my country's first image of Southern Tibet subspecies of Horned pheasant in the wild |
On July 28, the reporter learned from the Institute of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Chinese Academy of Sciences, that with the support of the Forestry and Grassland Bureau of Medog County, the researchers of the institute photographed wild pheasant birds during a field investigation in Beibeng Township, Medog County, Tibet Autonomous Region1 Only
.
After scientific identification by experts from the Tibet Autonomous Region Forestry Investigation and Planning Research Institute and other units, it was confirmed as an adult male bird of the southern Tibetan subspecies of the sacred pheasant
According to reports, Gray-bellied Horned Pheasant is a national first-level protected wild animal, which is very rare in the wild
.
In 1914, British ornithologist Baker named the Southern Tibet subspecies of Crested pheasant based on specimens collected in Tawang area of Tibet.
When the researchers discovered the bird, its surrounding wild environment was a subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest with dense understory vegetation
.
The bird’s forehead, head, ear feathers, and neck are connected with banded black patches.
Gray-bellied scorpion pheasant belongs to the genus Galliformes, the pheasant family, and its habitat is 600-2800 meters above sea level.
It is active in the warm and humid subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest or coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest virgin forest, often in pairs or clusters Group activities, feeding on green leaves, berries, seeds and insects
.
It is distributed abroad in eastern Bhutan, Myanmar and Assam, India, and domestically in northwestern Yunnan and southeast Tibet
There are two subspecies of C.
griseus.
The named subspecies have a lighter body color and a wider upper breast red.
They are only distributed in the mountainous areas of northwestern Yunnan in China.
The southern Tibet subspecies have a darker body color and a narrow upper breast red.
In China, it is mainly distributed in southeastern Tibet
.
Currently, there are very limited studies on the ecology and subspecies classification of this species.
Medog County is located in the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon Water Vapor Channel.
The warm and humid Indian Ocean flows north along this channel, bringing abundant precipitation and heat.
The Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon region with Medog as the core has formed a rich primitive Forests provide a diverse habitat for wildlife
.
Crested scorpionfish has high requirements for the authenticity of the habitat.
The research on sacred pheasant in Metuo area has important value in conservation biology and ecology
.
Researchers suggest that the population survey, habitat protection, and related ecological research work of Medog County and its surrounding areas should be further strengthened to grasp the distribution range, habitat types, ecological habits and population numbers of the scorpionfish.
