Black sometimes gives people a mysterious, noble, elegant feeling, such as black roses, black wedding dresses, black animals; Among the black cats are black tigers, black panthers, black cats and so on. In India, researchers have tracked the life of a female panther.
Black panther is a black variant of the leopard, when the leopard suffers from "black disease", their coat color gene will be mutated, melanin is much higher than the normal pigment, it is a black body.
The panther went out to forage, smelled the deer, and secretly observed
In a protected area in India, a black panther went out to forage in the evening, the darker the sky, the smaller the chance of it going out to be found, it searched for a long time without finding a trace of prey, it continued to move forward, and walked a long way, only to smell a trace of the smell of the dolphin deer, it continued to track the smell forward, it saw a group of guinea deer, the panther aimed at one of the female sub-adults, but there was a strong male deer next to it, if it rushed to attack, the male deer would definitely come to the rescue.
Wait for the best time, slowly approach, and destroy the guinea deer in one move
At this time, the panther could only wait, it hid in the grass to observe their every move, waited for a long time, this sub-adult deer finally had a distance from the group, the panther slowly approached, after reaching a position that could hit a blow, it quickly attacked, combined with its sharp front paws and jaw, and captured the deer, so that it could have a good meal at night.
Eat any meat, "sea, land and air" covers
The Panther is an excellent jungle hunter, able to jump and move flexibly in trees, and can even kill langurs or gibbons in trees. Panthers feed mainly on the cubs of chamois and large ungulates. Of course, birds and fish are sometimes preyed upon. The panther is also an expert fisherman, patiently waiting for the fish to swim by on the shallow shore before suddenly jumping into the water and grabbing them with its claws and jaw. During the food-starved season, they also prey on frogs, lizards, locusts, and slugs. Occasionally, some sweeter plant fruits are eaten.
Don't dare to provoke the tiger, both sides are around each other, out of sight and not bothered
Black panthers also have animals that dare not be provoked, such as tigers, although they rarely meet and even deliberately circumvent each other's territory and area of activity.
If the two really have a head-on conflict, it is very unfavorable to the panther, in terms of size, the tiger is several times the size of the panther, and the strength is not the opponent of the tiger, but the highly nervous panther is not a good animal, if it is attacked by the tiger, it will also fight back, tightly grasp and bite the throat of the tiger, while the hind paws quickly attack the opponent's abdomen, which is more lethal. Even if the tiger wins in the end, it will still be injured, which is a feeling of killing ten thousand enemies and losing three thousand, so they are both bypassing each other, and they are not bothered.
Another enemy of the panther is the wild boar, when it hunts the wild boar cubs, the adult wild boar will launch a fierce counterattack, if it is straight, it is easy to be injured, even fatally wounded, it needs to rely on agile action to avoid, in order to escape the disaster.
Territory is inviolable and if challenged, it will be fought
Each black panther will have its own independent territory, male leopards generally do not allow other males to roost in their own territory, if found will roar to warn, the other party will leave and give up; The other side still stays, that is an inevitable hard battle. Territory that the winning party can get.
The estrus period is in and out of pairs, repeated mating, and then they live separately
During estrus, the panther generally releases a special odor to attract the nearby opposite sex to its territory. The estrus period lasts about 10 days, during which the male and female panthers will go in and out together, go out hunting together, walk together, and mate repeatedly during this time. After the estrus period, the male and female leopards will separate and live alone.
The female nurses the young children alone, and after 2 years the cubs can go out and occupy the land
After the mating period, the male leopard still lives its free life and does not need to take any responsibility for the female leopard; And the female leopard began its gestation life, the gestation period is about three and a half months, more than 100 days after the cub will be born, a nest of about 2-4, just born cubs have no ability to move, even the eyes are still closed, the weight is about a pound or so, very small, need the female leopard careful care.
The female leopard lives with the cub for two years, and for the cubs, the mother leopard will take care of the cubs, and if she feels the slightest danger, she will take the cubs away. When the cub is 3 months old, the female leopard will take the cub out to go out with the cub, and as the cub grows, the mother will teach it all the survival skills, and even take it out for internship hunting.
The trees are flexible and can also hunt monkeys
The panther likes to perch on trees, and it adapts well to life in trees. It can even sometimes "juggle" in trees, and with its flexible body, it can climb to very thin branches, jump around on trees, and be agile enough to hunt animals such as monkeys in trees.
Drag the prey to the tree, eat it in the tree, and sleep in the tree
Sometimes, in order to avoid other opponents who spy on the spoils, the black panther, after killing the prey, drags the prey to the tree, places it on a high place, and then slowly enjoys it. The panther can hunt in the trees, eat in the trees, sleep in the trees, and live more comfortably in the trees than the birds.
It is not only good at climbing trees, but also swimming, and sometimes even sneaking capybaras in the water, of course, most of the time they are in the water, to bathe or cool down, occasionally hunting by the way, after all, underwater combat is not so handy.
Dressed in black, heroic and sassy, running at a speed of 70 km / h
The panther has a gorgeous black leopard print coat, dark and shiny, and the silky luster makes the fur show a rare high-class beauty. It has a well-proportioned body, a healthy posture, a keen sense of smell, hearing, vision, and hearing, a running speed of 70 km / h, a jump of 6 meters, 3 meters high, and a high comprehensive material, known as the "all-around champion".
The panther is mainly distributed in Malaysia, Thailand and India, and is a tropical humid forest animal. There have also been reports of discoveries in southwest China, which were called Xuan Leopard in ancient times on the mainland.
