Have you ever heard of a strange animal that looks silly but is extremely witty: the silly roe deer, known as the "long jumper in the woods"?
Despite their physical strength and swift gait, why do they behave so helplessly in the human world?
It's not pretending to be stupid, it's really stupid
The curiosity of the roe deer led them into a difficult situation. When they meet strangers, they often can't help but get closer, or even break into someone's yard.
This behavior exposes precisely one's own weaknesses and makes oneself an easy target for hunting. Even those clever roe deer can't really understand why their IQ suddenly disappeared at this time.
In fact, roe deer are not really that stupid. This is simply because they have developed a fixed mindset in the way they deal with predators in their natural environment and cannot immediately adjust to them.
For example, when they spot a tiger or wolf, they usually choose to leave immediately and remain vigilant until they are sure it is safe. However, for humans who wear clothes and walk slowly, due to their lack of sufficient experience, they will be mistaken into believing that these people do not pose a threat to themselves.
In addition to this, there is another reason why the roe deer appears ignorant in this seemingly familiar and unfamiliar urban environment. That is the existence of transportation.
These various machines not only caught their eye, but also aroused their strong interest. As a result, many roe deer will stand on the side of the road to admire and test, and sometimes even dare to cross the road, as if they are competing with a car to see who can run faster. Such behavior undoubtedly increases the risk of injury to the roe deer.
Although changes in the environment have led to a great change in the Xi and behavior of the roe deer, this cannot be all blamed on the ignorance and naivety of the roe deer itself.
We should be aware that human behavior also entails a certain amount of responsibility. For example, massive urbanization and overexploitation of natural resources have caused many wild animals to lose their original habitat and be forced to migrate to unfamiliar areas in search of life possibilities.
In some places, roe deer populations have begun to recover gradually, thanks to increased awareness of environmental protection and the implementation of relevant ecological protection measures. By establishing protected areas and prohibiting illegal hunting, we can help these lovely creatures find their homes and realize the vision of living in harmony with humans.
The phenomenon of "silly roe deer" tells us that no species can ignore the pressure it is facing to survive, and only by adapting to the environment, learning Xi and innovating can it continue to develop. At the same time, we should also think about how to better respect the rights and interests of every life and jointly build a more friendly home on the earth.
A real Northeast mythical beast
The roe deer is a mammal native to the Northern Hemisphere and is often referred to as the "northern deer" or "reindeer". Despite their somewhat goofy appearance, they are actually very shrewd and alert, and highly adaptable to all kinds of harsh weather conditions.
Whenever a snowstorm comes, it is difficult for other animals to survive in such extreme conditions, but roe deer do not have this problem. This is because they possess a special layer of fur that resists the cold and maintains their body temperature. At the same time, due to the evolution over the years, their leg muscles have become stronger and stronger, and they are able to cope well with snow-covered roads.
The most amazing thing is the quick reflexes of the roe deer. This animal is said to be even better at sniffing than dogs!Yes, you heard it right, this phrase means that if you accidentally drop your lunch on the ground, it's best to leave the scene quickly, because it's likely that you've been spotted by a nearby roe deer before you can pick it up!
Not only on land, roe deer can also swim across rivers and lakes, which is one of the key skills they rely on to survive. When threatened by floods or other natural disasters, roe deer will immediately burrow into the water and swim to shore.
Roe deer do have excellent swimming skills, so in such a situation, even if the water level rises or the water becomes more and more turbulent, the roe deer can still win.
It is for all these reasons that the roe deer has become the best hardy warrior in the Arctic. However, unfortunately, with global warming and the increasing problem of human overexploitation of resources, the pristine ecological environment in many areas is suffering unprecedented damage, resulting in many wild animals facing unprecedented survival challenges.
Forest Elf: The Secret of the Silly Roe Deer
Known as the "forest spirit" in the deep forests of northern China, the silly roe deer is loved by many people because of its unique appearance and kind nature. It is a very intelligent small cervid, but it has a different kind of intelligence.
The silly roe deer is mainly distributed in Jilin, Liaoning, Inner Mongolia and other places in the mainland, and is one of the small deer species endemic to China. It is petite in size, generally no more than 65 cm tall, and usually weighs only about 8-15 kg. Most of the roe deer's body is brown, with some black spots on its body, and a vertical white line in the center of its back, which is particularly unique.
The silly roe deer is good at jumping, able to swim in water, and it has very good eyesight and sharp ears that can hear distant sounds. They live mainly on plants, such as grasses, young leaves, bark, fruits, seeds, etc., and change their hair twice a year, once in summer and once in winter.
The silly roe deer is most famous for its 'stupidity'. Actually, this is a misconception about it. In fact, the silly roe deer is a very intelligent animal, and it has a special intelligence that can make correct judgments and decisions in complex environments.
One of the most representative examples is how they react when confronted with danger. When attacked by wolves or other beasts, the silly roe deer will choose to give up resistance and choose to hide rather than fight. That's why many people call it a 'silly roe deer'.
Although the ecological environment of the silly roe deer is relatively extensive, due to the destruction of human factors, the survival of the silly roe deer still faces serious problems. At present, the number of silly roe deer is gradually decreasing worldwide, and it has been included in the list of national first-class key protected wild animals.
How to protect endangered roe deer
Protecting endangered roe deer is everyone's responsibility. In order to ensure that they continue to survive and reproduce in the natural environment, we need to take a series of measures to protect their ecological environment and living conditions.
We should strengthen habitat protection for roe deer. Roe deer typically live in dense forest environments such as forests, forest edges, and grasslands, which provide abundant habitat and food resources. However, due to increasing urbanization and human disturbances, these habitats are being destroyed.
We need to limit destructive practices such as forest exploitation and illegal logging, and protect the integrity and ecological balance of forests. At the same time, through rational planning of local agriculture and tourism development, human disturbance to the habitat of roe deer will be reduced, so that roe deer can grow and reproduce freely in the natural environment.
In order to combat the killing of roe deer, we need to crack down on illegal hunting and illegal trade. Although roe deer are protected by law, there are still criminals who take advantage of the hunting season, illegal trade and concealment methods to hunt and sell roe deer.
We need to strengthen regulation and intensify the fight against illegal hunting and trade, as well as strengthen training and improve the awareness and skills of law enforcement officers on roe deer conservation. In addition, we also need to raise public awareness of conservation and strengthen publicity and education on roe deer protection, so that more people can understand the importance of roe deer and the urgency of conservation work.
For roe deer that strayed into human settlements, we should take a humane approach to drive them back into the wild. Due to the continuous expansion of urbanization, some roe deer will accidentally break into human settlements in search of food, leading to conflicts with humans. In this case, instead of killing and fishing, we should take steps to drive them back into the wild.
epilogue
Protecting the endangered roe deer is a national action that each and every one of us should work towards. By strengthening the protection of roe deer habitats, combating illegal hunting and trade, and humane handling of roe deer that have strayed into human settlements, we can create a safe environment for roe deer to continue to grow and reproduce freely in nature.
Protecting roe deer is not just about protecting one species, it's an important measure to protect the entire ecosystem. Let's work together to hold up a blue sky for roe deer!
