The noninvasive sampling was applied to analyze the winter home range of the Manchurian wapiti (Cervus canadensis xanthopygus) in the east of the Wanda Mountains, north-eastern China’s Heilongjiang Province. A total of 210 feces samples of the animal were collected from the study area during two consecutive winters. The DNAs were successfully extracted from 167 samples, and all genotypes of 7 microsatellite loci were obtained. Individual identification shows that the 167 samples belonged to 66 individuals. Through gender identification by the SRY gene, it was learned that the 66 individuals were 22 females and 44 males. Then, the winter home ranges of seven individuals (5 males and 2 females) were determined by Minimum Convex Polygons estimation. The results show that the winter home ranges of male individuals varied from 169.26 to 1,085.61 hm (mean: 557.62 ± 411.83 hm), while those of female individuals were 43.72 hm and 14.71 hm (mean: 29.21 ± 20.51 hm). Finally, it is concluded that the noninvasive sampling is a feasible way to study the home range of endangered animals. This technique can be applied in the future to acquire more comprehensive information about the home range of animals.
