In mainland Sichuan, Gongga Mountain, south of Kangding, is known as the "King of Shu Mountain" with an altitude of 7556 meters, which is rich in animal and plant resources, including many rare species, such as the snow leopard known as the "King of the Snow Mountain", and the lynx, known as the new "King of the Forest".
According to reports, in a village around Gongga Mountain in Sichuan Province recently, there was a lynx that went down the mountain to steal food, and the Tibetan mastiff who looked after the nursing home of the villagers came to a "narrow road to meet".
So, who won the battle between the lynx and the Tibetan mastiff?
Although from the point of view of ferocity, the strongest animal in the Gongga Mountain area should be the snow leopard, but because the number of snow leopards is extremely rare, and it is rare to see in gongga mountain, the lynx has become the most powerful existence in the Gongga mountain, and for the residents of the surrounding villages, the most headache-inducing animal is also the lynx.
Because although the lynx lives in the mountains and forests, but in the season of food shortage, the lynx often go down the mountain to steal food, for example, in the mainland Gansu, there have been lynx down the mountain to steal chickens raised by villagers, and then found and killed, of course, because the lynx is a national second-level protected animal, so although the lynx is at fault, the people who hurt it are also punished by law.
Therefore, under the blessing of the identity of protecting animals, the lynx went down the mountain to steal food, and the villagers were helpless, and over time, the clever lynx seemed to have discovered the "reverence" of humans for them, and became more and more arrogant.
For example, this time, in the small villages around Gongga Mountain, the lynx wanted to steal the sheep in the sheep pen, and at first, the big yellow dog in the villagers' home found it, but the big yellow dog was obviously not the opponent of the lynx, and was quickly frightened by the lynx to the side and did not dare to move.
The lynx, who thought he had succeeded, was preparing to eat a "mutton dinner", but he did not expect that in addition to the big yellow dog that did not dare to come forward, there were 2 Tibetan mastiffs in this villager's home.
When it comes to Tibetan mastiffs, we all know that in the highland areas of the mainland, Tibetan mastiffs are like "sacred beasts", and herders will also raise Tibetan mastiffs to drive away wolves.
In an instant, a "1-on-2" battle began, although the lynx is also known as the "new king of the forest", but the lynx is not large, their average body length, only about 1 meter, the maximum weight is only 50-60 pounds, which also makes the lynx in front of the strong Tibetan mastiff, from the point of view of size, does not have any advantage, not to mention that this is facing 2 Tibetan mastiffs at the same time.
However, the lynx's combat ability is still not to be underestimated, although it did not succeed in the end, but the lynx did not fall behind, but seeing that eating sheep was hopeless, this lynx was no longer in love with war, and "a false move" jumped out of the courtyard wall and fled.
And the Tibetan mastiffs that drove away the lynx, in fact, they also have a lot of wounds on their bodies, fortunately, these are two Tibetan mastiffs dealing with a lynx, otherwise, for the lynx who dare to fight with the wolves, it is likely that they will not be able to eat sheep, and they will eat "dog meat" instead.
So why are lynx called the new "King of the Forest", and how powerful are they?
Although the lynx is not large and comes alone, the lynx is very intelligent, they also like to ambush their prey in the trees, so even black bears and wild boars, when they see the lynx, will be far away, even the wolves will not "hard" with adult lynx, naturally, in the current tiger endangered mountain forest, the lynx will also be "one family", becoming the new "king of the forest".
Of course, due to its small size, the main prey object of lynx is still mainly small mammals, their main food source is hare, the rest is a variety of rodents and prey on some small birds, for roe deer, deer and other relatively large mammals, lynx are often to hunt cubs.
On the mainland, the number of wild lynx, about 70,000 or so, it can be said that there is no risk of extinction, and from a global perspective, lynx are distributed in many countries, and in Romania, it is also known as the "national beast", in the future, once the large beasts of prey have become extinct, the possibility of lynx ecological replenishment becoming a new generation of top predators in the earth's nature is also relatively large.
From the distribution point of view, in the living area of the lynx, their main opponents are snow leopards and wolves, of which wolves and lynx can be said to be each other's nemesis, because the lynx will specifically hunt young wolves during the breeding season of wolves, the purpose is to control the number of wolves, to avoid wolves from eating too much food, so that the lynx themselves are short of food.
Therefore, lynx is also an important "ecological balance regulator" in nature, for example, it can effectively control the flooding of hares, wild boars and wolves, and contributes greatly to the natural world. Welcome to leave a message and share it with us!
