Langshan Mountain-World Natural Heritage

Recently, the infra cameras installed in Emperor Shun Mountain Nature Reserve captured images of various national level protected wild animals. Surprisely, the precious images of tufted deer and silver pheasant searching for food together were also captured.

The tufted deer is a mammal belonging to the deer family of the order Artiodactyla, inhabiting high mountains. It is often found in bamboo, grass, and shrub areas between 1000 and 4000 meters above sea level. Often appearing in pairs, they are active frequently at dusk, adept at concealment, and difficult to detect. Grass is its main food.

The silver pheasant is a resident bird of the pheasant family in the order Cockformes, inhabiting monsoon evergreen broad-leaved forests, theropencedrymion, and pinus massoniana forests. The silver pheasant often acts in pairs or as a family group, with an alert and timid nature. It mainly feeds on tender leaves, young shoots, flowers, stems, berries, seeds, and moss of plants, as well as insects of the order Lepidoptera.
