Feeding - Feeding

Japanese: 餌づけ - えづけ
Feeding - Feeding
The term "feeding" has come into use today since the feeding of wild Japanese macaques. The first feeding took place in 1952 on Koshima Island on the Nichinan coast of Miyazaki Prefecture for the purpose of ecological research, and feeding was later carried out in various places, including Takasakiyama in Oita City, for tourism and other purposes. In English, it is called "provisioning" or "feeding." By feeding the animals with food, humans can remove the animals' fear and wariness of humans, making it easier to observe them from close range, and allowing long-term observation through individual identification.

Japanese:
餌づけという言葉が今日普及するに至ったのは,野生ニホンザルの餌づけに端を発している。1952年に宮崎県日南海岸の幸島で,生態学的な研究の目的で餌づけられたのが最初であるが,その後大分市高崎山をはじめ各地で観光等の目的で餌づけがおこなわれた。英語ではprovisionizationあるいはfeedingと呼ばれている。人が動物に投与する餌を介して,動物の人に対する恐怖心や警戒心を取り去り,至近距離からの観察を容易にする方法で,個体識別による長期観察を可能にした。
