避免捕食主要依赖于行为机制[van Schaik和van Hooff，1983]。灵长类动物向捕食者发出警报，包括大多数鸟类和哺乳动物(Cheney和Wrangham，1987)。警报呼叫可以用来向捕食者发出信号，表明它已经被发现[Zuberbühler等人，1999]，从而可能降低攻击的可能性[Schultz，2001]，它们还通知猎物捕食者的存在，从而提高总体注意力水平[Schülke，2001]。虽然鹰被报道为犀猴的捕食者之一[Bai等人，1987]，但到目前为止，这些猴子和猛禽之间的相互作用很少被记录下来。在这里，我记录了R.bieti与秃鹰[Buteo sp.，Yang XJ，Pers.]之间的互动。Comm.]
Predation avoidance relies primarily on behavioural mechanisms [van Schaik and van Hooff, 1983]. Primates alarm call at predators, including most birds and mammals [Cheney and Wrangham, 1987]. Alarm calls could be used to signal to the predator that it has been spotted [Zuberbühler et al., 1999], thereby probably decreasing the likelihood of an attack [Schultz, 2001], and they also inform prey of the presence of the predator, thereby increasing overall attention levels [Schülke, 2001]. Although eagles are reported to be one of the predators of Rhinopithecus bieti [Bai et al., 1987], few interactions between these monkeys and raptors have been documented to date. Here I document an interaction witnessed between R. bieti and a buzzard [Buteo sp., Yang XJ, pers. comm.].
