5 lip 2022 · Lyngdoh et al. (2020) found that livestock consumption (54.92%) was widespread in the Himalayan wolf diet across the mountain areas of Asia. A total of 39 prey species were recorded in the wolf diet with highly localized selection for rare species such as Przewalski's horse Equus ferus przewalskii. Our data suggest a similar pattern with a high ...
1 paź 2019 · We explore the summer diet of the Himalayan wolf, and of sympatric carnivores, based on the analysis of 257 field collected and genetically confirmed scat samples collected across three study areas in the Himalayas of Nepal (Humla, Dolpa, and Kanchenjunga Conservation Area) and two study areas on the Tibetan Plateau of China (Zhaqing and Namsai ...
8 lut 2017 · In this paper, we compared diets and prey selection of snow leopards and wolves based on analyses of genotyped scats (snow leopards n = 182, wolves n = 57), collected within 26 sampling grid cells (5×5 km) that were distributed across a vast landscape of ca 5000 km2 in the Central Himalayas, Nepal.
The Himalayan wolf—the oldest extant lineage of wolves—lives in the high altitudes of the Himalayan and Tibetan plateau, hunting Tibetan gazelles. Wolves can survive on 2.5 to 3.7 pounds of meat daily, but they require 5 to 7 pounds per day for successful reproduction.
