繁殖期笼养孟加拉雌虎白昼行为的时间分配研究

目的]为成功饲养孟加拉虎积累经验。方法]2005年12月至2006年8月,采用瞬时扫描取样法和全事件取样法,对云南省野生动物园内繁殖期4号雌虎行为的时间分配进行了研究。结果]繁殖期不同阶段雌虎白昼行为时间分配存在明显差异。发情交配期孟加拉虎的卧息、走动和其他行为多于妊娠期,发情交配期孟加拉虎的睡眠少于妊娠期;哺乳期母虎哺乳所占时间最多,其次是走动和卧息,而睡眠、摄食及其他行为（包括饮水、排尿、排粪、修饰、嗅闻、站立等）最少。结论]繁殖期不同阶段孟加拉虎的各种行为均有所变化,而行为的变化与雌虎在繁殖期各阶段的特殊生理有关。

Study on the Daylight Time Distribution of Female Bengal Tiger in Captivity in Reproductive Period

Objective]The research aimed to provide experiences for successful breeding of Bengal Tiger.Method]The time distribution of behaviors of No.4 female Bengal tiger in reproductive period at Yunnan Wildlife Zoo was studied from December of 2005 to August of 2006 by using instantaneous scanning sampling method and all-occurrence recording method.Result]The daylight time distribution of behaviors of Bengal female tiger at different stages of reproductive period had obvious differences.Bengal female tiger during the mating season spent more time in resting,walking and other behaviors than that in gestation period.And Bengal female tiger during the mating season spent less time in sleeping than that in gestation period.The female tiger in the lactation period spent the most time in the suckling,more time in walking and resting,and less time in sleeping,eating,other behaviors(drinking,eliminating,grooming,sniffing,standing,etc.).Conclusion]All kinds of behaviors of Bengal tiger changed at different stages of reproductive period.And the changes of behavior was related with the specific physiological mechanism of female tiger in the reproductive period.
