Population Density and Habitat Utilization of Ibex (Capra ibex) in Tomur National Nature Reserve, Xinjiang, China(in English)

  • Surveys was conducted to study the population density and habitat utilization of the ibex (Capra ibex) in Tomur National Nature Reserve during October-December 2005. The results are as follows: ① The mean group size of the ibex in Tomur Nature Reserve is 8.43 and the population density is 269.76/100 km2; ② The ibex prefer areas with steep slope (between 30°-45°), broken substrates and cliffs nearby (<100 m). They avoid grasslands and flat hillsides; ③ The probable reason for this habitat selection is self-protection.
