摘要
2007年3月27日～4月5日于安徽黄山浮溪,采用随机取样法对黄山短尾猴鱼鳞坑YA_2群一例成年雌猴照料死婴猴行为进行了观察研究。结果表明:雌猴对死婴猴的照料行为主要包括理毛行为、亲吻行为和携带行为等,且与其他雌猴照料正常婴猴无明显差异;此期间雌猴所表现的最明显特征为胆小;成年雄猴对死婴猴无照料行为。根据观察结果对婴猴死亡原因进行了初步探讨,为黄山猴的饲养管理提供了一些有价值的参考信息。
We used ad libitum sampling to study the behaviors of a captive adult Tibetan macaque（Macaca thibetana） caring for her dead infant in Fuxi,Anhui from March 27 to April 5,2007.Behaviors included grooming,sniffing and carrying. Behaviors were similar to those of other adult female macaques who nursed live infants.Only the female parent cared for the dead infant while the male parent did not participatein.We discuss the cause of death in light of the above observations and provide information to guide feeding management of captive Tibetan macaques.
