We identified 46 plant species in Kulan fecal samples,representing 17 families. Diets veried seasonally :in autumn,we documented 25 plant species from 8 families consumed by Kulans ;in winter,Kulan consumed 13 plant species from 5 families;30 plant species from 14 fami- lies were used by Kulan in spring ;and 26 plant species from 13 families were used by Kulan in summer. Chenopodiaceae and Gramineae were major foods of Kulan,comprising 64 7% - 84 1% of their diet,and forbs were very important to Ku- lan in spring. Stipa glareosa was a major food of Kulan in spring and summer ,of lesser but significant importance were Haloxylon ammodendron and Ceratoides latens. Similar to the summer,grasses like Stipa glareosa also played an important role in autumn,but shrubs became of more importance. In winter,Anabasis spp. and Reaumuria soongonica were the major food of Kulan. We believe that the Kulan in KNR occupied a grazer-mixed feeder continu
