- 6.34 Barking deer. Microhabitat factors associated with forage and bed sites of barking deer in Hainan Island, China were examined. In this region woods make up 4.8% of the land, cultivated grass plot makes up 14.7%, and deciduous forests make up 39.6%. Of the 426 sites where the deer forage, 4 were categorized as woods, 16 as cultivated grassplot, and 61 as deciduous forests. The table below summarizes these data.39 Woods Cultivated grassplot Deciduous forests Other Total 4 16 61 345 426 (a) Write the hypotheses for testing if barking deer prefer to forage in cer- tain habitats over others.
