摘要: 马来穿山甲(Manis javanica)为极度濒危物种,已报导该物种的怀孕期长度差异较大,需要更多的直接观察案例来确定其怀孕期长短。广西林业科学研究院穿山甲人工救护与繁育基地通过室内圈养方式驯养穿山甲,记录了14例马来穿山甲产仔情况:其中圈养前野外受孕、场内产仔9例;野外受孕、圈养死亡的母体1例;不确定受孕情况母兽产仔1例;圈养条件下交配怀孕并产仔3例,其中2例是母兽进场后第2次产仔。根据初步观察结果,估计马来穿山甲孕期为56个月。

摘要: 根据鳞甲、毛发、爪的磨损程度以及母幼行为关系和体重大小,对2011年6月查获的87头马来穿山甲(Manis javanica)种群结构进行了分析,幼年、亚成年、成年、老年组的比例和个体数分别为3.45%(3头)、25.29%(22头)、36.78%(32头)和34.48%(27头)。年龄结构呈倒金字塔型,属快速下降型种群。种群性比(♀︰♂)为1︰1.42(36︰51),雌性个体少。在各年龄组中,成年组雌性比例最小(28.13%)。每胎1仔,体重最小的孕兽只有1.95 kg,为亚成年个体。雌兽群体怀孕率为36.10%,成年雌兽的怀孕率最高(77.78%)。6只新生仔兽体重(143.3±6.67)g(120170 g)、体长(14.7±0.29)cm(14.815.4 cm)、尾长(10.1±0.24)cm(9.511.2 cm)。该马来穿山甲种群结构的状况,可能预示野生种群已处于较为严重的不健康状态。

摘要: There are 7 species of pangolin in the world. This paper dealt with the measurement of some morphology indices in Manis petadactyla and Manis javanica. Measured variables included the body weight, the total body length, the length of head and body, the length of tail, the length of protruding rim of external ear, the length of hind feet, the length of middle claws of fore feet, the length of middle claws of hind feet, the number of rows of scales round mid-body, the number of single flank scales of edge tail. All variables measured were compared respectively between this 2 species. The results indicated that: (1) there were no significant differences in body weight and length of hind feet between this 2 species, but differences in the other variables were extremely significant. (2) The ratio of the length of middle claws of hind feet and fore feet in Manis pentadactyla was less than 1/2 (n=48), while Manis javanica was more than 1/2 (n=15); the length of protruding rim of external ear in Manis pentadactyla was over 10 mm (n=38), whereas Manis javanica was under 10 mm (n=13); the number of single flank scales of edge tail in Manis pentadactyla was not beyond 21 (n=65), and Manis javanica exceeded 21 (n=14). So the ratio of the length of middle claws of hind feet and fore feet, the length of protruding rim of external ear, and the number of single flank scales of edge tail should be regard as distinctive features and taxonomic indices between this 2 species. (3) The relationships between body weight (Y) and the total body length, the length of head and body, the length of tail (X) were positive correlation, and satisfied relation equation Y=aX~b.

摘要: 全球共有7种穿山甲。本文报道的是中国穿山甲和马来穿山甲的头骨形态学资料,涉及头骨特征描述和一些形态学指标测定。被测定的指标主要有颅全长、基底长、腭长、眶间宽、后头宽、鼻骨长、鼻骨宽、脑颅高、听泡长和下颌长,并且在这两个物种之间进行了比较。结果表明,(1)这两个物种头骨形态十分相似,但马来穿山甲头骨细长,听泡长小于10mm(n=12),鼻骨狭长,前后部宽窄相似,两鼻骨外侧缘内凹或平行,鼻骨宽长之比值小于0 3000(0 2025～0 2811,n=12);而中国穿山甲头骨较粗短,听泡长大于11mm(n=46),鼻骨宽短,后部较前端宽,外侧缘外凸,鼻骨宽长之比值大于0 3000(0 3154～0 5325,n=33)。这些异同之处,可以作为区分这两个物种的依据。(2)中国穿山甲华南亚种与海南亚种头骨各变量之间的差异不显著(P>0 05),用颅全长是否大于83mm来区分这两个亚种不能成立,但海南亚种头骨上颌骨的颧突和鳞骨的颧突通常越过眶颞窝完全相接触,如果不是这样,则在它们之间有一个小的骨质棒状结构将它们连接起来。
