Diurnal Behaviors Time Budgets and Space Utilization of Captive Rhinopithecus roxellana in Winter

From December 2012 to February 2013,4 caged Sichuan golden monkeys( Rhinopithecus roxellana),activity time budgets and the the cage space occupancy rate were preliminary studied by shooting directly observed,instantaneous scan recording method. The results showed that: percentages of their daily time were resting 46. 27%,allgrooming 22. 20%,feeding 9. 73%,playing 6. 90%,Scrounging 5. 04%,moving 5. 76% and others 4. 10%. Resting activity showed two peaks,one was in the early morning( 8: 00-9: 00),and the other in the after noon. A feeding peak was observed around morning. Space utilization distribution included the ABCDE districts and A,C,D area occupancy rate was significantly higher than that of the zone B and E. A area was mainly used to rest,district B,C,D to play and move,district E to feed and rest.
