Hey, social journalism explorers! Today, I'm going to take you on a journey through the snowfields of the north to uncover more of the secrets of the mysterious Eurasian lynx. Don't miss out on this feast of life in the northern polar regions!
Eurasian lynx: The Megatron of wolf cats, known as the ceiling of medium-sized cats, they are not only small in size, weighing 18-32 kg in adulthood, but also have two tufts of hair growing on their ears, like two antennas. What kind of hunting skills does this "wolf cat" have, which is amazing?
Eurasian lynx: the perfect definition of a snow hunter These lynx are cold and intolerant, and the heavy snowy days in the north are not an obstacle for them, but a hunting ** moment. Recently, a photographer photographed two lynx in the Lancang River basin in Qinghai Province, China, cruising and hunting in the snow-covered mountains, showing amazing coordination and graceful movements.
Co-op Hunt: The cunning lynx kills two birds with one stone on a hillside when two lynx spot a hare grazing on the last bit of grass. One of the lynxes approached with agility and showed great ambush skills, successfully capturing its prey. However, the cooperative hunt was not as harmonious as one would have hoped, as a lynx, after successfully capturing a hare, secretly ate solitary food in a hidden rock crevice.
Stealing and eating alone: The cunning lynx reveals its true faceThis lynx not only hugs its prey tightly in the process of eating alone, but also shows its actions to protect its food. It turned out that even among the lynxes, the competition for food was so fierce. This cunning scene is an eye-opener, and the social rules of the Eurasian lynx are really hard to guess!
Social lynx: Solitary illusion is brokenEurasian lynx has long been thought to be solitary animals, however new research has found that they may be more social than we think. In the Nalipoki forest of Belarus, male lynx lives with females around estrus and participates in more responsibilities during their childhood. This kind of social behavior really gives us a more comprehensive understanding of this mysterious animal.
Family grouping: The Eurasian lynx is in bonding season, where male and female lynx live together and cooperate in foraging for food. And after the female lynx has successfully conceived, the male lynx leaves. But in studies in Belarus, some males live with females before estrus and take on more responsibilities during rearing, including hunting and feeding.
Siblings Together: In addition to spending time together as a "husband and wife", the Lynx's siblings will also play together as adults. After leaving their mothers, they do not immediately disperse, but continue to live together. By working together, they build their future territories and spend weeks and months together in order to survive. This social lynx group is really a subversion of our lynx cognition!
In this northern snowfield, the Eurasian lynx is not only a master of hunting skills, but also a singular embodiment of social rules.
