Look, that stupid roe deer has suffered from heat stroke, not as good as us... Knock it out!
Our provinces have their own sacred beasts, Sichuan is a panda, Yunnan is an elephant, to ask who is the first "divine beast" in the northeast, that is of course a silly roe deer is also.
Northeast Divine Beast Silly Roe deer
It is also the only animal on the Internet that can fight an alpaca.
So people sent out soul torture questions: Silly roe deer are so stupid, why haven't they gone extinct? How did it survive to this day?
The stupid roe deer also has great wisdom, which explains what is called "silly and stupid".
Roe deer: You're stupid
Northeast silly roe deer
The scientific name of the silly roe deer is Siberian roe deer, and it is a deer family.
Some people will ask, then what is its relationship with the sika deer?
The sika deer is a deer genus of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er, that is, a pure deer family, while the silly roe deer is more biased towards the roe deer in terms of blood.
Roe deer are not too big, not yet 1 meter tall, weigh only 15 to 30 kilograms, and an adult can subdue them.
The male of the silly roe deer only has horns, the female does not have horns, both male and female are full of yellow-brown hair, and the mouth is dotted with a little white hair.
Roe deer turn back in the snow
In the event of danger, the roe deer's ass will explode, revealing white hairs, reminding his companions of danger.
At this point, the roe deer is not stupid, and knows that there is danger to inform his companions.
This is only its occasional operation, because more often than not, the silly roe deer stays where it is, curiously looking at the danger, without the slightest attention, and it is the prey.
Otherwise, why does the northeast old iron have the saying of "sticking roe deer", which means that the stupid roe deer is too stupid, standing still in place, people can go up to a stick to knock it unconscious.
White hairs on roe deer's ass
And the roe deer are still social, generally they will gather three or five, and the breeding season is more, maybe more than 500.
Then there is danger, they are collectively stupid there, is this not a total annihilation?
Roe deer are the food of many animals, such as Siberian tigers, wolves, bears and other carnivores, plus they are so stupid, it is reasonable to say that they will soon be eaten and extinct.
However, not only are they not extinct, but their footprints are spread throughout the northeast, Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan and other places, and the number is quite healthy.
It is estimated that there are about 1 million roe deer worldwide. This is also too strange, is the stupid roe deer hanging?
The "stupidity" of the silly roe deer is stupid for humans, but against the Siberian tigers and wolves, the roe deer do not seem to be stupid at all, but a survival king.
Roe deer are not afraid of the cold
Silly roe deer counterattack
We humans think roe deer are stupid, that's because we humans are too smart, what kind of animal can defeat humans in IQ in front of humans?
No, not even chimpanzees. The roe deer is not stupid, it depends on what it does in the face of its natural enemies.
Generally speaking, the natural enemies of silly roe deer are Siberian tigers, timber wolves, and brown bears, and when encountering these three predators, roe deer will indeed stand and watch, but this is not because they are stupid, but roe deer are analyzing the situation.
Roe deer have a keen sense of smell, and they have already smelled danger.
The number one predator of the robe is the Siberian tiger
Most mammals don't have as much color vision as humans, and roe deer are yellow-brown all over their bodies, blending in with their surroundings, and predators need to be very careful to separate them from their environment.
Roe deer observation is to see if the predator has the next move, so that they will choose whether to flee for their lives.
And being motionless increases the difficulty of the predator's hunting, which requires all of its attention to lock the roe deer in the color of the forest.
Roe deer are good at jumping, jumping directly up to 5 meters, even if covered with snow, they can escape at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. And the roe deer is very maneuverable, able to flash between the woods with complex terrain.
The roe deer's jumping ability is superb
Roe deer have a very good memory, remembering most of the routes in the forest, which helps them escape faster.
And during the food-starved season, they migrate, which requires some roe deer to lead the way.
Roe deer have a family concept, generally we see a small group of roe deer, is a female roe deer and her offspring, these offspring are either female or juvenile, only during the breeding season, adult male roe deer will be integrated into this group.
Female roe deer have a special skill that most mammals do not have, that is, delayed implantation of fertilized eggs.
Roe deer cubs
Female roe deer will adjust their pregnancy time according to the weather conditions to ensure that the baby roe deer born will not freeze to death.
After the roe deer is fertilized until it actually conceives a cub, there is a delay period of about 4 to 5 months for it to operate.
It is precisely because of this anti-heavenly breeding strategy that the survival rate of the silly roe deer cubs is amazingly high, and the roe deer will give birth to twins, and the twins will be raised.
That is to say, the mother roe deer will not choose between the twins unless it is a last resort.
Such a survival strategy, it is difficult for silly roe deer to endanger, and it is no wonder that the predator of flowing water, the stupid roe deer of iron.

