圈养野生双峰驼采食行为的初步研究

Feeding behavior of wild Bactrian camels in captivity was reported from three aspects including feeding grassed, drinking and ingesting salts. The results showed that the wild camels ingested grasses mainly in the daylight, occasionally they were seen feeding for some time after sunset. The feeding behavior was influenced not only by the kinds and qualities of grasses, but also by the season element and the physiological state of animals. The feeding frequency per hour was significant different between group individuals in different seasons.
