As the saying goes, "Tigers don't make threats, you and I are sick cats", when it comes to tigers, almost everyone is afraid, because tigers have always been a relatively fierce species in people's hearts. But this is not, there is a strange thing in the Beijing Wildlife Park, there are really people who treat the "tiger as a sick cat", and even when the safari park is self-driving, a tourist suddenly gets out of the car and rushes to the tiger group, which makes many people "eye-opening".
This is a tourist wearing a dark down jacket who got out of the car without permission, did not listen to the persuasion of the staff in the park, rushed to the tiger group, and actually sat down in front of 7 white tigers, these 7 white tiger groups did not make any aggressive movements, but some white tigers were wandering. What's going on here? Tigers are afraid of people and dare not attack? Why not attack people?
tiger
Tigers are called the "King of the Hundred Beasts" also because they are very fierce, it belongs to the mammalian big cat family, and often lives in tropical rainforests, evergreen broad-leaved forests and other areas, tigers have a total of 9 subspecies, but most tigers are facing extinction or disappearance. China is also the main area of tiger distribution, mainly Siberian tigers, South China tigers. However, it is a pity that the South China tiger in the wild in China has declared complete extinction, and only the Siberian tiger can be seen in the wild.
And in recent years, China has also increased the artificial breeding of South China tigers, hoping that the future can restore the wild population of South China tigers, this is not, for Chinese tigers "release tigers back to the mountains", Longyan has been working hard, established the Meihua Mountain China Tiger Park, the project invested 14 million yuan to build an area of nearly 7,000 acres of "China Tiger Park", to carry out south China tiger wild breeding, Plum Blossom Mountain has bred more than 60 South China tigers, the future after the rewilding, will be possible to release.
Therefore, in the future, the South China tiger in the wild in China will likely return to our vision. However, among all tiger populations, tigers are very aggressive, and the hunting of species in the food chain can be described as "fatal", why? Because tigers have the most sophisticated offensive weapons - thick teeth, retractable claws. Let's take the Siberian tiger as an example, for example: this year, the wild Siberian tiger entered the village and smashed the car window with one slap, which made many people frightened, which is enough to prove its strength.
Adult Siberian tigers have very strong teeth, very thick teeth, cone-shaped, when attacking animals, only need to bite the deadly "blood vessels" can be locked to death. The tiger claws are also very hard, sawtooth hook claws, 5 very sharp tiger claws when used, can be automatically contracted.
Therefore, these characteristics provide favorable conditions for tiger predation. When tigers prey, they are unusually fierce, swift and decisive, with the principle of expending the least amount of energy to obtain the greatest possible harvest, which makes them almost no natural enemies, so they stand at the top of the food chain
1 visitor to the zoo provokes 11 white tigers! Why wasn't it attacked?
According to the report, this tourist sat in front of 7 white tigers, but the "Beijing Wild Animal Park" issued a statement showing that there were actually 11 white tigers in the exhibition area. Tourists did not heed the rescue password of the staff, climbed from the bottom of the isolation ditch to the side of the exhibition area to challenge the "tiger wei", and constantly provoked the animals with words and actions when they confronted 11 white tigers in the exhibition area.
So why don't tigers dare to attack? In fact, there are some factors in this, that is, because there are a variety of safety protection facilities and equipment in the exhibition area, one of which is a hidden device that plays a key protective role, so that there is no substantial contact between the intruder and the animal.
After that, the park successively used food lures, firecrackers and other methods to drive the animals away from the exhibition area, and then subdued and taken away the intruders. Therefore, the key factor is that the Beijing Zoo has taken good measures, which may have reduced the attack of the tiger, which can only be said to be lucky, if it is really attacked, it is estimated that this person is already unrecognizable.
From the perspective of tiger food, it is generally to prey on large mammals, including various wild deer, wild sheep, bison, wild boar, etc., and also eat berries and large insects when there is time, etc. Tigers eat 17-22 kg per time, and each meal with a large body can reach about 30 kg. However, although there is no direct indication of tiger cannibalism in the food chain, sometimes the hungry tiger will also prey on human livestock and even kill people, which will only happen in special circumstances.
Moreover, according to the normal situation, the general tiger will not attack people, unless it is a person who directly hurts, stimulates it and other factors, which will lead to the tiger's attack. Therefore, the way these 1 tourist provoked 11 white tigers may indeed trigger the attack of the tiger, fortunately, there is not, which may also make many tourists "pinch a handful of sweat", which is the general situation.
Therefore, in fact, it is not that the tiger is really afraid of people, if it is really stimulated, these 11 tigers collective attack, it must be "either dead or injured". If you stand in the essence of the tiger, in fact, the tiger is also a little afraid of people, but the creatures have a "self-defense" situation, not to say that they dare not resist and take the initiative to attack when they are afraid, this is not the same thing at all, here also reminds everyone that when encountering animals, we must avoid conflict with each other, which is the general situation.
Extended reading: If you are attacked, can you use a dagger to kill the tiger?
When it comes to tigers, everyone may think of the "Wusong fighting tigers" thing, tigers have deadly characteristics, and people encounter basically "elephants pinching ants". The tiger can jump about 8 meters at a time, and can easily jump over 3 meters high obstacles, and its running speed can reach 50-65 km / h, so people can't jump so high, can't jump so far, and can't run so fast.
When the tiger pursues, people will be easily caught, and 1 tiger is difficult to defeat, let alone 11 tigers. At the same time, the tiger directly inserts the tiger's claw into the body of the prey, directly "one pull", that is also fatal, attacking the heart indeed, can be easily fatal within 1 minute and so on. So for people, these are the shortcomings of human beings. Many people say that if the tiger leaps and attacks, and we take a dagger and poke it directly into the tiger's heart, is there a chance of winning?
In fact, it doesn't work, people don't react as fast as tigers, maybe when you just take out the dagger, it is estimated that you have already caught it immediately, so there is no chance of winning. When we encounter tigers, we can only stay away, do not try to get closer, provoke, etc., so as to save our lives.
But in the end, it is emphasized that tigers are protected wild animals, whether you are in the zoo or in the wild, you must protect well, tigers do not generally attack people, but deliberately provoke, trigger tiger attacks, etc., as long as they are counterattacked, it is basically "falling into the tiger's mouth", do not underestimate the strength of tigers, this is the general situation.
