Abstract
We documented home ranges for 3 radio-marked (2 ♂,1 ♀) Tibetan foxes (Vulpes ferrilata) in Gouli township, Dulan County, Qinghai Province, China in Sep. 21 - Oct. 21, 2006 and Jan 14 - Jan. 20, Feb. 6 - Feb. 12 and Mar. 13 - Apr. 8 , 2007. Home ranges of 3 collared Tibetan foxes were quantified using the fixed kernel method, and a simple index of home range overlap was also calculated. Mean home range size was 6.4 km2 (SE = 0.4) and the mean core area was 1.6 km (SE = 0.2). Home ranges and core area of all 3 foxes overlapped. Percentage home range overlap was 50% -60%, and overlap of core areas was 7% -20%.
