«——【·“ What is "Pick a Dog"?·] ——»
Since ancient times, China has been looking for a variety of wild beasts, and with the development of society, these beasts have gradually disappeared, and some even disappeared overnight, and it is difficult to find their traces again.
In the past, wild pheasants and hares were very common, and when my grandmother was a child, there were even wild wolves eating people. You also have to pay a ticket to go to the zoo.
Pickpocketing dogs, which were common decades ago, are difficult to find in zoos. The former educated youth in the countryside had a real experience.
"In the silence of the night in the countryside, there was suddenly a strange laughter, like a wolf howling, like a bird's call, and then the sheep in the sheepfold were restless, and there was a terrible cry in the forest.
In the past, rural people were not surprised by this kind of horror phenomenon, and they all knew that it was a "pickpocketing dog" hunting for food. The next day, the sheep was unharmed, and when they came to the forest, they saw a wild boar that had been hollowed out, and they took the meat home and ate a meal of wild boar. ”
It was a special experience that he still can't forget.
In the past, there were many magical creatures, which were thought to exist only in legends, such as "Pickpocketing Dog", "Laughing Bear", "Donkey-headed Wolf", "Coffin Beast" and other magical creatures, which are basically unencountered in the eyes of young people nowadays, and are considered to be non-existent.
Pickpocketing dogs used to be very common, a little smaller than the average puppy, often in groups, farmers see them, basically have to take a detour.
Because their temperament is particularly ferocious, they don't easily provoke or pass by them without weapons, it is easy to stimulate this creature to start a fight, and the way they kill their prey is very "disgusting".
In the legend, it is said that this creature is based on the creature between wolves, foxes, dogs, and cats, and some people believe that the dog is actually a wild cat, because the wild cat is diurnal and nocturnal and hunts at night, but the wild cat is a solitary animal that feeds on rabbits, birds, and insects on weekdays.
And pickpockets not only eat those things, but also hunt large omnivores, such as wild boars and humans. Cows, deer and other large herbivores are no match for small dogs. This is enough to prove that picking up dogs is not cats.
In fact, pickpocketing dogs is a canine or a social animal, and they often act in groups. But he is not a dog, he is smaller than ordinary dogs, and the leader with the largest weight has grown to more than 30 catties, and the others are generally about 20 catties.
Why do you know so much about this legendary creature, and how can you prove that this creature is not made up?
In fact, if you want to talk about another name for picking up dogs, then everyone will definitely be familiar with it.
«——【·Another name "Jackal"·】——»
The "jackal" of the four pests of "jackals, tigers and leopards" may be the pickpocketing dog, also known as the jackal.
The jackal is petite, very convenient to haunt the mountains and wilderness, and has a strong aggressiveness, and its terrible thing is not that it is temperamental, but that it is a cooperative group, and that although it is disgusting, it has a 100% kill rate of hunting.
The teamwork between them, not only because of unity, can ensure that they can kill prey that they don't know how many times bigger, but they must be very intelligent.
It is said that they have a variety of different vocalizations, forming their own language system, and can better cooperate with each other in team battles. This intelligence, combined with the cohesion of unity, is horrific in nature.
Someone once saw the scene of the jackal fighting the big black bear, this is still an old intellectual, and wild animals were common in the countryside at that time. At that time, the bear was squatting there, and the leader of the jackal was also squatting opposite, forming a stark contrast between a jackal and a dog.
One has a huge black body, the other is thin and petite, and you can tell who wins and loses without looking. But in fact, there was only one bear, and the two animals were already surrounded by jackal companions, waiting for the leader's order at any time.
The bear also knew that he couldn't beat it today, and wanted to escape from the encirclement, but unfortunately the reality didn't give it favor, and the jackal was also very heavy, and the bear was killed. Only by witnessing it with your own eyes can you appreciate how shocking the scene was at that time.
The jackal is relatively small, although there is a lot of hair, but the overall sense is not good-looking, and the hair on the belly is light. Elsewhere, the coat is dark, mostly brown, reddish-brown, and there are subtle differences in appearance depending on the species.
This creature is found in the continent, distributed in the south, especially in the mountains and forests, which should be rare in the north of the continent, but with the change of the environment and the destruction of the forest, the homes they rely on for survival are becoming fewer and fewer, and the traces have gradually disappeared.
