When it comes to ocelots, I'm afraid few people know what this is sacred.
But when it comes to "Shihu", it must be part of the hometownNetizens who live in the mountains have seen it.
It turns out that the color of this "divine beast" resembles a ** tiger, judging from the size alone,It is about the size of a domestic kitten.
Since they are both felines, there are many similarities between leopard cats and domestic cats, and if you don't look closely, you can mistake the leopard cat for a rare breed that is owned by someone.
But let's not be fooled by this cute appearance, and don't even think about reaching for it!
Because under the harmless appearance of humans and animals, there is hiddenA more insidious and cunning personality than a wolf!
The ocelot looks like a miniature version of a tiger, so it is more popular among the people to call it "stone tiger".
Its body length is only 500 700 millimeters, and in the past, our perception of wild beasts was measured in meters, but in the face of this one, we can only do special things.
However, don't look petite, this ocelot is a real beast!
As a ferocious beast, its weight has made the beast family "lose face", and the largest is only 3 kilograms.
Can you believe that there are beasts in the world that weigh less than 10 pounds?
Perhaps only shrinking can dispel people's fear of ferocious insects, so there used to be quite a few people salivating over ocelots.
They don't really like to eat meatInstead, he was attracted by his cute appearance and beautiful fur.
There is no killing without buying and selling!
There used to be a big hunt for ocelots.
Their leopard-like patterns are loved by people, and their tiger-like tails tug at poachers' heartstrings.
Some of them plan to poach and take them to their own homes to play, while others collect their furs and send them to the market to sellAnd at that time, there were not a few people who were willing to pay for it!
Not only that, but even the habitat of the ocelot has been severely damaged due to various random reclamation by people.
So the number of leopard cats in China has long declined sharply, so that it has become the most "faceless" beast, there is no one!
But this petite weight does not mean that its combat effectiveness is weak!
The truth is the opposite of what we imagined......
Ocelots have more hunting methods than wild wolves!
People used to talk about the "wolf" color change, this is because the wolf pack is not only full of attack power when it hunts as hunters, but sometimes it will come up with some tricks and tactics.
Instead of having the size of an elephant, which only affects the speed of hunting, wolves have evolved into agile torsos with powerful limbs and amazing bite force.
These advantages that the wild wolf is proud of are more vividly reflected in the ocelot.
We often mention that what is concentrated is the essence, and one meter is not enoughThis is especially true for beasts under 10 pounds.
Moreover, the ocelot is also a member of the feline family, and the speed and strength of the feline are basically not inferior to the opponent who is a lap older than him, and God seems to have secretly filled it with agility.
Whether it's hearing or smelling,All are far superior to other animals of the same size.
Therefore, as a natural killer in nature, ocelots are born with a strong ability to survive, and pheasants and hares usually use their agile movements to avoid being chased by predators.
But in the eyes of the ocelot, these are almost all left hand to right hand and slow motion.
Not to mention flying squirrels and some snake animals, so the ocelot cat will not easily come out of the deep mountains and old forests, once it comes out to sneak attack people's domestic animalsIt shows that they are really exhausted.
When people think of "cat", they usually think of a series of words that express gentleness, such as docile, non-clingy, and cute, but the ocelot has nothing to do with gentleness in nature.
We must not be fooled by the "insidious and cunning" cuteness, who sometimes start to work without saying a word, just like the "flat-headed brothers" in the African savannahEven animals larger than their own size are on the hunting list!
When hunting, they will make more cautious decisions than wild wolves, and compared to the gradual tactics of wolves, ocelots are more inclined to take the head of the enemy general in the army, and then take the clothes to hide their merits and fame.
Once the prey is found, it will first hide itself, and then sneak to the best sneak attack position, usually choose the back of the prey, once the time is ripe, it will be as fast as a lightning boltNever give the prey a chance to fight back and fire a second shot.
In addition to the explosive body, the charming big eyes of Carslan on the ocelot face are equally deadly**!
In general, many animals are more afraid of the nightThis also includes us humans.
After all, the light at night is completely incomparable to that of the day, but the ocelot does not have such a problem, its natural large eyes not only allow it to have a wide range of vision, but also allow it to keenly lock on to prey that travels at night.
From this point of view, Carslan's big eyes make the ocelot eat at night, and other animals who want to eat supper will have to work hard to evolve their eyesight!
Despite the strength of the ocelot, it has never been able to be the animal at the top of the food chainAfter all, there are still humans at the end of the head!
can be in fact,Now no one dares to take the initiative to provoke the ocelot ......
In fact, ocelots often do things that are sorry for humans!
It turns out that the ** ocelot also has a nickname, called "Catching Chicken Tiger"!
Once the snow closes the mountain, no matter how strong the survival ability of the ocelot cat, there will be times when the performance is dismal.
After all, hibernation of hibernation, migration of migration, freezing to death,In this case, there is not much food left for the ocelot.
The chickens and tigers who were "forced to go to Liangshan" could only do some things to steal chickens and dogs, that is, to sneak attack human chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry while it was dark.
There are too many sneak attacks, so naturally I'm sorry for humans, but I'm sorry for it, and no one dares to mess with it now.
I didn't even dare to pull out a single hair, after all, for a long time, people's hunting caused its population to decline sharplySo much so that it has now become a national second-class protected animal.
To challenge the "authority" of the ocelot is to challenge the authority of the law!
However, this is not the only animal that steals chickens in winter, there are also well-known weasels!
This weasel is most afraid of geeseThere are also well-designed mechanisms.
People have completely different attitudes towards these twoAfter all, there was a "bloody lesson"!
Villager Lao Chen used to throw chickens and ducks every day, so he suspected that the beasts on the mountain came down to be demons, in order to catch the culprit, Lao Chen also specially asked a blacksmith friend to create a trap.
As a result, the next day, he did catch an animal that resembled a domestic catSo without saying a word, he eliminated the harm for the people!
Just when the elated revenge was avenged, the police station under the mountain knocked on Lao Chen's door, it turned out that Lao Chen inadvertently caught the leopard cat with a trap, Lao Chen didn't know that this was a national second-class protected animal, so he couldn't help but kill it.
Fortunately, Lao Chen actively cooperated and took the initiative to admit guilt and accept punishment, otherwise what was waiting for him would be endless prison!
I hope that the leopard cats can thrive in their own habitat under everyone's protectionMake your own contribution to the ecological balance of nature!
