The Lu Liang Mountains of central Shanxi Province contain the Pangquan Gou Nature Reserve (105 km2), a major breeding ground for the brown-eared pheasant (Crossoptilon mantchuricum).

Central China loess plateau mixed forests

While species such as the white-eared pheasant (Crossoptilon crossoptilon) are not technically endemic to the hotspot, they are important species endemic to Southwest China.

Tibetan eared-pheasant (Crossoptilon harmani) and the closely related white eared-pheasant (Crossoptilon crossoptilon) are also reported from steppe habitat at the lower end of the Tsangpo River Valley.

Several species that are more widespread, but vulnerable to extinction, include giant nuthatch (Sitta magna) and white-eared pheasant (Crossoptilon crossoptilon).

Other threatened bird species with a broad habitat range include giant nuthatches (Sitta magna) and white-eared pheasant (Crossoptilon crossoptilon).

Yunnan Plateau subtropical evergreen forests

Both of these, the vulnerable Tibetan eared-pheasant (Crossoptilon harmani) and the closely related white-eared pheasant (Crossoptilon crossoptilon) are reported to be locally common.

But the Crossoptilon pheasant, and even the common pheasant, show that the tail feathers can be developed very early.
