二名法 Capreolus capreolus(Linnaeus, 1758) 西方狍之分佈範圍 亚种 见内文 西方狍(英语:western roe deer,學名:Capreolus capreolus),又稱歐洲狍(European roe deer),是分布于欧洲、小亚细亚和里海附近的鹿。此狍遍布欧洲各地,除斯堪的纳维亚极冷的最北部的一些岛屿,如冰岛和爱尔兰岛。在地中海沿岸地区,西方狍主要生活在山地,在平原或岛屿中很少见到。 此鹿与东方狍(Capreolus pygargus)同為狍屬,為不同物種,居住在不同地区。东方狍分布于乌拉尔山东边,直到西伯利亚和中国。这两个物种的分布区在高加索山脉碰头,西方狍分布在山脉南边,东方狍分布在山脉北边。 目录 1 形態 2 棲息及饮食 3 繁殖 4 亚种 5 文艺 6 參見條目 7 參考文獻 8 外部連結 形態 西方狍是一种小鹿,体长仅为95-135公分,肩部65-75公分高,体重15-30公斤。 灰色面,体色泛红,夏天是红金色,冬天加深到棕色甚至黑色。腹部颜色较浅,靠近尾部有一丛白毛。雌狍的尾部毛是心形,雄狍则是肾形。真正的尾巴极短,仅有2-3公分,几乎看不见。受惊时,它们会放声大叫,并扬起尾部白毛。 只有雄狍有角,短而直,第一两年角不分支,只到5-12公分。高龄健康的雄狍的角可达20-25公分,两到三个分支,偶尔也能长出四个分支。和其它鹿不同,狍属动物的角掉了之后马上开始重长。 棲息及饮食 东欧的西方狍,四五月份 西方狍最爱傍晚时活动。主要出入在森林,但也可能到草地或树木稀疏的林区寻食。 主食草、树叶、莓果和嫩枝,尤其喜欢下雨之后吃水分高的嫩草。西方狍分布区演变很快。新石器时代,人类开始从事农业,伐木造田,当时有大量西方狍到这些新草地寻食。[2]. 繁殖 幼狍,2-3星期 一般來說,西方狍在野外生存最長的壽命為十年。除交配期间之外,一般独来独往。 夏季开始时,雄性开始为占据领域相互争斗。入秋之后,领域确定,雄性用各种方法吸引多个雌性,可能高声尖叫,也可能用角把落叶和泥土推开。雌狍靠近以后,雄狍马上追逐,在一个区域绕圈跑“8”字形,转弯时经常压倒矮小的灌木,行踪显眼,被当地人称为“狍圈”。 雌狍孕期为十个月,是鹿中最长的。一般生一雌一雄的双胞胎。幼狍背上有白斑,藏在高草地里,母亲每天多次哺乳,直至三个月左右断奶,幼狍会跟随母亲走出寻食。如果雌狍在幼狍附近发现其它动物或人的踪迹味道,便会抛弃幼狍,不再回到这个巢。 雌狍的性成熟年龄一般为16个月。 亚种 按照遗传基因资料,西方狍可分为以下亚种[1]: C. c. italicus (Festa, 1925),分布于意大利中南部。此亚种分布区狭窄,估计在2002年只有1万只。另外C. c. capreolus活动范围扩大,从意大利北部南下,两个亚种可能会杂交,致使这个亚
