摘要
为恢复并提高笼养金钱豹的野性和兽性,使其不至于丧失在野外生存的能力,对广州动物园试验场的4只金钱豹进行了为期近2个月的采食过程行为观察。结果表明,笼养金钱豹的年龄越大,越常表现出一系列的刻板行为,这种行为在采食前表现更为突出。而采食活体动物能有效地减少刻板行为的发生,并提高其野性和兽性。
Behavior of four leopards in the research center of Guangzhou Zoological Garden before and after feeding was observed for two months.Results indicated that these leopards followed a rather fixed mode of acts to feeding, especially before feeding and this be- havior was more and more obvious with the increase of age, while the fixed mode of behavior was effectively reduced when fed with living animals.
