Someone has asked the question online: Which species is most likely to rule the planet without humans?
The following answers are various, some people say that it is a mouse, because the mouse has super reproductive ability and adaptability; some people say that it is an ant, because the ant population is large and the division of labor is clear; others say that it is a cockroach, because the thing is extremely vital, it is not a matter of eating or drinking, and the head can continue to jump, which is a veritable "cockroach bully".
Everyone says that the public is reasonable and the wife is reasonable, and they all have their own basis, and no one obeys anyone, which is called a hilarity.
Of all the answers, one seems ridiculous, because the answer leads to the conclusion: pigs.
what? You say pigs can rule the earth? Just like this fat head and big ears eating and waiting for death, the person who can say this answer is afraid that it is not the pork that eats too much to make a hallucination.
Wait a minute, don't be in a hurry to taunt.
Although it is not easy to draw conclusions about whether pigs can rule the earth, one thing is very clear: pigs are much more effective than people.
The history of pigs can be traced back tens of millions of years, and the ancestors of pigs probably looked like this:
I don't know what you think, but I don't have much appetite when I look at this thing, let alone associate it with braised pork, fried tenderloin, sweet and sour ribs, and so on.
Interestingly, the ancient giant pigs were large (about the size of today's bison) and had powerful teeth and jaws, but their brains were small, about the size of an orange.
After the extinction of the ancient giant pig, after a long period of evolution, the wild boar appeared, which is the ancestor of the modern domestic pig.
According to research, the history of domestication of wild boars can be traced back to more than 9,000 years ago, and China was the first country in the world to domesticate wild boars.
How high the combat effectiveness of wild boars is, I believe that I do not need to say more, the weight of large wild boars is four or five hundred pounds, and small wild boars also have more than one hundred pounds.
Moreover, wild boars are born with rough skin and thick flesh, and they have been crawling and rolling on the ground all their lives, and with the hard shell of the paste rolling in the mud pit, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are wearing body armor.
Just such a thing, there are still six or seven centimeters long fangs, not to mention a bite, is to rush over and hit people can't stand it.
Some people may say that wild boars can't beat me, domestic pigs will be domesticated for so many years, and I can't cure domestic pigs?
Don't look at the domestic pigs that have been domesticated for so many years, if the domestic pigs are released into the wild, the domestic pigs will soon adapt to the wild environment. If the pig is lucky enough not to be eaten by carnivores, it can survive in the wild for a long time.
If it is a little luckier and encounters a wild boar, then it can settle down in the wild with peace of mind, because the domestic pig and the wild boar are not reproductively isolated.
Saying so much is just to illustrate that although domestic pigs have been domesticated, they are not much different from wild boars in essence, and they are all the same skin and thick flesh.
Such a thick steel needle, if it is used by people, may have scared people out, but when used on pigs, the pig may bend the needle like this with a little force.
On this physical defense, let alone counterattack, is to lie on the ground and let people fight, it is estimated that people can be tired enough to choke.
Not to mention that the temper of domestic pigs is not so good, the boars in estrus and the sows in the nursing period are very grumpy, and it is very difficult to expect a person to control them at this time.
Even if it is not a special period, catching up with the second master brother one day is in a bad mood, let alone a person, Demu still chases and fights, just ask you what is the combat effectiveness of people compared with Demu?
In addition to the physical advantages, pigs have a very sensitive sense of smell and a high IQ, and trained pigs can even be used to hunt down drugs and search for other contraband.
Now let's look at the fact that pigs have good environmental adaptability, strong reproductive ability, and a natural high IQ as mammals, so it is not impossible for pigs to rule the earth without human pigs.
Of course, these are just people's assumptions, at least for now, whether it is a domestic pig or a wild boar, it is a walking sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork, back pot meat and pig killing dishes.
