The Bull Demon King is a very powerful demon in the "Journey to the West" novel, and it is also one of the few characters in the book who can match Sun Wukong without relying on magic weapons. Recently, in Pu'er City, Yunnan Province, China, the white-limbed bison (also known as the Indian bison) closest to the Bull Demon King was recorded through a wild infrared camera.
Globally, there are many kinds of bison, the best way to distinguish white-limbed bison, is to see the legs, white-limbed bison legs are white, people send nicknamed "white socks", mainly distributed in South Asia and Southeast Asia tropical, subtropical mountain forests and grasslands, in China, wild white-limbed bison can only see their traces in Pu'er and Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, however, the number in China is not much, according to statistics, the current number is less than 200.
In fact, among the bison species, there are many high-profile guys, such as: the North American bison and the African rhinoceros, which are known as the national beasts of the United States, are often seen in film and television works, they are huge in size and weigh up to a ton, but the white-limbed bison is indeed a low-key strong, and the white-limbed bison is the largest existing cattle in the world.
The adult white-limbed bison has a body length of 2.5 meters to 3.3 meters, a weight of about 800 kilograms, a shoulder height of 1.95-2.2 meters, is an uncompromising behemoth, with such a strong physique, it directly brings super powerful combat effectiveness, it is fierce even Bengal tiger does not pay attention to.
We all know that tigers in the earth's ecosystem, belong to the uncompromising king, can make it prohibitive of the animals very few, that white-limbed bison is even one, under normal circumstances, Bengal tiger in the face of adult white-limbed bison, Bengal tiger basically can not take any advantage, after all, white-limbed bison skin is thick, plus the size is 3-5 times the size of the tiger, Bengal tiger generally does not take the initiative to provoke white-limbed bison, of course, there are special circumstances, when the small bison falls single, Bengal tiger can enjoy a delicious meal.
As a result, you can often see a lot of videos of white-legged bison fat beating top predators, and when the white-legged bison encounters these predators, it does not show a little timidity, but actively attacks with its sharp horns.
It is precisely because the white-legged bison has the characteristics of huge size, physical strength, and short temper, which coincides with the characteristics of the Bull Demon King in the "Journey to the West" novel, so many people think that the real body of the Bull Demon King is the white-limbed Bison.
In fact, the habits of white-limbed bison are also very interesting, adult female and male white-limbed bison have been separated for a long time, under normal circumstances, female white-limbed bison with calves and other female bison live in groups, while males like to live alone, only during the courtship period began to look around for cattle, looking for female bison, once the breeding period is over, after mating, male white-limbed bison leave the herd again, so the male bison is indeed "irresponsible".
In fact, even if the white-limbed bison combat effectiveness is very strong, in theory will not suffer losses in the wild, however, the actual situation of the white-limbed bison is not optimistic, in the late 80s, only Xishuangbanna is about 700 heads, it is estimated that there are more than 1,000 heads in Yunnan Province, and now, the number of no more than 200 heads in China, in our country belongs to the first-class protected animals, it can be said that it is a critically endangered animal, why does the white-limbed bison have the current situation?
In fact, there are two factors, one is that the white-limbed bison is strong and full of muscles, the meat quality is very good, it is a rare delicacy, so many people desperately hunt white-limbed bison, historically, there have been many reports of hunting white-limbed bison, for example, in 1980-1983, There were 39 white-limbed bison in China's Xishuangbanna region that were poached.
On the other hand, due to the expansion of human activities, the living space of white-limbed bison is also getting smaller and smaller.
Globally, not only the situation of white-limbed bison is not good, the North American bison on the North American continent is even worse, in the vast North American continent, once lived 65 million North American bison, however, as people found that the North American bison is full of treasure, it began a frenzy of hunting, until 1890, the United States wild North American bison less than 1000, in human history, there has never been a large creature, in a short period of time was slaughtered almost completely, even if the United States gave the North American bison the title of national beast, But the situation of the North American bison is still worrying.
With the strengthening of china's protection of wild white-limbed bison, the situation of poaching white-limbed bison has been very small; in addition, China has also begun to return farmland to forest, in recent years, the number of white-limbed bison began to grow, the most obvious performance, this year in China's Yunnan region has twice found the trace of white-limbed bison, the last discovery is in the Xishuangbanna area.
This means that the number of wild white-limbed bison in China has begun to increase, and China has established a 1,000-acre food source base for white-limbed bison to ensure that they can ensure that they can ensure that they can have no worries about food and clothing when they come to china, so in time, white-limbed bison will appear more in people's vision.
