There is a creature that resembles a miniature cougar, and sometimes looks like a dog. He has an extra-long beard, even as long as his head, and two large round ears on top of his head. Although he is very similar to a feline, but he can leap between the woods, he is the Falklands mongoose, the Falklands is the island of Madagascar, it is said to be the meerkat of the island of Madagascar, this creature is called the strongest carnivore in the Falklands, so how strong is his combat power? Let's take a look.
In 1996, a zoologist named Dora saw the creature in a national park in Madagascar and named it FossaShe observed that the creature could jump repeatedly on branches quickly, had a long tail that kept it balanced, and was as agile as animals like monkeys, and that he used skill to win his daily predation, usually feeding on birds or mammals. So primates such as monkeys are his most passionate food. The Matsushima mongoose has the most vigorous experience, and will choose to wait for the attack at a certain time according to his habits, day or night, his whereabouts are haunting, and he is the most stealthy killer both day and night. Although he has strong combat power, it is very inconsistent with his figure.
The Falklands meerkat looks like a miniature version of the cougar, so his nickname is also called the Little American Lion, and if you look at a single organ of the body, he has the mark of a dog on his body, so his animal subjects are neither a dog nor a cat. He was short in stature, but very muscularThe average weight can reach 5 to 10 kilograms, and the height of the shoulder blades is about 80 centimeters. In accordance with the common sense of nature, males are larger than females. He was covered in a thick brown fur with a very shiny glow, which reflected the light in the sun**. He's one of the best in an animal of this size, but you wouldn't think that this creature has no natural predators.
The Meerkat lives on the island of Madagascar, because the mainland is separated, so the island is isolated, there are no large predators on this island, he has no natural predators, so almost all the creatures on the island become food for the Meerkat of the Falcleset. Whether it is a bird flying in the sky, a thin beast running on the ground, or a fish swimming in the water, it will become his meal, and because there is no competition with the same animal, the Meerkat does whatever he wants on this isolated island and becomes the island overlord. But this creature has a withdrawn personality and remains single and solitary for most of its life. Only during the short period of mating do they come together in pairs or groups. There is a little bit of a lonely killer, lonely and noble. This killer is a bit cold and very territorial, they mark their territory with their scent, and there are very few cases of attacks between their kind, except during mating season.
The animals in ** also have a cute side, the weight of the newborn of the Meerkat is only 100 grams, and it takes a full 15 days to open your eyes to see the world. At 15 to 20 months of age, when they reach maturity, they leave their mothers and start their own wandering life. At first, it lived comfortably with them, and although it had no natural predators, its numbers began to decline wildly when humans set foot on the island. It's not just that humans have hunted them, but that human dogs and wild animals have brought rabies into the island, and they have become threatened by the disease.
The Falklands meerkats, which used to dominate the islands, are now facing the danger of genocide, and they themselves would not have thought that even if there were no natural predators, they would have the miserable situation they have today, so living in an overly comfortable environment is sometimes not a thing to celebrate, and being born in sorrow and dying in peace is the concept of survival that every creature should have.
Now do you really know about the Falklands? Is there any pity for him?
