The dominant and inferior have always been the law of nature, and in order to survive, species have evolved powerful bloodlines, such as the king of beasts - the tiger, standing at the apex of the biological world and standing proud.
A tiger with a face that can scare people.
There is an animal calledLynx, is not well known to people, but it is a terrifying existence in nature, and even the wolf has to scream big brother when he sees it.
The lynx belongs to the cat family, and if you look at it from a distance, there is a good chance that people will think of it as a cat, and even biologists suspect that the lynx and cats are inextricably linked.
But the lynx is much bigger than the cat and belongsMedium-sized carnivoresThe coat is also thicker than that of cats and prefers to live in cold areas.
Lynx with their own fur in cold places.
Lynx have a heavy body of hair to resist the cold, and it is not that they are afraid of the cold, but that the environment is not cold enough to cause the hair to become a burden.
The vast majority of lynx are found in:Cold temperate zone, they can be found in northern Canada and the Nordic Belt, which are so cold that they are off-limits for most animals.
Even a small number of lynx live below 30 degrees north latitude, these lynx are found in highlands above 3,000 meters above sea level.
As long as it isCold environmentLynx can adapt to almost everything, from snowy taiga forests to alpine steppe areas.
In terms of appearance, the biggest difference between the lynx and the cat is that the lynx has two clumps of cats on the tips of its erect ears, and its expression is solemn, like a lion.
To put it simply, the lynx temperament is more withAn unruly beastmore similar, while cats are more docile.
However, the cuteness of the lynx is not inferior to that of the cat, and the hairy body has gray and white hair, which varies according to the breed, and the large claws like meat balls make people can't help but go up and touch the two.
But don't be fooled by the appearance of the lynx, it's actually quite a terrifying beast.
Although the lynx is medium in size, it likes to hunt prey larger than itself, such as medium-sized and large herbivores such as roe deer.
The lynx, with a gloomy expression, looks very difficult to mess with.
Not dominant in size, but the lynx is still veryThere are tricksBefore hunting, the lynx will deliberately hide its whereabouts and move in secluded places for a long time, making it difficult for the prey to detect the danger coming.
When faced with predators, the lynx also behaves very intelligently, and it will be the first to beFlee to the treesHide, observe the situation around you, and wait until the crisis is over.
Moreover, the lynx's sense of sight, hearing, and smell is quite developed, and the lynx is often aware of the crisis before the natural predator discovers the lynx.
Lynx can also swim, but they don't like to swim because their wet fur makes them uncomfortable, but they will still jump in if they are chased by predators and corneredIn icy cold water
The lynx has good swimming skills.
In a crisis situation, the lynx will also play dead, so as to avoid the fatal damage of the opponent, and the phrase "the big husband can bend and stretch" is very suitable for the lynx.
Therefore, the lynx is rarely attacked by natural predators, but when faced with a pack of wolves, the lynx has no choice.
Lynx is a solitary animal, and cunning wolves will surround it, making it difficult for it to escape.
If there is a chance to escape, the lynx will not give up, and when the next year comes, the lynx will be againRevenge on the wolves, and thus the two species formed a bad bond.
The first feud between the wolf and the lynx was on the diet, and the two had basically the same type of food and were of the same size, leading to a situation where the two sides competed for food.
The lynx has good swimming skills.
But both wolves and lynx are quiteHold grudges and be wiseHow can they easily let each other go.
In winter, wolves like to fend off the cold winter in packs, and when the wolves see the lynx, the lynx is beaten badly.
And in the summer, when the snow melts and there is enough food, the wolves no longer act in groups, and the lynx's chance for revenge has arrived.
The lynx will be in front of the wolf's den, looking for an opportunity to willThe wolf cub bites to death, or look for a lone wolf and go heads-up.
Wolf Cub: Danger. In terms of heads-up ability, wolves are obviously inferior to lynxes, so the wolves in the summer suffered the humiliation of the lynx and decided to take revenge in the winter.
The resentment between the two sides has reached the point where it cannot be reconciled, but in general it is still a lynxBetter
Lynx are quite patient and can lurk in one place for days on end, and they are also very resistant to hunger, and a few days of lurking are nothing to the lynx.
The wolf cubs were playing happily in the den, and suddenly they were bitten to death by a "big cat", can the adult wolf not be angry?
However, the lynx runs after biting, and it is fast to run, and it can't catch up, and the most important thing is that the lynx has no fixed residence, and the wolf wants to take revenge and can't find a trace of the lynx.
Even lynx cubs run fast.
And no wonder the wolf is against the lynxHate it to the bone
The lynx's tree-climbing skills are top-notch, and a tree more than ten meters high can be climbed by the lynx in a few seconds.
After the death of the lack of food, the lynx will catch birds in the trees to eat, and when the birds fall asleep, the lynx will quietly approach and bite the sleeping birds.
They can also jump back and forth among the trees in the forest like monkeys, and their bodies are as light as swallows with dozens of kilograms.
The felines are all full of jumping skills.
At the same time the lynx isRock climber, being able to climb cliffs, also gives the lynx more opportunities to escape when facing predators.
It's hard to imagine such an all-powerful animal in nature, swimming, climbing trees, climbing rocks, having bravery, patience.
The lynx takes all of these advantages and lives in the natural worldMoisturizeHowever, even if you stand at the top of the pyramid of nature, you can't escape the clutches of human beings.
Today, the lynx is a second-class national protected animal, and it is illegal to hunt and sell it.
But in the last century and beyond,Hunting lynxIt's a fairly common thing.
First of all, the heavy fur of the lynx can be made into an overcoat, which is quite warm to wear, especially in the production of high-end products, and the products made from the fur of the lynx are full of grace and luxury, and there is a considerable market in the world.
Lynx: Love me and hurt me.
At that time, it was not illegal to hunt lynxes, and there was even a special competition for hunting lynxes, and the first place was able to get a huge prize.
All of a sudden, the lynx hunt spread, and many hunters became very rich by hunting lynx.
Since they could make money, there were more and more hunters in this business, and the speed of hunting exceeded that of lynxesReproductionThe number is getting smaller and smaller.
By the time people have just woken up from their interests, the lynx has beenEndangeredFinish.
Secondly, with the reclamation of natural land, many lynx have lost their original living space, some choose to migrate, and some have adapted to live in the same space as humans.
As wildlife declined, the lynx had less access to food, and the lynx had to enter human territoryStealing livestock
At this time, the lynx became the object of criticism, and the lynx with "unclean hands and feet" was considered a "pest" in nature, and it seemed reasonable for people to hunt lynx.
In the final analysis, it is the crowding out of the living space of the lynx by humans that will lead to such a result.
And finallyReligiously and culturallySome Europeans believe that the lynx is the embodiment of the demon "Satan", and the hair on the tips of its ears looks more like a mark of the devil to Europeans.
In the Middle Ages, before the rise of modern science, several large-scale hunting operations were launched to drive the lynx into the colder Arctic regions.
Today, the lynx is listed as a national second-class protected animal, and it has not reversed the endangered fate of the lynx, and hunters are still hunting lynxesNot legalinterests.
Don't let it just stay in people's memories.
And as the global climate warms, lynx must migrate to higher latitudes, so how much space is there in the Arctic for lynx migration?
You must know that global warming is already a major trend, and the earth will only get hotter and hotter in the future, and continuous migration is not conducive to the stable development of species.
As the so-called bell is solved, it must be tied to the bell person, fundamentally speaking, it is still necessary for humans to make itPractical actionand also give the lynx a suitable living space.
