Abstract

The objectives of this paper are to estimate home range and core habitat area of raccoon dogliving in the rural area of Korea. A radio-telemetry study was carried out on 22 raccoon dog individuals. Among these individuals, 4 raccoon dogs made 2 pairs and they were monogamous and moved together all the year 2(100% MCP). The mean home range size of male individuals was 0.98 km2(N = 5, 100% MCP) and that of female individuals was 0.58 km2(N = 4, 100% MCP). On the other hand, in case 95% MCP(Minimum Convex Polygon) was applied, the gap of home-range size between sex distinction was closed to 0.63 km2 (male) and 0.42 km2(female). The home range size of two pairs of which the male and the female were radio-tracked at the same time showed little difference. In case of one pair, the home range size(95% MCP) was 0.28 km2(male) and 0.26 km2(female) and in case of the other pair, it was 0.36 km2each (male and female). Consequently there seems no significant difference in the home-range size between a male and a female racoon dog except the unusual cases such as unpaired individuals or the ones with no fixed territory.