The real enemy of the silly roe deer
For roe deer, Siberian tigers, timber wolves, and brown bears are not the biggest threats, although they will be preyed on by these three animals, but in the end this is a natural law.
Predators eat the old, weak, sick and disabled in the roe deer, to some extent, to optimize the population structure of the roe deer.
The real harm to roe deer is the hunting of humans.
In the 19th century, the Russian fur business was popular, so the roe deer hunted, according to statistics, during this period, the Russians hunted a total of 500,000 roe deer.
Illegal hunting of roe deer
Fortunately, the base of roe deer is really too large, and after this large hunt, the roe deer population remains in a healthy state.
Subsequently, the roe deer's habitat was cut down by humans, and the roe deer migration became more and more frequent.
However, no matter how large the base can not resist the wanton hunting of humans, more than 5 billion passenger pigeons can be killed, the size of the roe deer is certainly not as large as the passenger pigeon, so continue to hunt, the roe deer will one day become extinct.
Migratory roe deer
Roe deer are real mythical beasts for the forests of Northeast Asia.
First, large carnivores feed on it, and if roe deer are fewer, predators will run out of food.
Secondly, as a plant-eating animal, roe deer will loosen the soil in the process of walking and foraging, which is conducive to the growth of plants.
So for the forests of Northeast Asia to flourish, we must protect the roe deer.
On the mainland, roe deer are second-class protected animals, and in the early years of the northeast, the "stick-beating roe deer" was no longer possible in the wild.

Other mythical beasts in the Northeast
In the forests of the northeast region, in addition to the silly roe deer, of course, it is the Siberian tiger, which is the king of the northeast.
However, the Siberian tiger has dual nationality, it is called the Siberian tiger in Russia, and in China it is called the Siberian tiger.
The most famous of the Siberian tigers is The 1st Dashan, which entered the village to "do evil", killed many livestock, and made the local villagers panic, and finally had to be released.
Perhaps it was this experience that impressed Wandashan No. 1, and it was frequently cared for after that, as if it had found a long-term meal ticket for itself.

Another sacred beast in the northeast is called mink, which is the raw material of what we often call mink coats.
In the past, the mink coat was a wild mink caught, and later the mink was listed as a protected animal, and the northeasterners began to breed mink artificially, so the mink coat seen now is the fur of the artificial mink.
But even so, there are still many people who oppose mink coats, they think that in today's down jackets and artificial furs, there is no need to peel on a small animal.
Mink of the Northeast
Why do Kuma Yamato and Kumaji in the cartoon "Bear Haunting" have a Northeastern accent?
Because the northeast region lives the largest brown bear on the mainland.
Brown bears are more vigorous, they eat more meat, and only eat vegetarian, honey, and fruit when food is scarce.
Brown bears in the northeast have the custom of hibernating, so silly roe deer can't touch brown bears in winter.
Bear Dai and Bear II
There are also silly roe deer relatives in the northeast, as the face of the deer family, the sika deer is a sacred beast in the mainland culture, a mount of various gods and immortals, and a symbol of auspiciousness and longevity.
Sika deer is not only beautiful, but also has high medicinal value, and deer antler velvet is also a specialty of the Northeast region.
Of course, these antler velvets are taken from artificially farmed sika deer.

Perhaps the silly roe deer is because of its maverick behavior, it has become the first "divine beast" in the northeast, and together with the pulling calf, the cat and the donkey, and the rolling calf, it is known as the "four sacred beasts of the northeast".
