There are many different animals in the stage of nature, some of these animals can often be seen, but there are also some very rare and rare existences, usually we will call this kind of existence a rare and precious animal, and this kind of animal is owned by every country, China is no exception.
In the mainland, an ancient country that has been inherited for thousands of years, there are also many different kinds of animals and plants, although some have disappeared forever around us in the long river of time, but what has survived is very precious, and today I want to introduce to you several first-class protected animals in the mainland today, these are "prison sitting beasts".
The first of China's first-class protected animals, the North China leopard
Perhaps when it comes to the mainland's first-class protected animals, the first thing that comes to mind is those more well-known rare animals, such as the giant panda and the Siberian tiger, but in addition to these, there are many animals that are very precious, and the first one we will talk about is China's special North China leopard.
Everyone should be familiar with the Siberian tiger, but haven't you heard of the North China leopard? It is still very common for leopards to be animals, they are generally social animals, and they are also orderly in their own lives, and the North China leopard is also like this, but the number of its existence is too small.
The first time the North China leopard was found in the mountains and forests of Shanxi Province in recent years, and many professionals went to this area as soon as this animal was discovered, because the North China leopard is really very rare, although they are very agile and carnivores, but their numbers are too small.
Unlike ordinary leopards, although North China leopards have an agile posture, their body size is within the range of 40-80 kilograms, so it can be said that the overall body size is still a little "thin", but fortunately, their explosive power is still considerable, which allows them to survive.
You may have seen similar creatures in some animal series documentaries, and leopards basically live in the plains, but North China leopards live in mountains and forests all year round, and their IQ is relatively high, and they have high mobility when capturing prey.
However, at that time, the living environment of the North China leopard was greatly compressed, and its own hostile predators were eyeing it, and people also destroyed forest resources on a large scale, so the rarity of this animal was still very important, and it was also a first-class protected animal in the mainland.
The second of China's first-class protected animals is the snow leopard
In the above, I just talked about the North China leopard, the number one "predator" in the forest and the mountains only survives within the range they identify, but the next animal can be said to be a relatively special existence, they are the snow leopard.
As the name suggests, you can guess from the name that this animal survives in the snow, the snow leopard basically survives in slightly colder (snow all year round), and like ordinary leopards, they also have a strong predation ability and mobility.
Although snow leopards are also very intelligent, they have a very big difference from ordinary leopards, that is, their coat is white-gray mixed with black spots, so that the natural camouflage is also so that they can better develop in the local living environment, or better capture prey.
In the snow, the presence of snow leopards is rarely noticed by animals, but they are more violent than ordinary carnivores, because they are often found in the homes of some poultry farmers who raise cattle and sheep, and will see these as their prey.
Snow leopards in the outdoors are also very ferocious animals, because they usually "don't die" when catching prey, even on very high slopes will always chase their prey, it is precisely because of this existence that the number of snow leopards has decreased dramatically, coupled with their hair is more precious, there have been some criminals who have captured them before.
In these years, the snow leopard is becoming less and less, but there is a certain existence, with the deepening of the Animal Protection Association, the snow leopard is also listed as a first-class protected animal, and is now protected by national laws, and it is hoped that they can survive in such a situation.
The third species of China's first-class protected animal, the Przewalski's horse
I don't know if you have heard the name of the Przewalski's horse, maybe the horse is still relatively common in everyone's impression, even now there are many people who have raised some of their own horses, but the Przewalski's horse is a very rare animal.
They belong to the kind of horses that are more irritable, and have a relatively strong explosive ability, if the name of the Przewalski's horse is relatively unfamiliar, but its earliest name must be very familiar, that is, the Mongolian wild horse, at that time this horse was very popular with military experts, because of its outstanding ability.
Despite its humble appearance, it has strong muscles and heavy fur that can improve its mobility and ability, and this horse usually survives in more remote areas such as Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang or Northwest China, where they love this environment.
But the distribution of this horse is very difficult to find, because they often go to "stroll" by themselves, as long as it is suitable for survival Przewalski's horses will go to see it, this series of reasons let them have this rare "body", but this kind of horse distribution in the world is very small, so it is a first-class protected animal.
The fourth species of China's first-class protected animal, the pangolin
For pangolins as an animal, whether in some film and television works or in some traditional stories, they will often appear, some friends may think that pangolins are a relatively common animal, but the actual situation is not at all, although they have a body of armor, but the pangolin itself is still very fragile.
For pangolins, they are slow moving and not very sensitive, as long as they encounter some life-threatening situations, they will use their armor to protect themselves, but in the eyes of their natural enemies, this is the existence of "thieves crying to catch thieves", which is of no use at all.
Although pangolins have a long tongue that can help them forage smoothly, pangolins are carnivores, but their usual hunting range is the presence of some ants, and the long tongue can allow them to catch their prey smoothly, but unfortunately it cannot protect their own safety.
Looking back at some of the history of the mainland, people at that time would think that pangolins were a very nutritious existence, so many people would go around catching pangolins to sell for money or replenish their bodies, in this case, the number of pangolins is getting smaller and smaller, I don't know if this statement is true, but pangolins are now a first-class protected animal.
The fifth of China's first-class protected animals is the white-limbed bison
Cattle are a frequent presence in our lives, and we usually eat some beef or beef products, but for animals such as white-limbed bison, they are very rare, not because they wear a pair of white socks on their feet and a fierce face.
There are many people who regard the white-limbed bison as the "bull demon king" of real-life actions, because their personalities are more violent and aggressive towards humans, but the number of such animals is very rare now, and they can only be seen in the wild, and their breeding ability makes people speechless, and finally listed as a first-class protected animal.
Conclusion
In fact, there are many different kinds of rare and protected animals in our country, and their existence is very rare today, or they will face extinction sooner or later.
For such a situation, the mainland's approach is still very good, and more and more rare and protected animals are developing better, but this does not mean that we can slack off, but need to be more cherished.
