In terms of personality, wild animals are very different from captive animals, wild animals are more vigilant about humans, captive animals have become accustomed to humans, but for beasts of prey, even if they are in a zoo, do not easily provoke them, they are still a carnivore themselves, it is likely to make people who break in to pay a heavy price.
Recently, in a zoo in Accra, Ghana, Africa, the staff found the body of a man in the cage of a lion, whose body had obvious lion bite wounds, as for the reason for the man's night entry into the lion cage, it is not known, why he jumped over the safety fence of several meters high, and also ventured into the territory of an adult male lion, an adult female lion, and two small white lions.
Local police are investigating the case, and zoo manager Alothai said the man's target is likely to be trying to steal the two baby white lions, because since the lioness gave birth to the rare white lion cubs last November, they have become very popular and attracted many tourists to visit, so that they are very valuable and used in black market trade.
The man who broke into the zoo at night was killed by a lion bite, and as for whether it was bitten by a male lion, or a female lion, or they joined forces to bite, there is no way to know, so the zoo will not do any treatment for these two adult lions for the time being.
The beasts living in the zoo do not know how to take care of the cubs in many cases, and even easily hurt the cubs, especially the female tigers and lions, it is easy to abandon the cubs of the beasts, so in order to take care of these animal cubs, the zoo will generally choose dogs and other breeding animals to replace, and these breeding animals will also be very conscientious to complete these raising tasks. The lioness with two little white lions is still very conscientious in protecting the calves, and when it is found that there are intruders trying to hurt the baby lion, she also shows a fierce side.
Captive lions are not as fierce as wild lions, but hunting is their instinct, coupled with their large size, sharp claws, if people are bitten by it, it is almost difficult to escape, so do not easily enter the lion cage and other habitats, otherwise it is easy to stimulate their hunting instincts.
- Why are white lions rarer
Felines are generally difficult to distinguish gender, and lions are easy to distinguish between male and female, lion hair is short, body color has light gray, yellow or brown color, male lion also has a long mane, mane has light brown, dark brown, black, etc., female lions do not have such mane, which is also the only male and female cat in the world.
The normal color of lion's hair is generally brownish yellow, earth yellow, etc., but they will also be caused by a rare genetic mutation, resulting in their discoloration to white hair lions, some white lions are pure white, and some white lions' body hair is not pure white, it is with mixed yellow, these white lions are relatively small in the lion population, there are about 100 in the world, and it is also a relatively rare animal.
Why are there so few white lions? On the one hand, not all lion species will have white lions, only the Kruger lions in African lions will appear white lions; Just like the white tiger, golden tiger, snow tiger, etc. among tigers, only Bengal tigers can appear in these colors, and other tiger species do not appear.
The white lion is not a lion with albinism, but white is not the protective color of the lion after all, this color is the obvious disadvantage of survival in nature, it is easier to become the target of poachers, it will be easier to scare away the prey, and even sometimes the white lion is difficult to join the brown lion group, will be expelled from the lion group, the lone white lion is almost difficult to survive in the grassland, so the wild white lion is more rare, most of them are artificially bred white lions.
Pay attention to the six dimensions of nature And let nature know nature!
