摘要: 白唇鹿(Cervus albirostris)是中国特有珍贵资源动物。由于其生活在人迹罕至的高寒地区,故自1883年被分类记载以来,至今还未见有关此种兽类的详细研究报道。今就作者调查作一些补充报道。 白唇鹿分布于海拔3,500米以上的高山灌丛带,其活动上限可达5,100米甚至更高的高山裸岩带。在它们的分布区,虽然有高山峻岭连绵不断,但它们总是选择较平缓、稍开阔的地方活动、休息,在那些地势险峻、切割剧烈的悬岩绝壁区域,极少见到白唇鹿的踪迹。

Abstract: In the last ten years, the author has carried out many surveys on the white-lipped deer of Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau and its adjacent regions and has collected a wealth of data on this species. In 1984, another investigation had been carried out in one of the main native areas of this deer.These observations show that its distribution range lives between 92.5° to 120° east longitude,29.5° to 38.7° north latitude. This is a social animal, it breeds once a year and each female only gives birth to one young. The adults feed mainly on grasses and sedges.
