摘要: We investigated the food habits of Asiatic black bears (Ursus thibetanus) in Oze National Park, Japan, and analyzed abundance nutritional content skunk cabbage (Lysichiton camtschatcense) to evaluate quality moorland habitat for foraging bears. Analysis 141 scats collected from August 2005 September 2009 revealed that spadices were important items summer when other foods are scarce. Skunk is a valuable resource terms nutrition, predictability, quantity, availability, but it also has several negative features. Moorland provides high quantities this appear be around Park. In conservation management populations field signs should monitored.
