Golden Tiger, is a mammal Carnivora cat leopard animals, distributed in India and other places. Golden tiger is a carnivorous cat, Bengal tiger golden yellow variety, body golden yellow, black stripes, wild has been extinct, the number is more rare than snow tiger. Rare animals in the world.

sign

The hair is short, with the exception of the tail and the inner side of the limbs with light brown and yellow stripes. the back is yellowish brown, the two ribs are slightly pale, and the abdomen is gray white. The horizontal lines of tiger body are slender and clear, the horizontal lines of back and abdomen are black, and the horizontal lines of two ribs are brown.

Living and living

Bengal tigers are mainly distributed in Bangladesh, India, Myanmar and other countries. It is also distributed in the humid and warm dense forest areas of Yunnan and Tibet in China. It is second only to the Amur tiger in China and is a national first-class protected wildlife. it has been found that there are at least 8-12 Bengal tigers living in the primeval forest of Motuo, among which 7 live all the year round. There are about 20 Bengal tigers in Tibet. But Comrade Zhu Feng, the leader of Motuo County, said after a long-term investigation: "judging from the number of wild Bengal tigers injuring livestock in recent years, there are about 40 Bengal tigers living in Motuo, and they eat nearly 300 farm cattle every year." Whether it's 12 or 40, it's certain that Moto is the largest settlement of Bengal tigers in China. Motuo is located in the southeast of Tibet, in the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River Valley, is a subtropical humid climate zone on the eastern side of the Himalayas, covering an area of more than 30000 square kilometers, with an average altitude of 1200 meters. The world natural heritage "Yarlung Zangbo waterfall" is located in Motuo. In Motuo, there are 42 kinds of wild animals and more than 1000 kinds of insects under the state key protection, so it is known as "wildlife paradise".

habit

Similar to the common tiger, the breeding and behavior of Bengal tiger were studied under the severe cold conditions in the north, and the differences of behavior were compared. The Bengal tiger has basically adapted to the climate in the high latitude and cold zone, and can be semi scattered outdoors all year round. The results show that the behavior patterns of Bengal tiger in captivity have strong regularity. Among them, sleeping behavior is the main behavior type of Bengal tiger in captivity, followed by exercise and resting behavior, and feeding and other behaviors are the least. from October 2012 to September 2013, the behavior of albino Bengal tigers in breeding season was studied by instantaneous scanning method and whole event observation method in Yunnan wildlife park. The results showed that: there was no significant difference in behavior time allocation between male and female albino Bengal tigers during estrus mating period (P > 0.05), and both of them spent more time on rest and exercise; during pregnancy, female albino Bengal tigers spent more time on rest and exercise, and less time on eating, sleeping and other behaviors, There were significant differences among different individuals in the same behavior (P < 0.01); during the litter period, females spent more time on litter and licking, followed by rest; during the lactation period, females spent more time on rest, followed by lactation and exercise. The results of one-way ANOVA showed that there were significant differences in resting behavior at different stages of reproductive period (P < 0.01), but no significant differences in sleep, exercise and other behaviors (P > 0.05).

From December 2005 to August 2006, the behavior of five Bengal tigers in Yunnan wildlife park was observed by instantaneous scanning sampling and whole event sampling. The results showed that during the observation period, there was a certain difference in the time allocation of daytime behavior between males and females, that is, the sleep and rest of females were more than that of males; the walking and other behaviors of females were less than that of males. In terms of activity rhythm, there was a great similarity between the two sexes, except that the peak value of lying and resting in the afternoon of female tiger was about 1 hour later than that of male tiger. Objective to establish an effective method for isolation of actinomycetes from animal feces and understand the diversity of actinomycetes from Bengal tiger feces. Considering the pretreatment, inhibitor and medium, the plate dilution method was used. 16S rRNA genes of actinomycetes were amplified by universal primers and identified by phylogenetic analysis. In the feces of Bengal tiger, the average number of culturable actinomycetes was 1.10 × 108 CFU / g (wet weight of feces); partial sequence analysis of 16S rRNA gene of 110 isolated pure cultured actinomycetes showed that they were distributed in 10 families and 12 genera, mainly some Actinomycetes with low degree of hyphal differentiation, such as Arthrobacter, Dietzia, Kocuria, Corynebacterium, Microbacterium, etc; Streptomyces was the dominant actinomycetes, accounting for 64% of the total actinomycetes. The results showed that dry heat treatment of fecal samples can greatly improve the rate of actinomycetes; the combination medium with a variety of inhibitors and without natural ingredients is more suitable for the isolation of fecal actinomycetes; the diversity of culturable actinomycetes in Bengal tiger feces is rich. This study provides an effective method to isolate actinomycetes from animal feces, which provides a reference for the research, development and utilization of Actinomycetes Resources in animal feces.
