Recently, a "beast" suddenly caught fire.
It also made the barrage fall into a panic: it was too terrifying, what kind of beast was coming?
Xiao IN followed the camera and finally saw the legendary beast, only to see that it had a firm gaze and was menacing.
Another tiger roar, it's really too fierce.
Good guys, is there anyone else in charge of this big scam?
The above is actually a clip from the BBC documentary "Big Cats", and many big bosses have said that we are talking about watching it with relish.
The round head and big eyes captured the hearts of many shovelers.
But it is not a stray kitten, but a black-footed cat endemic to southern Africa.
They are so named because their jio jio is black and covered with long black hairs to prevent burns when walking on the scorching sand.
The black-footed cat is a "big-headed species" with rounded brain shells that make up a large proportion of their bodies, and light brown bodies with black spots.
But with an average weight of only 1.6 kilograms, it is smaller than domestic cats and is the second smallest wild cat in the world.
Compared with those big fat orange cats, the black-footed cat is really a small one.
Don't look at them cute and loveable, black-footed cats are actually hunting machines on the African savannah that are emotionally affectionate and are banned from the world.
Big Cats also described them as "Africa's deadliest cat."
"It's really deadly, I'm going to die."
"I know that this cat is particularly ferocious, it will first kill its prey and then eat it!"
It is said that the black-footed cat can also pounce on an adult giraffe, and the little IN brain makes up the scene, it should be like this, right?
Black-footed cat: Giraffe, I can pounce on you (tears)
giraffe:...... Ah ~ I fell
Well stopped! The fighting strength of this group of little guys is really not weak at all.
The black-footed cat is the deadliest hunter in the entire feline family, and the hunting efficiency is very high, even reaching 60%.
In contrast, the hunting success rate of lions and leopards is only between 20% and 25%.
They love gerbils and can also catch small birds and locusts, among other things.
It can eat 10-14 rodents or small birds per night, and a black-footed cat can even exterminate 3,000 rodents in a year.
It's a little one, but it's a big stomach king.
(How much have you eaten?) Have you eaten your rice? ）
The condensed explosive power of the black-footed cat also makes many animals frightened to enjoy the hunting process of this "night killer".
When the moon was dark and the wind was high, it went out.
Black-footed cats are very patient and can move back and forth between the grasses, trying not to touch any grass so as not to be detected by alert prey.
They hunt decisively and rush through very quickly once they find a target.
As the body swings, it folds its limbs and presses it as close to the ground as possible, like a spring ready to strike.
Then jump in and live together! Before the prey could react, it was already dead.
Big eyes and fierce heart
However, the reason why the black-footed cat has been hunting is actually forced by "hunger".
Studies have shown that black-footed cats have a faster metabolism than other animals and need to eat a lot to replenish energy.
And they are nocturnal animals, not going out during the day, and foraging at night.
In addition, there is relatively little food in the desert area, and in order to find enough food, it is often necessary to walk 20 kilometers a night to find food.
A black-footed cat can eat food equivalent to 1/5 of its own body weight in one night.
However, even if it is fatal, the black-footed cat still cannot hide from the threat of the two-legged beast.
They are facing a problem, because they are too cute, and many netizens around the world buy them as pets at high prices.
Friends, please don't forget that black-footed cats are still wild animals, which is to be worn under prison!
Black-footed cats are animals that are accustomed to outdoor hunting and have difficulty adapting to the human environment, and these "desert dwellers" cannot survive after being poached.
Coupled with wild temper, small population, difficult to serve, and picky eating, why can't anyone think about it?
Keeping such a cat by your side is not equivalent to putting your neck on a knife, and maybe one day you will be targeted by it.
Most wild animals are afraid of sudden human concern.
Although little IN is also like you, I want to take a good rua, but this little guy, we still only look at it from a distance and not close to it.
"Whoops, happy Year of the Tiger, stay away from me."
