Resting metabolic rate (RMR) and field metabolic rate (FMR) of wild-caught males were estimated from oxygen consumption and the doubly-labeled water method, respectively. The average FMR:RMR ratio of 6.9 was much greater than ratios reported for other mammals. Total FMR (kJ/day) increased and specific RMR (kJ/kg/day) decreased with time. Neither total RMR nor specific FMR were significantly related to time. The decrease in specific RMR may result from a circannual decrease in maintenance expenditure and a seasonal increase in body mass. Total FMR may increase through the season as conditions for male activity become more favorable.
通过氧气消耗量和双标记水法分别估算了野生雄性动物的静息代谢率（RMR）和野外代谢率（FMR）。平均FMR:RMR比值为6.9，远高于其他哺乳动物的报道比值。总FMR（千焦/天）随时间增加，而特定RMR（千焦/千克/天）随时间下降。总RMR和特定FMR均与时间无显著相关性。特定RMR的下降可能是由于维持消耗的年度性减少和体重的季节性增加。随着雄性活动条件变得更加有利，总FMR可能会在整个季节增加。
