what is the habitat,food,activity,and characteridtics of deers

Furthermore, Zhang (2000b) in his research also on Chinese Water Deer ( Hydropotes inermis ) stated that eating activity is the highest activity that is equal to 50,4% from total daily activity activity, followed by rest 37,2% and other activities such as standing , social behavior, walking and auto grooming of 12.4%. Different results obtained from Craigjead et al. (1973) research on Elk ( Cervus elaphus canadensis ) using a 24-hour radio monitor turned out to be 46% of the total time spent on rest, 44% for meals, and 10% for other activities. The change of seasons and the differences affect the time spent on the animals to indulge, this occurs because of changes in energy requirements that will affect food needs (Morrier and McNell, 1991; Defler, 1995).

Research on the daily activities of the Java deer kept in captive breeding in Indonesia is very rare, since deer breeding in Indonesia is very small, apart from that research on daily activity such as in animal behavior research by some people is considered boring.
