马来熊在西藏吉隆县的分布新发现

The distribution of sun bears (Helarctos malayanus) is limited in China with very low populations in wild.The distribution of sun bear in Tibet is disputed,with only a single specimen record from 1906.In the Second National Survey of Terrestrial Wildlife Resources,we photographed a sun bear in Jilong County,Tibet.The photo confirmed the existence of sun bears in Tibet,expanding its apparent distribution range,and we propose potential wider distribution region in China.
