Documenting animals in their natural habitat can be a difficult task. Photographers use various means to remain undetected such as camouflaging themselves or staying a distance away. Sometimes despite the effort, the subject of the shot catches onto the photographer. Here’s a selection of Swild’s best caught on camera moments!

在自然栖息地记录动物是一项艰巨的任务。摄影师会通过各种手段隐蔽自己，不被动物发现，例如使用伪装或保持距离。尽管煞费心思，很多时候，野生动物仍能够发现摄影师。本期拾图精选了西南山地图库中最精彩的“看镜头”的瞬间。

1. 藏南猕猴

Macaca munzala

(South Tibetan Macaques)

This male macaque looks shocked that someone wants to take his picture! The Macaca munzala is a new species that was published in 2005, and can be identified by it’s dark browncoat and distinctively short tail length when compared with other species of macaque. Adult male South Tibetan macaques, such as the also feature a line of black fur that from the corners of the mouth to ears, and this is another identifying feature ofthe species. The South Tibetan macaque population is sparsely populated and assuch is listed as an endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

这只藏南猕猴一脸惊讶，因为它发现了摄影师。藏南猕猴是2005年发表的新物种，与其他猕猴相比，它有着深棕色的皮毛和明显较短的尾巴。该物种的另一个特征是成年雄性藏南猕猴有一条从嘴角到耳朵的黑色纹路。藏南猕猴种群数量稀少，被世界自然保护联盟（IUCN）列为濒危物种。

2. 猞猁

Lynx lynx

(Lynx)

This Lynx seems to haves potted our photographer despite the dense foliage. Lynx are top predators andhave a keen sense of hearing and smell that allow the lynx to detect others intheir environment. Lynx are recognisable by their fur and distinctive ears. Their fur is the softest of all cats (9,000 hairs per cm²) and varies in colour fromgrey to taupe. Alongside the colour, the spots on the lynx can vary from paleand clear as seen with the Himalayan lynx to more obvious spots seen on the European lynx. The ears usually have long tufts of fur with the inside covered in a white fur and the middle of the back revealing grey spots.

这只猞猁好像在茂密的树丛中发现了我们的摄影师。猞猁是顶级猎食动物，敏锐的听觉和嗅觉让它们能够探察到周围环境的其他动物。猞猁因其皮毛和独特的耳朵而很容易辨认。它们的皮毛是所有猫科动物中最柔软的（9000根/平方厘米），颜色从灰色到灰褐色各有差异。猞猁身上的斑点也各有不同，喜马拉雅猞猁身上的斑点更加灰白，欧洲猞猁身上则有更明显的斑点。猞猁耳朵上通常有长长的毛簇，毛簇内侧为白色，耳背中间附有灰色的斑点。

3.小麂

Muntiacus reevesi

(Chinese Muntjac)

This indignant look directed at the camera by the Chinese muntjac. They are also known as Reeves's muntjac in reference to John Reeves, a British East India Company employee dating back to the 19th century. His purposeful stare at the camera could be explained by the timid nature of this mammal. However, the Chinese muntjac canstand its own. It has been referred to as the‘barking deer’ due to the barking sound they produce during mating or when provoked. The males also have shortantlers and long tusks to use when fighting over territory or mates.

图中的小麂用略显愤怒的眼神盯着镜头。小麂的另一个名字叫做“里弗斯麂”，取自十九世纪一名英国东印度公司的雇员-约翰·里弗斯。小麂是天生胆小和怯弱的哺乳动物，这也是图中它露出谨慎的眼神的原因。然而虽然机警，小麂在其交配或被激怒时会发出类似犬吠的叫声，因此，它们也被称作“吠叫之鹿”。雄性在争夺领地或配偶时甚至会使用短角和长牙。

4. 红耳鼠兔
Ochotona erythrotis
(Chinese Red Pika)

Pika typically haveshort limbs, a small tail and round ears. The Chinese red pika stands out due to its reddish colouring and being the largest of the species. In winter, thepika’s fur becomes a grey colour and then returns to its yellow and red tonesin the summer. A burrowing species, the pika is rock dwelling and can be foundon cliff and rock terrain or in scrubland or meadows with nearby rock formations.

鼠兔通常拥有短小的四肢，小尾巴和圆耳朵。红耳鼠兔由于其微红色的毛发以及作为鼠兔中最大的物种而引人注目。在冬天，红耳鼠兔的皮毛变成灰色，夏季的时候又变成红黄色调。鼠兔是一种穴居动物，栖息在岩石上、悬崖边，以及在岩层附近的草甸上能够找到它们。

5.羚牛

Budorcas taxicolor

（Takin）

This old male Takin has lost one horn as it was broken off during a fight. This means he cannot compete and keep up with his tribe, and is destined to live at low altitudes until he dies. Originally, it was assumed that takin were genetically similar to the muskox. However,recent mitochondrial research suggests they are more closely related to sheep. Yet their stocky body and deep chest suggests a physical similarity to the muskox, providing an example of convergent evolution.

