Mt. Kinkazan deer "gleaning" -- off of Yamato Tsuji stress observation of Miyagi Prefecture oshika peninsula at the start of the recording area on the small island of about ten square kilometers. Primeval beech and the rest of the fir, the Japanese sika deer and wild creatures that live there. On this island, I study on the foraging behavior of monkeys. The island is now about two hundred and six groups of monkeys living. I look for the study of theIn the northwest part of the island. In this area, monkeys, deer inhabit nearly three hundred. But the tree of life, and the main ground, this kind of animal, which lives irrelevant to each other. However, at the 2000, may day, that is, as always, when observing the monkey. To stop recording field notes, I unconsciously in front of my eyes, gazing into the scene. To my surprise,The number of deer head, wooden eat monkeys, monkeys dropped below the leaves and flowers to scramble for it and began to eat. Among them, in the branches of the deflection of the weight, the deer is eating leaves is usually does not arrive. The lower part of the day field notes. At a later date, the literature examining the behavior of animals that dropped food and eating the animals on the treeMasterpiece of millet and found that it came from the "gleaning". However, it is examined in detail, it didn't seem too. At the "gleaning" interested, then I see the same behavior of deer, to record the following items in the notes field. At the time, place, and weather at "while picking up the" deer "gleanings of deer at the plant to pick up number", it is found at what look at.In the years from 2000 to 2005, a total of three hundred and two years in the "gleaning" I recorded the rising number of forty seven times. I know I collected from the recording, as follows. "At" gleanings from March to may, in the spring of focus (Fig. 1). At the "gleaning" deer, the deer 十六種二十二品目 plants (Table 1). "The number of deer up to glean, once per one was varied from one and twenty. AtWhen the monkey in the tree, foraging, many are tired of eating out in the middle of the branches of the tree in fall of many plants. On the hypothesis that record, I was thinking about the reason why the deer "gleaning". To gather at the monkey tree comes out the food to the monkeys, deer or anything. In addition, it focuses on the spring for strange behavior. I'm atThe reason why the "deer" Gleaner following hypothesis, to conduct the research. The first spring, there is a lack of food. The food at the drop of a monkey, high nutritional value. In the hypothesis testing of one at the loyalties of gramineous grass on the measurement of two - year supply of Gramineae in 2005, including the original deer grass food supply, and examined how changes in the seasons. Every monthThe harvest of rice grass grows in the range of 50 centimeters square, weighing. As a result, the amount of grasses of the family Gramineae from summer to autumn, and then rapidly decreases (Fig. 2). At the spring, there are many "gleaning" at the time, there is a lack of proper food. Check of the nutritional value of food for the analysis of two - year 2004 to 2005, including nutritional value to compare the food and feeding deer "gleaning"Collected and Gramineae grass of deer original food component analysis was carried out. As a result, the food you eating "gleaning", protein and lipid throughout the year, rich in carbohydrates, such as that of a large amount of energy contained in the food (Table 2). The monkey's food, the food of high nutritive value. Further, it is too interesting. Researchers studying deer in the northwest part of the island of the same weight, the deerSeveral times a year. And to see that the march around see very light weight of Sika Deer (Fig. 3). Lack of food for the winter, until the fall of the consumption in the spring, body fat, weight is light. It is understood from the deer body fat measurement results in Iwate Prefecture, Japan. The spring of the year, the nutritional status of sika deer in bad times. From the study of these too will be supported by the results of the previous two hypotheses.The deer is a monkey, the food is bad, poor nutritional status in timing acquisition is difficult, and nutritious food to me a lot, and is considered to be thankful. At the beginning, as described so far, the Japanese sika deer live and live in the ground, and is independent to each other. However, a series of studies, the relationship of this kind of animal can live with that.I live in the same place of living things, the connection between complexity and funny, one feels like peeking. The future for further investigation of the size effect on the behavior of life to the extent to which you will see. If you want to check the deer 's effect on the monkey. The animals in order to maintain the living environment for the balancedIf you can make use of the knowledge obtained from this study, it is the joy of researchers and more than anything. At
