人工饲养马来穿山甲(Manis javanica)全球首例繁殖报道（英文）

The First Birth and Survival of Cub in Captivity of Critically Endangered Malayan Pangolin(Manis javanica)

重庆师范大学生命科学学院穿山甲饲养繁殖科研基地人工饲养的两只成年马来穿山甲(Manis javanica)于2015年2月3日成功交配,并于2015年4月8日顺利产下一只健康的幼崽。目前两只成体穿山甲与幼崽健康状况都比较良好,且通过体重等指标的测量表明胎儿正健康成长。这是全世界第一例人工饲养马来穿山甲成功繁殖出健康幼崽的报道。证明马来穿山甲在恰当人工饲养条件下可以繁殖;且为其他几种穿山甲的人工饲养繁殖提供宝贵的借鉴资料;为穿山甲的野生种群数量的增长、恢复和物种保护提供有效的途径;确定了马来穿山甲的繁殖参数。

Two adult captive Malayan pangolin （Manis javanica） successfully mated on February 3, 2015, and gave birth to one healthy cub on April 8 in Pangolin＇s Breeding Center of College of Life Sciences, Chongqing Normal University. Current- ly, the two adults and the cub are in good state of health, and especially the cub is healthily growing according to its weight and other health indicators. This is the first birth and survival of cub of Malayan pangolins in captivity. It proves that Malayan pangolin can successfully breed in appropriate captivity conditions and the reproductive parameters of Malayan pangolin are also determined, which provide valuable reference for other species of pangolins in artificial breeding, and also give effective way for population growth, ecological restoration and species conservation for pangolin in the wild.