看向镜头的是一只年迈的羚牛，它的其中一支犄角在打斗中折断了，这意味着它再也不能和其他羚牛争斗，同时也没办法继续待在它的族群内，它已经注定要在低海拔独自生存直至死亡。最初，人们认为羚牛在基因上与麝牛相似，但最近的线粒体研究表明，他们在基因上与羊的关系更密切。而它们结实的身体和深邃的胸腔显示它们与麝牛在生理上的相似性，这是趋同进化的一个例子。

6. 艾鼬

Mustela eversmanii

（Steppe Polecat）

These steppe polecat shave caught the camera twice-over here! The steppe polecat can be recognised through its white-ish yellow fur with guard hairs with black tips. The polecattends to settle in one area, populated by prey (usually ground squirrels) and will remain there until the prey are extirpated. Luckily the ability of the steppepolecat to tolerate habitat changes and their position in many protected areas allows the steppe polecat to be ranked as‘Least Concern’by the IUCN.

这张照片里拍到两只艾鼬。艾鼬的毛发黄白相间，尾部尖端具有黑色的粗毛。艾鼬倾向于定居在猎物充足（通常是地松鼠）的地区内，直到猎物被捕食殆尽。艾鼬对栖息地变化有强大适应能力，它们在许多保护区内又具有重要地位，因此世界自然保护联盟将草原艾鼬列为低危。

7. 中华鬣羚

Capricornis milneedwardsii

(Chinese Gazelle)

This Chinese gazelle was spotted by Zou Tao Photography in June during the early summer breeding season up Gongga Mountain in Sichuan. The male hid in thebush on the hillside to watch the photographers with curiosity. Chinese gazelles typically act fearful towards humans. Five minutes later it chased another male gazelle, paying no attention to the presence or proximity of the photographers. They can traverse such rocky terrain with ease and prefer to inhabit this landscape, but they have also been observed in forests as well as small offshore islands which they can swim to.

这只中华鬣羚是摄影师邹滔在四川贡嘎山拍摄的，拍摄时正值六月初夏，是中华鬣羚的繁殖期。图中的雄性鬣羚躲在山坡上的灌木丛里，好奇地看着摄影师。通常情况下，中华鬣羚会对人类表现出恐惧，而此图拍摄时，图中的中华鬣羚只顾追赶另一只雄性，丝毫不在意摄影师的存在或靠近。中华鬣羚可以轻松地穿越岩石地带，并且偏好居住在这样的环境中。不过也有记录观察到它们生活在森林中，甚至游到的离岸小岛上。

8.香鼬

Mustela altaica

(Mountain Weasel)

A threatening glarewould be expected as a default from a predator, yet this mountain weasel has adelicate face and disgruntled stare. It hunts small animals such as pikas and chinchillas in the forest but has also been known to visit the river in order to catch fish. Mountain weasels will reside in rock crevices, tree trunks, and the abandoned burrows of prey it has killed. However unfortunately the lifestyle of the mountain weasel has been threatened by habitat and resource loss. It is forthis reason that the IUCN has classified mountain weasels as near threatened.

通常，猎食动物都具有凶狠的目光，可这只香鼬却有着一张精致的脸和不满的神情。香鼬生活在森林里，以捕猎小动物为生，如鼠兔和毛丝鼠，但也发现其具有捕鱼行为。香鼬会栖居在岩缝、树干和被其捕食的动物的洞穴中。不幸的是，香鼬的生存受到栖息地和食物减少的威胁。正是由于这个原因，世界自然保护联盟将香鼬列为近危物种。

9.西藏鼠兔

Ochotona thibetana

（Moupin Pika）

Spotted by another Pika! This moupin pika is of a smaller variety and in summer has russet-brown colouring which becomes a duller brown in the winter months. This pika is typically active during the day but can also be active at night. Found in rocky regions and bamboo forests, this pika is also known to burrow. Whilst currentlyrated as‘Least Concern’ by the IUCN, the habit of this pika is under risk due to deforestation and livestock grazing.

又被鼠兔发现啦！西藏鼠兔的体型较小，它们的毛色夏天呈赤褐色，冬天变成暗褐色。西藏鼠兔通常在白天活动，但偶尔也会夜行。它们生活在多岩石的地区和竹林中，以穴居闻名。虽然目前被世界自然保护联盟评为低危，但由于森林砍伐和游牧业，这种鼠兔的生存正面临威胁。

10. 大熊猫

Ailuropoda melanoleuca

(Giant Panda)

This giant panda needs no introduction to anyone familiar with the wildlife of China. This picture is taken by the 4K-level triggering equipment independently developed by Swild based on years of field experience. This one particular panda on captured by trigger camera wears the gormless gaze characteristic of the black and white bear. The giant panda is endemic to China, and as such is protected at the first class national level. Due to this protection and through the breeding efforts pursued by China, in 2016 the reclassified the conservation status ofthe panda from endangered to vulnerable. This is good news for both pandas and China alike, as the animal has taken on an international role representing thecountry as a de factonational symbol.

对熟悉中国野生动物的人，大熊猫已经无需再做介绍了。熊猫在国际上已经成为中国的象征。此图是由西南山地根据多年野外经验，自主研发的4K级触发拍摄设备所拍。图中的大熊猫一边喝水一边看着触发相机的镜头，显得呆头呆脑。大熊猫是中国特有物种，受到国家一级保护。因中国的各项保护措施和育种努力，2016年，大熊猫的保护状态从濒危降为易危，这对大熊猫和中国来说都是好消息。
