Some time ago, wild boars experienced a big change, that is, after 23 years of being a three-haves protected animal, they were finally kicked out. Most people applauded this decision, because wild boars are rampant in many parts of the mainland, destroying crops, breaking into villages and hurting people, but they can't fight yet, and now they lose this identity, which means that they will become "street rats".
However, soon experts from the National Forestry and Grassland Administration also said that kicking wild boars out of the list of three animals does not mean that they can be killed at will, because the ecological value of wild boars themselves still exists, and the "lifting of the ban" on wild boars is also regional, mainly for areas with a large number of wild boars.
Now many netizens can't sit still, why is it so difficult to eat wild boar? But in fact, here I want to say: even without this explanation, wild boars are not ordinary people who can be killed if they want to, and if the wild boar is not eaten by accident, it is normal for the wild boar to eat the meat, because the combat effectiveness of the wild boar is not covered.
"Almighty warrior" boar
Wild boar is an omnivorous animal, so there is actually no one in the beast, after all, this is the general name of the carnivore strong, but the real combat effectiveness of the wild boar is no less than the beast we often say. Why?
In our impression, domestic pigs are white and fat, eat, sleep and eat, and have no combat effectiveness at all, but if you raised pigs when you were a child, you know its strength. As an animal that easily weighs more than 150 kilograms, it weighs more than two adults, which makes it very powerful.
I remember when I was a child, when I killed the New Year's pig at home, four or five adults went up to subdue the pig together, and it was often gotten rid of, and even overturned on the ground and injured.
This is still a domestic pig that has almost lost its wildness after thousands of years of domestication, and it is even more remarkable if it is replaced by a wild boar. First of all, the boar's defense is almost full, if you touch the boar, you will first be pricked by its soft-looking hair, and secondly, you will be surprised by the boar's skin that feels like a thick piece of sandpaper, and this is the defense of the wild boar.
Relying on this very hard skin with an average thickness of 1.5 cm, the wild boar can even block the bullet in the fat layer, and it is difficult to hurt the internal organs, and this exaggerated skin actually comes from the wild boar's habit of rubbing against trees.
In addition to defense, wild boars are also very aggressive. First of all, wild boars are not relatively fat domestic pigs, their fat layer is very thin, almost all over the body is muscle, which makes the wild boar have a strong explosive power, when chasing, the wild boar can burst out of 40 kilometers per hour speed, which is equivalent to a second of wild boar can run out of 11 meters, faster speed and huge size, so that the wild boar has a strong impact ability, it can directly hit the same weight of the animal.
Secondly, the most powerful weapon of the wild boar is the fangs, the wild boar has two pairs of growing canine teeth, these two pairs of canines are very thick, sharp ends, under normal circumstances, this is a sharp tool for wild boars to dig, which can help them dig out underground root plants and worms, and even burrowing mice and snakes.
But in combat effectiveness, these two pairs of fangs have become lethal weapons, with a bite force of up to 200 kilograms, its canines can inflict fatal penetrating wounds on the other side, and in addition to the bite force, the wild boar can also use the impact force to attack with the canine teeth.
After looking at the attack and defense, let's look at the actual combat, many people want to fight a wild boar to play (eat and eat~), but for the vast majority of people, to engage in wild boar, and send meat is not much different, don't believe you see what is the record of the professional hunting team in the face of wild boar?
As early as the day of Double 11 in 2021, Jiangyou Wanbao Hunting and Rescue Center took the only professional hunting team in Sichuan, the Xiqiang Conservation and Hunting Team, to enter Miaoba Village, Yuli, Beichuan at the invitation of the Natural Resources Bureau of Beichuan Qiang Autonomous County to clean up wild boars here, and the hunting team was equipped with professional guns and hunting dogs. But despite this, on the first day of fighting, under the premise that a number of hunting dogs besieged a wild boar, a "head dog" worth 40,000 yuan was killed by a wild boar in seconds, when the hunting team arrived at the scene, the entire buttocks of the hunting dog were bitten, and after seeing the hunting team, the wild boar not only did not run, but accelerated and rushed over. Fortunately, the hunting team's marksmanship was accurate, and it hit the boar directly on the head, which knocked it down, and it was later weighed that the wild boar was only 140 kilograms.
As early as 2011, there was also an incident in Hunan where a wild boar was shot and injured by a wild boar, when the wild boar was hit by a hunter and did not die but rushed down the mountain, overturning a farmer halfway up the mountain, and then continued into the village below the mountain and bit another villager, and finally the wild boar fell to the ground after the gun was replenished.
It can be seen that even if you hold a gun, you may not be able to win the confrontation with the wild boar, once you do not hit the vital part, under the crazy pursuit of the wild boar, the life of the person is in danger.
Is it more dangerous for a person to encounter a wild boar than a bear or a tiger?
This statement actually comes from "one pig, two bears and three tigers", although in terms of individual combat effectiveness, bears are stronger than tigers (brown bears against tigers), and tigers are stronger than wild boars (one of its prey), but when people also encounter these three animals, this sentence is very accurate.
Because tigers are cautious and vigilant by nature, unless they are extremely hungry, they rarely take the initiative to attack people, and last year, the uncle who went up the mountain to chop firewood in Heilongjiang was able to escape from the tiger's mouth because of the tiger's cautious character. Bears are more aggressive than tigers when encountering humans, but bears live in mountains and forests, and they can escape by using the shelter of trees.
But wild boars are different, they have a strong sense of territory, once a person steps into its territory, whether it is to intimidate it or turn around and run, it will not let go, and under the extremely aggressive and running speed, it is difficult for people to escape the pursuit of wild boars.
Of course, in terms of the overall number, the probability of encounters between humans and wild boars is much greater than that of tigers and bears, which is also the main reason why that sentence can be true.
At last
Wild boars are already considered to be the ceiling level animals in the omnivorous animals, they do not refuse to eat food, even if it is carrion, they eat it with relish, and the temperament of wild boars is more irritable, and the active aggression is also relatively strong, plus there are more numbers, so even if the wild boar is removed from the three animals today, don't easily provoke it, otherwise it's okay to win, you can eat meat, and you lose the whole village to eat the feast
