摘要
台湾是我国的最大岛屿,地跨北回归线,属亚热带——热带湿润季风气候。动物地理区划属东洋界,中印亚界,华南动物地理区,台湾亚区,计有陆栖脊椎动物约609种,其中鸟类最多,有428种,占总数70.3％;兽类有61种,占总数10.0％。依台湾自然地理环境,动物地理区划可分为台南动物自然地理省和台北动物自然地理省。前者属热带季节性雨林区。主要分布有台湾猕猴;亚洲黑熊,中国穿山甲、蓝鹇、黑长尾雉等;后者属亚热带常绿阔叶林区,主要分布有玉山噪鹛;台湾煤山等雀。台湾岛屿与大陆长期隔离发展的结果,形成许多岛屿特有种和亚种的分化。
In Taiwan, the largest island in china, the total number of land vertebrates are 609 species, including428 sp. birds and 61 sp. mammals. the former being 70. 3% while the latter 10. 0% of the total animals habitating in Taiwan. The natural geographic environment of this island may be divided into two parts: Taibei natural geographic province and Tainan natural geographic province, so the varieties of the animals in Taibei are significantly different from those in Tainan. The results of the separation of Taiwan island from China' s mainland for so long a period are : a) many peculiar species have been generated; b) many sub-species have been formed.
