Fox, is a widely distributed in most parts of the world of the canine, although belongs to the canine family, but the fox and the domestic dog blood relationship is not so close, there is reproductive isolation between them, can not breed offspring, although some dog breeds have some similar appearance to foxes, but the two as early as 5 million years ago on the evolutionary road to go their separate ways.
The ancestors of foxes are "ancient cat beasts" that lived 50 million years ago, this animal may be the common ancestor of felines and canines, and in subsequent evolution, members of the carnivorous order have evolved different morphologies and survival strategies because of different environments. Fox in the canine can be said to be unique, its personality is very timid, and very quick wit, to human aesthetics, the appearance of the fox is very "charming", if you describe a man like a fox, then it is to say that he is sinister and cunning, if a woman like a fox, most of them are describing her appearance charming behavior is inappropriate, because the unique appearance of the fox, in many parts of Asia have formed a unique fox goblin culture.
Foxes are athletic and slender, giving people a sense of agility and agility, but in foxes, there is such a "strange thing", because the appearance is too low and popular, known as "walking emoji" - Tibetan fox.
How ugly is the Tibetan fox?
To really say, in fact, the Tibetan fox is not ugly, but not so "symmetrical", the Tibetan fox has all the characteristics of ordinary foxes, such as narrow eyes, a relatively slender body and soft hair, but the head of the Tibetan fox is very large, a boxy face, plus a huge head, giving people a "thick" "Buddhist" visual sense.
The appearance of the Tibetan fox gives people an indescribable sense of violation, and the graceful and luxurious hair and dexterous steps of other foxes are placed on the Tibetan fox. Just like a skinny little girl with a rough uncle's face, the features of the Tibetan fox make people feel very "scrawled", and some people even say that the Tibetan fox is a "world-weary face".
After seeing the appearance of the Tibetan fox, many netizens said: The Tibetan fox is a creature living on the plateau in Tibetan areas, is it because the Tibetan areas are sparsely populated, and anyway, no one looks at me and grows up casually?
The appearance of each creature is the result of millions of years of evolution, every ordinary structure is full of evolutionary wisdom, the large face of the Tibetan fox seems to be very silly, which is actually the "secret weapon" that the Tibetan fox can live in the plateau area, because the Tibetan fox has long lived in high altitude areas, in order to resist the low temperature and special climate here, the Tibetan fox has evolved thick hair. Not only is there a lot of hair on the face, but the hairs on the body of the Tibetan fox are very thick, and the limbs of the Tibetan fox are short, just like the "fat house" in the fox family.
If the thick hair of the Tibetan fox is cut off, it will be found that the Tibetan fox is actually a "melon face", the size of the Tibetan fox is a little smaller than our common red fox, the adult weighs less than 10 pounds, is a typical diurnal animal, each adult Tibetan fox is living alone, in order to raise offspring when breeding cubs, they will form a family for a short time, and the cubs will return to a solitary state when they reach adulthood, which is very in line with the "Buddhist" appearance of the Tibetan fox.
Don't look at the Tibetan fox long Buddhist system, in fact, they are beneficial to humans, because the main food of the Tibetan fox is the plateau pika and a variety of rodents, these animals have a great harm to the grasslands of the plateau area, the Tibetan fox preying on rats is very beneficial to local agriculture and animal husbandry, in addition to China, India and Nepal also have Tibetan fox distribution, Qinghai, Gansu, Xinjiang, Sichuan, northwestErn Yunnan and western Sichuan are the activity areas of the Tibetan fox.
At present, the number of Tibetan foxes is continuing to decrease, because the population of over-hunting Tibetan foxes has been threatened, and the Tibetan fox has become a second-level key protected wild animal, and it is believed that after reasonable protection, the number of Tibetan foxes can be restored, after all, it is of great help to the grassland.
Foxes are small in size, and we usually think that their combat effectiveness is very poor, but this is not the case, foxes are spread across most parts of the world, with 47 subspecies, such a strong adaptability and carnivores are among the best. Foxes are petite, but their teeth are sharp, their claws are just as sharp, their sprints are fast, their eyes are as quick as cats,they can adapt to the dark, and they can swim and climb trees.
It can be said that foxes have the advantages of canines and cats, if it is not limited by size, foxes may become large predators, in nature, the fighting power of predators can be equated with weight, foxes are generally not high in weight, but their combat effectiveness is not weak, just take the Tibetan fox as an example, scientists will occasionally find that Tibetan foxes prey on marmots and rock sheep, and occasionally attack livestock.
The fox's positioning in the food chain is that of small predators, generally do not take the initiative to provoke other large creatures, for this positioning, the fox has done a good enough job.
