List of national first-class protected animals 59 - spot-tailed hazel chicken

The spot-tailed hazel chicken (scientific name: Bonasa sewerzowi) is a unique breed in China, only produced in Gansu, Qinghai, Sichuan and other places in China. It feeds mainly on the scale buds of willows, hazelnuts, leaves and spruce seeds, as well as flowers, inflorescences, leaves, and young branches of other plants. It also preys on small caterpillars, pseudo-walking insects, goldenrods, etc. The narrow distribution area, coupled with the destruction of man-made and natural enemies, is becoming less and less numerous and endangered.
