In the case of folk chickens at home, one of the most feared animals is the weasel. Because as long as the weasel comes, the chicken raised at home can be said to be unable to keep, even if it is prevented day and night, there is no way to prevent the weasel. But farmers can't deal with weasels. There is a legend in folklore: saying that the weasel, people should not hit it, let alone kill it, saying that it will destroy feng shui and bring some bad results. In fact, what is the role of the weasel when we look back? What does it mainly eat?
In fact, the weasel mainly eats mice, where there are mice, there will be weasels, and people often say not to beat the weasel to death, the main reason for the disaster caused to humans is because the weasels eat mice, people will use it to eliminate the rats in their homes, so do not shout and kill. In fact, the weasel also has its own natural enemies, as long as the natural enemies of the weasel appear, eating the weasel is like humans eating spicy strips, so how does it catch the weasel with such a high IQ?
It is believed that weasels give people the feeling of being particularly shrewd, intelligent and sensitive, and if they catch prey, they usually have some war with their prey. Whether it's flipping, jumping, or other exaggerated movements that can confuse animals and then hunt their prey, people say weasels are smart. Not only that, but in the folk people's saying of the weasel is also a god. People will say that the weasel still has spirituality, if this guy injures the weasel or uses some method to kill the weasel, the weasel has a strong sense of revenge, and there is a saying that the weasel gives the chicken a New Year's greeting, how ah, no peace of mind. So through these legends, we can all see that the weasel is an extremely cunning and extremely intelligent animal, but from the animal point of view, the weasel is actually a protective animal, it can help people catch mice, but such a shrewd weasel, but also has its own natural enemies, it is - herons.
Herons can easily kill weasels, they eat weasels like humans eat spicy strips, so let's take a look at how it can easily kill highly intelligent and cunning weasels? In fact, the weasel has stink glands in its body, which can release odor, and if the enemy catches it, it can quickly paralyze the enemy, just like the flat-headed honey badger, so animals that are several times larger than itself can also easily provoke. I believe that the most common people are chickens and rabbits, although the size is not much larger, or even similar, but weasels have a special skill when hunting, that is, dancing.
You read that right, it's just dancing. Although the rabbit runs very fast in the process of escaping, the weasel is not bad at running speed, and can quickly subdue the hare. If you don't have a uniform, you can occasionally have a combat dance with each other, you can confuse the rabbit. Once the rabbit lets down its vigilance, the weasel can quickly attack, and the rabbit's life is difficult to save at this time, and may have become the weasel's pocket.
Due to the size of the weasel and the fast speed of movement, the mouse appears and sees the weasel is equivalent to not seeing the sun the next day. So such a fierce weasel, in fact, people can not imagine that it also has natural enemies, then people hear the most familiar natural enemies are the great white goose, that is, the great white goose in the farm yard. Friends who have stayed in the countryside should know that every household in the countryside will have several animals.
One of them is the dog in the nursing home, which can help the owner's family to keep an eye on their home, especially in the event of some animal invasion, the dog will make a sound to remind the owner's family; the other is the big white goose. The great white goose is a very proud animal, if there is a creature close to them, it will take the initiative to attack, and the momentum is also very fierce, the combat effectiveness is extremely strong.
Because the goose's eyes are smaller than its own, the goose is not even afraid of people, let alone the weasel, so one of the weasel's natural enemies is the great white goose. In addition, there is another natural enemy that is the heron. Herons, in fact, belong to the deer family, they are also called gray herons, because the top of the heron's head and feet are very long, especially the neck and feet are particularly long, just like the giraffes seen by humans.
If you have a friend who is in elementary school or a parent of a child who is in the fifth grade at home, you should know that the fifth grade child will learn a text, that is, the egret. In the text of the introduction to the egret, there is also an introduction to the heron, the heron generally likes to stay near the riverside coast, usually like to catch some fish, occasionally catch weasels, so how do they hunt when they eat weasels?
In fact, the IQ of the heron is particularly high, so its hunting skills are also extremely superb. When they hunt weasels, the weapon they use is to use their pointed mouths to bite their prey. Because the weasel's physique is not particularly large, under normal circumstances, each weasel weighs about two pounds, so the size of a heron can easily hold the weasel, and pick it up, the weasel is basically difficult to resist.
If the weasels are still struggling desperately, or trying to escape, they will usually be thrown into the water and put into the water again and again, so that they drown. After a bite out and swallowed directly into the abdomen, this superb way is somewhat similar to fishing, but the emergence of this pattern, the probability of weasels surviving is relatively low.
In fact, the herons will also make careful observation when fishing, if there will be no fish for a while and a half, they will wait for bugs, as long as there are bugs, they will quickly fly into the grass, put the bugs into the water to attract fish, the next action they do is to wait quietly. They usually stay for hours, but their eyes never leave the water, and once a fish is hooked, the herons will strike quickly.
Its flexibility is not much to say, so the HERON's IQ is particularly high. With such a high endurance and very good at hunting opponents, if a weasel is targeted by a heron, then its disaster is like a fish in the river, it is difficult to escape. Using bait to fish, what do you want to say about such a clever heron? Or do you have any other ideas after reading this article to praise the heron?
