Recently reported a number of news about wild animals and plants, the northeast has appeared many times the trail of Siberian tiger activities, some people have seen a descending tiger, someone found the footprints of the extra-large cat family, Zhengzhou Yellow River wetland ushered in a variety of large birds, there are big bustards, there are black storks, as well as white pillow cranes, Chongqing field cameras have repeatedly photographed cherished wild animals, there are black langur monkeys and forest musk and so on.
All kinds of signs show that China's ecological environment has returned to the state of decades ago, the number and variety of wild animals and plants have multiplied, the wild food chain has begun to stabilize, those uncommon wild animals and plants have begun to meet with everyone, and our understanding of wild animals and plants is constantly deepening.
Even in densely populated coastal areas, there are uncommon rare wild animals, and recently, villagers in Huangjian Town, Tinghu District, Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, have found a "strange" wild animal that everyone does not know.
This animal has many obvious features, pointed mouth, brown hair, white tail, cheeks are very small, after seeing someone coming, hiding in a waste drainage pipe, frightened and whizzing, after experts confirmed on the spot, it is a relatively rare badger, belonging to the national second-level protected animals, no wonder many people say they do not know.
After inspection, it was found that the front paws of this badger were injured, fortunately, the injury was not very serious, the staff carried out a simple treatment of the wound, carefully put it into the cage to avoid secondary injury, and then quickly sent it to the nearby Dafeng District Zoo for professional care, and when the physical condition was fully recovered, it could be released in the wild.
What kind of animal is a badger, a dog or a badger? Speaking of canids, it is easy to think of domestic dogs, wolves, hyenas and wild dogs, in the African savannah, hyenas are very scary animals, with amazing bite force, or extraction professionals.
Speaking of ferrets, there are also many species, especially the flat-headed brother known as the "Three Brothers of Africa", which is notoriously fierce, disobedient to dry, no matter the occasion, the courage is far greater than the head, once in dozens of lions with a lion to dry, a big death, in fact, the flat-headed brother is not the original name, the original name is honey badger, the name and its fierce appearance do not match at all.
And the badger is a ferret, the size and flat head brother is similar, generally about 10 kilograms, the maximum can grow to 15 kilograms, although the dog looks thin, but the body of the badger is very fat, the neck is thick and short, the limbs are short, the tail is also short, the only place that appears thin is the face, looks like a dog face, this is the origin of the badger name.
Flat-headed brothers are so fierce, as the same family of animals badger will not be worse, very fierce, whether it is the front foot or the back foot has a claw similar to a sickle, the front foot claws are longer, can easily break the animal's body and cut off the animal, the snake also exists in the badger's recipe list, also like eating dachshunds.
There is a video showing that the badger only took two seconds to defeat a snake, from the back of the snake suddenly started, the snake has not reacted, it was bitten 7 inches later, and then the badger shook from side to side, after 2 seconds the snake broke into two pieces, and then the badger can slowly enjoy the food, I have to say, this way of hunting is really terrible.
Although the badger is not located at the top of the food chain, but the hunting ability is very strong, running on the ground, drilling underground, swimming in the water can become its food, in the season when there is no meat food, the badger can also eat vegetarian for a long time, sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts, wild fruits, and even the roots of plants can become its food.
Badgers can also adapt to a variety of complex environments, forests, grasslands, fields, lakes, dunes, is simply an all-round animal, so the survival of the badgers is very strong, and even some people call the badger is the Asian flat-headed brother, the African flat-headed brother is the honey badger, then the Asian flat-headed brother is the badger.
Although the badger is fierce, but the guts are not as big as honey badgers and tigers, they will not take the initiative to attack humans, so when we encounter the badger, don't be afraid, but don't take the initiative to provoke it, don't provoke it.
Badger also has an enviable fur, the surrounding hair is shown as gray and white, the back and limbs have a little black hair, the fur is dense and soft, the feel is very unusual, it is for this reason that there are artificial breeding of badgers, the purpose is to obtain noble fur, badger fur can be used to make high-grade fur coats, mattresses and collars.
Introduced most of the day, I believe that the badger has a certain understanding of this animal, the badger is not a dog but a badger, very fierce, known as the Asian flat-headed brother, although the wild badger is a non-endangered animal, but it is still one of the protected animals in Our country, do not hurt casually, people and nature and wild animals should coexist in harmony.
