Pheasants of Pakistan (Western Horned Tragopan) The tragopans or horned pheasants are medium-sized montane pheasants in which the sexes are highly dimorphic, the males tending toward crimson on the head and sometimes elsewhere, and with extensive white to buffy dorsal spotting. Beebe (1918-1922) found western tragopans to be foraging on newly sprouted leaves, and based on the accounts of various sportsmen believed that such vegetable matter forms their principal diet. Generally, the satyr tragopan is largely limited to the watershed of the Ganges River, whilst the western is associated with the watershed of the Indus, although no major ecological or physiographic barrier separates the two at present. www.wildlifeofpakistan.com /Western_Horned_Tragopan.htm   (2913 words)

Tragopan fotopages - Fotopages.com We have been able to breed from our Blyth's tragopans using artificial mating methods, but not in such an extent as we have managed to do with one of its closest relatives, the Cabot's tragopans, which we have bred by the hundreds during the last several year. Satyr and Blyth's tragopan have also been inseminated during the breeding season to increase the total number of succesful matings and numbers of youngsters respectively, meant for captive breeding. Mid May is mid in the tragopan breeding season in Belgium, and so we managed to show these young men and women some fundamental steps and equipment (micro-transferpettors, specula, diluants) to successfully perform artificial insemination. tragopan.fotopages.com /?&page=1   (2466 words)
