计步器在圈养幼龄孟加拉虎部分运动指标检测上的应用

The Application of Pedometer in Detecting Partial Movement Index of Captive Young Bengal Tiger

2016年4~6月,用计步器对长沙生态动物园饲养的4只幼龄孟加拉虎运动指标进行检测,与利用监控录像采用全事件取样法和目标动物取样法记录的幼龄孟加拉虎运动指标相比较。结果显示:在98~104日龄间,计步器和闭路电视记录的运动步数(P=0.841)、运动时间(P=0.362)、运动距离(P=0.215)皆没有显著性差异。结论:计步器可用于检测幼龄孟加拉虎的部分运动指标。

We used pedometer to record young bengal tiger movement data, and compared with da- ta recorded using closed-circuit television and full event sampling method and target animal sampling methods. For tigers aged 98 to 104 days, the two methods yielded similar results in terms of num- bers of steps （ P = 0. 841 ）, duration of exercise （ P = 0. 362 ）, and distance of movement （ P = 0. 215）. Pedometers thus proved useful as tools to record young bengal tiger movement data.
