Do antelopes migrate 5, do antelopes migrate

The African steppe antelope migrates with the water source, and the Tibetan antelope in China also migrates with the climate, with a distance of up to several hundred kilometers.

Yes, they need to constantly migrate due to the need for aquatic and grass food in search of the best breeding and foraging areas.

If you read more news, you will know that when we built the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, we specifically considered the issue of regular migration of antelopes.

1. The geographical and climatic conditions of the eastern and northwest parts of Hoh Xil and the source area of the Yangtze River are different. There are many lakes in the west, it is the source area of the Chumar River in the north of the Yangtze River, the large and small rivers crisscross each other, the plant growth is uneven, the female Tibetan antelope living in the southeast chooses the lambing place here in the Sun Lake, Kusai Lake, Zhuo Nai Lake and Leopard Gorge and other places. The eastern part of the country has a higher altitude, while the altitude of the Sanjiangyuan Nature Reserve is relatively low, and the climate is warm and comfortable, and the female antelope prefers to live at a relatively low altitude.

Therefore, antelopes prefer to migrate long distances for the sake of clear directionality, but roads and railways just separate them.

2. The migratory route is related to the river, and the Tibetan antelope likes to move on both sides of the Chumar River. The Chumar River traverses the central and northern parts of Hoh Xili, with nearly half of the river east of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, making it a seasonal river.

3. Because a large number of Tibetan antelopes in the lambing period were hunted in the northwest a few years ago, the Tibetan antelopes were forced to move eastward and cross the highway to live. However, the increasingly dense traffic on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway forms a barrier to flow, making it difficult for Tibetan antelopes to traverse. In addition to mining and oil extraction, about 100,000 construction workers entered Qinghai-Tibet in 2002.

Ten years ago, Golmud was just a human settlement, but now it is a thriving city. The influx may not have taken into account the ecological resilience of the area and the impact on wildlife survival.

Although the area occupied by roads and railways is negligible, the fragmentation of major habitats limits the potential dispersal needs and reproductive capacity of animals, reducing their foraging capacity. They need to move freely in habitats such as grass and water for widely dispersed or seasonal resources, and one particular resource lasts only a few weeks a year, and in some places animals visit only once a year. However, when the living environment is fragmented, wild animals cannot migrate to obtain the rare resources in the alpine grasslands.

This forces them to over-graze in already unsuitable habitats, eventually leading to food shortages and population extinction.

Hello, I've been waiting for a long time, the migration of Tibetan antelopes is mainly walking in groups, most of them are female Tibetan antelope migrations, and the migration journey can be up to thousands of kilometers round-trip. There are three main migration routes of Tibetan antelopes, the first migration route is from Qiangtang to Zhuo Nai Lake, the second migration route is from the Chumaer River Bridge to the southeast shore of Zhuo Nai Lake, and the third migration route is from the Altun Mountain area, passing through Whale Lake to the west bank of Zhuo Nai Lake.

Migration is for the sake of giving birth. Every year around June, Tibetan antelopes go from Sun Lake in Xinjiang to Zhuo Nai Lake to give birth. It's a long, long-distance migration route that stretches thousands of miles away.

The water of Zhuo Nai Lake and the surrounding grass and even soil are rich in vitamins and salt, and the female Tibetan antelope eats grass and drinks the lake water to give special milk, and Zhuo Nai Lake is the best place to give birth.

Why do Tibetan antelopes migrate? Migrating to**?

Hello, I am inquiring for you here, please wait a while, I will reply to you immediately Hello, I am happy to answer for you, modern biologists think; The root cause of animal migration is natural selection, and species that migrate are able to leave more offspring than those that do not. So, what is the reason for the reproductive success of migratory animals? First, migration allows animals to take advantage of resources that are not present in a variety of habitats at all times.

Tibetan antelope migrates for breeding, with adult females and their female offspring migrating 300 kilometers each year from their winter mating grounds to their summer lambing grounds.

When the female Tibetan antelope gives birth to offspring, she has to travel thousands of miles to Hoh Xil to give birth. Zhuo Nai Lake and Sun Lake and other places are rich in water and grass, and there are few natural enemies. Abundant food and a relatively safe environment are conducive to the production and growth of Tibetan antelopes.

The water quality of Zhuo Nai Lake and Sun Lake contains some special substances that are conducive to the survival of Tibetan antelope mothers and children.

After the Tibetan antelope concentrates on lambing, it is possible to leave the lambing area and return to a population other than the one where it was before. This will facilitate the exchange of genes and increase the genetic diversity of the species, thus contributing to the continuation of the Tibetan antelope population.
