Mention of donkeys are very familiar to everyone, especially the children who grew up in the countryside are not unfamiliar with donkeys, riding donkeys is the childhood memories of many rural children, this docile and somewhat cute animal is very in line with the needs of rural people's labor life. Before the mechanization of agriculture, the donkey was an indispensable animal in China's agricultural production, and was the most important farming assistant and means of transportation for farmers.
Little donkey
In the most popular parlance, it is the donkeys of the north and the buffalo of the south that carry the agricultural economy of our country on their backs. Although they seem cute and even considered a little stupid, in fact, they carry qiankun on their backs, just like the assistants given to humans by the mythical immortals, carrying human beings to continuous progress.
We have all heard such a story, that is, the donkey is poor in skill, the donkey after the first time to see the tiger, appear arrogant, no self-awareness, and when the dust settles, the tiger found that the donkey chest has no ink scrap wood. But are donkeys really as stupid and timid as rats as people think they are?
Donkeys and wolves
The answer is no, donkeys are actually not timid, donkeys that have coexisted with humans for thousands of years, their IQ is not inferior to that of domestic dogs, and they are even more emotionally rich. Not only are they very shrewd, but they are also rare among animals. Not only is he not afraid of wolves, but he also dares to beat hyenas violently.
In some people's impressions, donkeys are afraid of wolves, and some people say that donkeys will be frightened when they see wolves, and they can only sit and wait. This is wrong, donkeys are not afraid of wolves. In vast rural areas, there are few records of donkeys being preyed upon by wolves, and some young donkeys may panic when they see wolves, but they are rarely preyed upon by wolves, of course, if a group of wolves besieges a donkey, it is different.
Donkeys have a wealth of means to deal with wolves, if it is only a wolf, the donkey can easily defeat it, the donkey has three major attack methods: hind legs flying kick, large mouth bite, donkey rolling. When fighting with wolves, the donkey first kicks the opponent with a hard and powerful hind leg, and the donkey's hind legs are very powerful, and a full blow can crush the wood. If there are two wolves back and forth, the donkey will not be tied to death, the big mouth bite and the hind leg kick will not work, once the wolf bites the neck, the donkey will also roll on the spot, away from the wolf's attack.
Decades ago, many mountainous areas were still plagued by wolves, and locals would ride donkeys when they went out, which not only saved their feet, but more importantly, they could prevent wolves. A midwife in the hometown, went to the village to deliver the baby, when the busy time is dark, because the master's family is busy taking care of the children, the little foot old lady does not want to disturb too much, riding an old donkey in a hurry to rush home.
This walk is a few miles, said far away, said near is not close, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel, how to walk for half an hour, and when passing a valley, the old lady heard a fine sound behind the back, looked back, scared almost fell off the donkey. A mountain wolf followed behind, and the saliva flowed to the ground.
An old lady riding a donkey
The old lady was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat, and quickly lay on the back of the donkey and did not dare to move, the cigarette pole in her hand kept waving, and her mouth screamed, Fight the wolf. This kind of experience is something that many people have never experienced in their lives, and the old lady also feels that she is more fierce and less auspicious.
But fortunately, this old donkey is not in a hurry, it has long heard the sound of wolves, not hurried under its feet, walking steadily on the rugged mountain road, it walks all the way along the narrow place, left and right blocks, the pace is fast and slow, so that the wolf can never surpass it, and when it reaches the mouth of the village, the donkey screams its legs and rushes in, and the big dog in the village also roars and rushes out, and the wolf disappears without a trace.
Donkeys not only dare to fight wolves, but also dare to fight with more powerful hyenas. In Africa, donkeys are also an important means of transport, and hyenas are called The second largest carnivorous beast in Africa, and their strength and status are even ahead of leopards. Many people think that hyenas prey on donkeys is an easy task.
But this is not the case, hyenas are often active around African villages, almost never preyed on donkeys, of course, not do not want to eat, but can not eat, African donkeys are not afraid of hyenas, on the contrary dare to take the initiative, a recent video has such a record, people are surprised.
Donkeys and hyenas
A hyena jumped into the donkey's fence and intended to attack the donkey, but the donkey was not timid, but took the initiative to attack, and the donkey used his full body skills, not only kicking with his hind legs, but also biting with his mouth, and his body pressed against the hyena's body. The hyena was a little dazed by the donkey's bite, and it was probably the first time it had seen such a ferocious donkey.
The hyena seemed to have only just thought of its own unique skill, that is, to pluck the anus, which quickly moved to the back of the donkey, but the donkey was not easy to mess with, and used its tail to tightly protect the soft place of the hip. The donkey endured the pain, treated his body in his human way, bit the tail of the hyena, came a Lu Zhishen upside down to pull the weeping willow, I don't know if it was the true transmission of the martial art, but the effect was exactly the same, the hyena was lifted upside down, came an upside-down onion, almost planted in the ground.
The donkey bites the hyena's ear
Saying that it was too late and fast, the donkey took advantage of the victory to pursue, and with a drum, pressed the hyena to the ground and rubbed it, and the hyena tried to fight back, but in no way, it was already very discouraged. The donkey, on the other hand, was even more aggressive, biting the hyena's ear at the end and pressing the hyena to the fence, grinning in pain.
The final outcome is unknown, but the hyena will obviously never fight a donkey again.
Unlike horses, horses are good at running, but they are also more likely to be frightened, and once they encounter a beast, the horse may escape, and it is more likely to lose its square inch and be preyed upon by the beast. Donkeys run slower, but more calmly, daring to gain a glimmer of life in fighting, but having said that, donkeys also have nemesis, that is, jackals.
Jackals
Once upon a time, jackals were distributed in many areas, some places called jackals, they came in groups, in terms of individual combat effectiveness, they were far inferior to wolves and hyenas, but the jackals' attack efficiency was very high and very cruel. Jackals are cunning hunters who do not tangle with their prey or attack their throats.
Jackals will flock up, like hyenas, they also have pulling skills, and more flexible and skilled, prey is difficult to guard, for donkeys, encounter the jackal herd, there is almost no ability to fight back, the donkey runs slowly, can not use the speed to escape, and the limbs are equal in length, can not crouch on the ground to protect the hips. Therefore, the animal that donkeys fear the most is the jackal.
This is the donkey, the animal that we are familiar with but unfamiliar, in layman's terms, they are the strange donkeys that we are familiar with.
