Habits
Habitat in the desert, desert, grassland or desert regions, can adapt to the cold, barren environment, often alone, in rock crevices or inhabit the cave using marmot. Den path bending, the depth of 2 meters above normal. Nocturnal, more active and hunt at dusk. Lack of food in winter when daylight come out to feed, or moved to nearby villages. Visual and auditory development, the event is quickly escape danger or hidden hole in the soil temporarily. Abdominal hair long-haired and has a good thermal effect is conducive to long to lay on the frozen ground or snow, opportunistic hunting. Sounds like domestic cats, but more rough. Mainly in rodents for food, also eat rabbits, rats and rabbits, chickens and other sand. To wild birds, marmots and a variety of rodents for food, but often cream wolf kiss. Each year in early spring heat, summer Chanzai, usually every child three or four. Is a nocturnal animal, but the twilight are frequent.

Population Status
Rabbit monkey in China located in the north, northwest and southwest regions. In other countries, also found in Mongolia, Caucasus, Central Asia, Baikal, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Kashmir and other places. Rabbit macaque in the treeless steppes of Mongolia (mallon, 1985) and Russian border with Mongolia and China in the mountains (bannikov and sokilov, 1984) in larger quantities. In Tibet and northwest China have healthy populations exist (cat specialist group, 1992). In its range of distribution has not yet been investigating the population status, the country's population is difficult to estimate; Tibet 2000-2500 only about the number of existing (higher Yin Ping, 1993).

To risk factors
Decline in the number of arbitrary arrest is the main reason for the killing. 50 years in western China's acquisition of rabbit fur amounted to 10 000 rhesus (tan, 1984). In eastern Tibet, the distribution of some key counties in the 1970s, the late acquisition of each county 500-700 Zhang rabbit monkey fur, but in the 1980s, only dozens of acquisitions, may indicate the number of its wildlife population is decreasing. As the rabbit macaque living area uninhabitable place, the loss of their habitat is not the main reason for its reduction in the number (cat specialist group, 1992).

Protection measures
Existing protective measures: Published in 1988, China's "national key protected wild animal list" as ii-class protected animals; Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora International Trade Convention (cites) listed the species in Appendix Ⅱ. Protective measures we recommend: 1, the status of the species and ecological issues of biological study, is more rare in the population should be rapidly hunting areas; 2, on the basis of scientific investigation, if some provinces the number of rabbit monkey has been very rare, if not to take emergency measures will lead to species extinction, then, should be promoted to provincial or national level of i-level protected animals.

Body characteristics
Domestic cats with similar size, weight 2-3 kg, body thick and short ears, short and wide, blunt round, ears distance. Fluffy tail hair, extraordinarily obese. Rabbit Sunshitusun Vision, hearing is more sensitive, to avoid the enemy when swift action. Calls and domestic cats are similar, but more rough. There are several characteristics of rabbit monkey and other cats differentiation. Its feet are short, fat weight than the hips, and hair is very long, very thick. In particular, this makes it look chunky and hairy. It's hair will change with the seasons - winter would be more gray and less flowers. It's ear position is low and so there is a bit like an owl's face. Because it was relatively fat face, once considered the ancestors of the Persian breed.
