Analysis on the Pattern of Spatial Use and Home Range of Bull - Bos javanicus d'Alton, 1832 in Alas Purwo National Park, East Java

Abstract

Research on the pattern of bull’s spatial and homerange in Alas Ppurwo National Park, was carried out in 2 months, i.e. April-May 2006. The observation was done at four vegetation types were low-land forest, coastal forest, planted forest and grazing area. The dominant activities of bull’s on each type of vegetation were resting at lowland forest, briniy at coastal forest, and feeding at planted forest and grazing area (pasture field). Bull’s homerange in rainy season was 3,37 km2 with 21,1 km was travelled distance.
