甘肃敦煌阳关保护区鹅喉羚频频出镜

Gazella subgutturosa, goose-throated antelope, frequently appears in Yangguan Nature Reserve of Dunhuang, Gansu Province

近日，笔者从甘肃敦煌阳关国家级自然保护区获悉，国家二级重点保护野生动物鹅喉羚频频出现在野外监控镜头里，种群再添新成员。

Recently, the author learned from the Yangguan National Nature Reserve of Dunhuang, Gansu Province, that the national second-level key protected wild animal gazella subgutturosa frequently appeared in the field monitoring camera. A new member of the population is added.

据保护区工作人员介绍，目前阳关境内已监测到数百只鹅喉羚，种群活动范围覆盖阳关和西湖两个自然保护区，而且每年的种群数量稳中有升。特别是去冬今春以来，鹅喉羚频繁出现在野外监控镜头里，要么三五成群，要么一二十只成群，有小群甚至来到保护站附近活动。

According to the staff of the reserve, hundreds of gazella subgutturosa have been monitored in Yangguan, covering the Yangguan and West Lake nature reserves, and the population is rising steadily every year. Especially since the last winter and spring, gazella subgutturosa frequently appear in the field surveillance cameras, either in small groups, or in groups of 10 or 20, some even come to the protection station activities.

鹅喉羚属典型的荒漠、半荒漠区域生存的野生动物，体形似黄羊，因雄羚在发情期喉部肥大，状如鹅喉，故得名“鹅喉羚”，被列入世界自然保护联盟（IUCN）2013年濒危物种红色名录。（麻守仕）

It is a typical wild animal living in desert and semi-desert areas. It is similar in shape to yellow sheep. Because the throat of male gazella subgutturosa is enlarged during the rutting season, it is like goose throat, so it is named "goose-throated antelope", which is listed in the Red List of Threatened Species of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2013.
