滇金丝猴及其食性

Rhinopithecus bieti and It’s Feeding Habits

滇金丝猴又名黑白仰鼻猴,是国家一级保护动物,现仅存1500-1700只,应加大保护力度。目前,多数学者认为滇金丝猴地衣类植物松萝的取食占所有食物的90%,但由于滇金丝猴居住区域海拔和植被的变化,以及滇金丝猴的生理特征,其食物范围应更广。

Rhinopithecus biet can be named white-black snub-nosed monkey and Yunnan nub-nosed monkey , being the most endangered animal endemic to China, the total population of the species is only 1500-1700 individuals. We should increase conservationstrength. At present , most of scholars think that the main food of Rhinopithecus biet is the lichen, an epiphyte on firand other alpine trees, and 91% of its feeding time is spent on the lichen. As a result of thechange of the elevation and vegetation in the habitat of Rhinopithecus bieti, and of its physiology character, the range of its food should be more extensive.
