晚。猴群为了防止同类的侵犯和天敌对其后代的威胁,通常有几种活动阵容。经过5年或者6年的生长后,猴群变大并逐步分成两个新群体。

ACTIVITY HABITS OF RHESUS MONKEYS AT NANWAN PENINSULA OF HAINAN ISLAND

The activity habits of the rhesus monkey at Nanwan Peninsula of Hainan Island were observed from 1981 to 1985. The macaques spent most of their activities in daytime in feeding and moving which peaked from 7:00 a.m.to 10:00 a.m.and from 3:00 p.m.to 5:00 P.M.Foraging routes ranged from 1000 to 2300 M per day,but in rainy days foraging routes were shorter.Sometimes the group separated into two sub-groups to search for foods.Each group had some fixed roosting sites.The group might roost on the same site for one night or several nightes in succession.A group of the animal acted in various line up for preventing infringment of the same kind and menace of the natural enemy. After growing for five or six years, the group could be big enough to separate into two new groups.
