China was once the country of "tigers and wolves", and it is also the birthplace of modern tigers, and there were 5 species of tigers living in the north and south of the great river, and now there are only a small number of distributions in the southwest hinterland and the northeast corner.
In a forest in the Russian Far East, there are all kinds of wild animals living, and of course, Siberian tigers. The Siberian tiger is the "brother" of the Far East, at the top of the biological chain, and plays an important role in balancing the entire ecosystem.
Interestingly, a tiger cub here, after losing the tigress, encountered a lot of trouble, and could not catch any prey, so it had to break into the human village and take the initiative to approach the human, perhaps trying to ask for help from the human.
In general, big cats try to avoid contact with humans. In this way, this tiger cub has no way to go against its animal nature and seek human help.
In fact, animals are also spiritual, who says it is not?
01 The tiger cub ran into the village hungry, sometimes lying on the road, sometimes wandering on the road, and the villagers thought they had come to ask for help
Here's how it went.
In the early morning, a villager in his 50s opened the door and was preparing to go out, when he suddenly found that on the road more than 100 meters away from his door, there lay a Siberian tiger, acting very tired and haggard, looking like a tiger cub.
Unexpectedly, since then, it has not left, often taking the initiative to approach the house, sometimes lying unscrupulously on the road, sometimes constantly wandering on the road, although the tiger has some vigilance against people, it has no vigilance and no intention of attacking.
Local villagers believe that the tiger cub came to the village to ask for help, so the villagers brought in animal experts. When the experts came to the village, they did not directly interfere in the life of the tiger cub, nor did they feed the tiger cub, but only closely monitored it. To do so, just hope that the tigress will come back and find her child.
Half a month later, the cub found something to eat in the nearby trash can, but the tigress never appeared. Normally, it is impossible for a tigress to give up a cub without an adult, but the tigress does not come looking for the cub, there is only one possibility, the tigress was killed, possibly killed by poachers.
02 The tigress entered the village and bit the big yellow dog, and the hunter tracked down and killed the tigress
The tiger cub's mother was really killed by the hunters.
In the early morning, the tigress did not catch her prey and sneaked to the neighboring village. It is also not afraid of people, and calmly walks into the village street, where some people are already eating breakfast. When he saw the tiger, he was scared and ran, and all kinds of screams and footsteps crowded together.
Not far away, a large yellow dog in the street was barking madly, and the tigress was worried that she could not find its prey, and the big yellow dog actually came to the door.
The tiger heard the barking of the dog, did not look at the chaotic crowd on the street, and ran directly toward the dog, only to see it roar, a few vertical leaps, and pounced on the big yellow dog. The poor dog, unsuspectingly pressed to the ground by the tigress, struggled a few times, and ran out of breath.
The tigress picked up the big yellow dog, crossed the streets and alleys, and walked out of the village very calmly under the terrified eyes of the villagers. However, it's trouble coming. Several hunters followed and entered the jungle. Led by hounds, hunters soon spotted the tigress.
When the tigress saw someone coming, she put down the big yellow dog and lay down in the grass, looking at the slowly approaching hunter with a tiger's eyes, and constantly roaring in her mouth. Immediately after, several gunshots rang out, and the tigress fell to the ground, motionless.
03 Eight-month-old tiger cub, after losing the tigress, escaped the attack of the lynx
The tigress did not return for a day, and the cub was a little hungry, and it looked around, hoping that the tigress would bring back some food. As a result, for three consecutive days, there was no trace of the tigress. Without the tigress around, the cubs are in danger of starvation and prey.
In this forest, in addition to the tiger, there is another cat, which is the lynx. It is reasonable to say that Siberian tigers prefer to prey on large animals such as red deer, while lynx prefer to prey on small animals such as hares, and their competitive relationship is not obvious.
But lyns generally play cards according to common sense, half of the young wolves are hunted by lynx, and for cunning lynx, even she wolves can't do anything. This time, the lynx found the tiger cub, and of course it would not let go of this opportunity.
The lynx used the bushes to cover themselves, lurked and waited for the opportunity to move, and when they saw that the tiger cub did not move, they crept closer, trying to take advantage of the tiger cub's lack of preparation and launch a fierce attack. Although the tiger cub is still underage, its sensitivity is still good. Before the lynx could get close, the tiger cub had already slipped away.
The lynx lost its hand, and instead of pursuing, it was very patient and continued to wait for the next target.
04 Tiger cub stole the prey of the wolf pack and was chased by 5 wolves, fortunately fast and escaped the tracking of wolves
Tigers are wolves' only natural enemies, and no predator can compete with wolves except tigers. The competitiveness of Siberian tigers and wolves is not only manifested in prey, their main prey is red deer, but also in other survival resources, including the threat to cubs.
On this day, the tiger cub found the carcass of a deer and quickly ate a few bites of meat. But it didn't know that this was the prey of the wolves. If the tigress was still there, even if there were more than 20 wolves, she would not dare to come forward to grab food.
The little tiger is eating, the wolves have already found the little tiger, but they dare not come forward, still observing whether there is a tigress next to them, waiting for a long time, have not seen the tigress come out, the wolf group now revealed a fierce face: facing a small tiger, it seems that the wolf wants to take revenge.
In the face of the raid of 5 wolves, the little tiger only blamed himself for not growing up, not having the ability to fight back, and could only give up food and flee.
However, the wolves are still cautious, it is a tiger after all! They lowered their bodies and walked slowly toward the tiger cubs, making no sound, and when the wolves were less than 5 meters away from the cubs, they began to sprint.
The tiger cub, who was concentrating on eating, also found the wolf pack at this time, so it immediately made a sharp turn and fled, and the wolf pack also turned and the speed also decreased, but it did not give up.
Although the tiger cub is small, its explosive power is very terrible, its maximum speed can reach 80 kilometers per hour, while the speed of the wolf is only about 55 kilometers per hour, so the wolf pack cannot catch up with the tiger cub.
05 Conclusion
In the past 10 years, we have heard the news that wild animals have invaded human settlements to feed. Humans occupy the very top of the ecological chain, constantly compressing the living space of other animals, even the tiger, who is the king of the hundred beasts, has already felt the great power of human beings and has to seek human help.
