The Preliminary Study on the Habitat Selection of the Red Panda in Pianma of the Gaoligong Shan Mountains

A survey on the space distribution of the red panda (Aliurus fulgens) wasconducted in the Gaoligong Shan Mountains. The data showed that the red panda inthis area distributed mainly in the bamboo forests between 3000~3300 m above sea level and had no obvious move with the season change. The frequency of the red panda's active trail was obviously correlated with the bamboo's height (R=-0.301, p<0.001),density (R=-0.159, P<0.005) and the outshoot (R=0.911, P<0.001) which were obvi ously above the bamboos.