Because they often hunt collectively in the form of siege, the tigers, known as the king of beasts, are a little afraid of them. They are also the natural enemies of wild boars, and their unique hunting methods perfectly hit the shortcomings of wild boars.
Even wild boars are so frightened that they sit on the ground as soon as they see a jackal, and hide their buttocks tightly against the ground, but despite this, once a creature encounters a natural predator, no matter how it responds, it can rarely escape the fate of being preded.
Jackals are an animal that is unusually alert. They will take the lead in confronting their prey, and then the other jackals will interfere with each other.
Force the opponent to stand up and defend normally, and then take the opportunity to suddenly jump to the back of the prey when it is not paying attention, and then stretch the forelimbs into the prey's anus, and directly pull out the intestines and internal organs, and the prey will die due to massive bleeding from the internal organs.
Jackals are ferocious and bold in the morning and dusk, often preying on deer, musk deer, serow, and wild boars, and also daring to besiege leopards and tigers and rob them of their prey.
Once in the deep mountains and old forests, the planting technology was not developed, and the farmers were very concerned about a grain of grain.
However, wild boars and badgers often haunt the main crops in the mountainous areas, which not only cost people but also money, and farmers hate it, but they do not know that jackals can effectively deal with and control wild boars.
In some areas, jackals are also identified as one of the four pests because they occasionally eat some crops, while others guard the entrance to the village and attack the elderly and children. The "dog pickpocket" is a hunting rifle invented in rural areas in the past to prevent attacks by this creature.
In some areas, there is no shortage of wild boars, and even wild boars have become local disasters, and picking dogs can maintain the normal number of wild boars and avoid large-scale damage to crops.
Therefore, some wild boar-infested farmers in the mountainous areas say that jackals are sent by the gods to the mountains to help the people of Li eliminate pests and protect crops.
In fact, the attitude of the peasants towards this creature is to achieve a degree of harmony between the local people and nature, and if it is not attacked by humans, this creature generally does not set foot in human territory.
Humans are also social animals, they understand how powerful the group is, not to mention that humans have advanced weapons and super high intelligence, if they don't have no food or survival territory, they won't easily attack humans, because this animal is very vindictive.
When farmers scold, they will also add the name of the jackal, such as "dog jackal grandson", which shows that it is still not liked.
«——【Disappearing Species】——»
Pickpocketing dogs used to be common, large in scale and in large numbers, mostly found in mountains and grasslands, often in groups. Especially in the southern mountains.
This species is similar to the hyena, but unlike the hyena, there is no hierarchy between their groups and they are much cleaner than the hyena. Hyenas are matrilineal societies that use saliva as a mark, and also love to dig out their anals and eat their offal, living in the tropics, their fur is short and sparse, and has no value.
The dog's fur is thick, but the hair is dry, although the value is not large, but it is enough to keep warm.
However, the state has upgraded this creature from a second-class protected animal to a first-class protected animal, which means that this creature is almost impossible to find in the wild, and if it is not protected, it will die, and it also means that if it is easily killed, it will be imprisoned.
There are many reasons for the disappearance of the dog, and in history, because the creature often attacked the sheep, the herders saw the creature with little relentlessness.
One shot killed, in the jackal is known as the "four evils" in the years, everyone in order to kill the jackal, do everything possible, there are bait, the basic method of arranging traps, some specially ambushed in the jackal infested place to catch it all, resulting in a rapid decline in the number of jackals.
With the development and progress of society, a large number of cities have been established, rural areas have also begun to modernize, and the explosive growth of human population has further suppressed the living space of wild animals.
Wild animals are rare, and the number of herbivorous wild animals in the wild has decreased, so the number of wild animals that live by predation will also decrease, and the jackal has developed from being seen everywhere to disappearing. This is basically the reason for the disappearance of many endangered protected animals.
For the destruction of the environment, the state has put forward the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and has begun to pay attention to the protection of nature. Just like the giant panda, it has been downgraded from a first-class protected animal to a second-class protected animal.
As a result of these efforts, wild pandas are also becoming more and more common. I believe that in the near future, those animals that have disappeared for a long time will reappear after our efforts to protect them, and that is the harmony between man and nature, and will no longer be a slogan.
