This is really a rare thing. In Beijing's Shidu Mountains, on August 31, local residents said that they saw a "cheetah" in the mountain, and then, after several days of searching, they finally found the "cheetah", but it was actually a cat.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > African "little cheetah" appeared in Beijing</h1>
The "little cheetah", which is less than 1 meter long and looks obviously a "juvenile", the search and rescue team staff said that the "little cheetah" appears to have a serious malnutrition problem, and the most important thing is that it looks like a leopard we are familiar with, and it does not look very different.
In the end, after expert identification, this "little cheetah" is a serval cat, which is a kind of large cat, but the spotted pattern on the body makes it look similar to a "little cheetah".
Some friends may ask, since this serval cat was found in the mountains of Beijing, and it does not look like a human pet, and we have not seen it in zoos, does it mean that this is a very rare wild animal?
In fact, we do not understand the serval cat, which is not surprising at all, because the serval cat itself is not a native species of our country, in our country, there is no wild serval cat, they are like lions, are endemic species of the African savannah, naturally, it is normal not to understand it.
Therefore, this time the African "little cheetah" serval cat appeared in Beijing, does not mean that it was introduced by China, in fact, it may be illegally raised by the local or nearby residents for a period of time, for some reasons, it was abandoned, or the serval cat stole out on its own after it became an adult.
Because although the serval cat is not a species in China, but because they also have great scientific research value, therefore, killing allows professional scientific research institutions to introduce and breed, so, in Our country, the serval cat is also a national protected animal, naturally, ordinary people raise serval cats, that is, illegal acts.
However, although serval cats are not cheetahs, in fact, their danger is not less than that of cheetahs, because serval cats themselves are out-and-out carnivores, and we all know that in the African savannah, wild animals have always been in the state of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and this is the case with serval cats.
Therefore, the serval cat running into the wild is still very dangerous for people, fortunately, this time it was found in time and did not cause any terrible consequences.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="21" how scary is > serval cat? </h1>
Although the serval cat looks a bit like a cheetah, the serval cat has longer limbs and is more flexible. According to the data, the serval cat has a strong bouncing power, and they are also very fierce, and they are a very impatient animal.
Because although serval cats are not small from the perspective of felines, there are still no small differences with big cats such as lions and tigers, and serval cats are very hungry animals, which causes them to basically not eat during the day, or on the way to find prey.
And serval cats and many carnivores, when eating, will bite differently, the serval cat itself is not very large, so when the serval cat hunts, it is also the choice of smaller animals, which leads to them often swallowing the whole prey in the stomach, especially for small rodents, the serval cat is a bite, a meal to eat at least nearly 20.
Nowadays, with the continuous improvement of living standards, there will always be people who want to raise some special pets, so as to ignore the laws and regulations of the country and illegally raise some animals, which also leads to the illegal breeding of serval cats in the folk, because if you raise serval cats from a young age, you will find that they are very cute, but with the growth of serval cats, their temperament is also quietly changing.
Especially if in addition to the serval cat in the family, there will be other pets, basically accompanied by the growth of the serval cat, one day, will become the food of the serval cat, naturally, it will lead to some people in the illegal breeding of serval cats for a period of time, found that they are not as easy to domesticate as imagined, and even pose a threat to safety, they will be abandoned.
Just like the serval cat found in the Shidu Mountains of Beijing this time, researchers believe that it is very likely to be abandoned after being illegally raised, after all, if it is a wild serval cat, there is no possibility of malnutrition, of course, wild serval cats can not appear in the natural world of our country.
What's more, because the serval cat is a nationally protected animal, their breeding, are required to go through various procedures, and every serval cat in Our country is also documented, naturally, the current legal breeding of serval cats, all are in normal condition, there is no loss of the situation, so this serval cat may also be illegally raised.
