Abstract

To quantify the behavior of 23 captive-bred female alpine musk deer(Moschus sifanicus) in the non-mating season(fromAugust to October)and the mating season(from November to January), and to record the behaviorfrequency of 12 behavior patterns, such as standing-gazing and moving, an integrated method of focal sampling, scanning sampling, and all occurrence recording were used on a musk deer farm in the Xinglongshan National Nature Reserve of Gansu Province, China. The results show that there are behavioral differences between mating season and nonmating season,which caused by the different reproduction strategies and energy budgetwhen female musk deer enter the estrous season. The female musk deer in the mating season significantly had more standing-gazing surrounding-exploring conflict behavior and moving but stately had less ingestion, rumination and intimate behavior.[Ch, 2 fig. 1 tab. 23 ref.]
