One day in a small village in Tangkou Town, Huangshan, Anhui Province, a large yellow dog raised by a local villager chased after a wild sika deer.
The owner of the big yellow dog said that the wild sika deer was found in its own vegetable field, it was stealing the vegetables it planted, and then, the big yellow dog in the nursing home found it and began to drive away the wild sika deer, and this scene was just filmed by the surveillance video of the vegetable garden.
Many villagers around the area also saw this scene, of course, at first people did not recognize it as a wild animal, because the last time there was a wild sika deer in the local area was 40 years ago.
However, the sika deer has been seen by everyone, after all, there are many in the zoo, so soon some villagers reacted, shouting that this is a wild animal, worried that this wild sika deer will be bitten by the big yellow dog, so they hurried to control the big yellow dog, and this wild sika deer also entered the mountain forest near the village after the big yellow dog stopped chasing.
Speaking of which, in the zoo, one of our most common animals is the sika deer, and many people do not think that the sika deer is an endangered animal, but in fact, as a national first-class protected animal, the number of wild sika deer is very rare, and it is very rare in the wild.
Sika deer is not a unique species in China, it is distributed in many countries in Asia, especially in Japan, the number of wild sika deer is very large, which also means that from the perspective of world distribution, wild sika deer do not have the risk of extinction, only in China, it has become an endangered species.
In China, the main reason why wild sika deer are endangered is because of the mass hunting of them by humans. So, why are only our people so fond of hunting sika deer?
This actually has a lot to do with traditional Chinese medicine theory. When it comes to sika deer, everyone thinks of "deer antler", which is actually the young horn of the sika deer, which has been a very precious Chinese medicinal material since ancient times.
Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that the essence of the sika deer is concentrated on the antler velvet, which has a high medicinal value, so many people hunt the sika deer in order to obtain the antler velvet.
In addition, folk believe that the nutritional value of venison is also very high, which leads to people will also hunt sika deer in order to eat venison, coupled with the destruction and pollution of human activities for the sika deer habitat environment, naturally, the number of wild sika deer in China is getting less and less.
This is actually because the number of artificially bred sika deer in China is very large, because in the middle and late last century, when people found that the number of wild sika deer was very small, rare in the wild, they began to breed, so the deer meat, deer antlers, etc. sold on the market today are also from artificially bred sika deer.
Especially in the northeast region of China, the number of artificially bred sika deer is nearly one million, naturally, the supply market demand is no problem.
Therefore, we can see sika deer in the zoo, of course, the sika deer in these zoos are also artificially farmed and bred, not pure wild sika deer.
In recent years, with the continuous restoration of China's ecological environment, many places for the protection of wild animals continue to increase, the number of wild sika deer in China, has also been restored, although still relatively rare, but compared with decades ago, or the situation is much better, at present, for the time being, there is no risk of complete extinction in China.
Speaking of which, in nature, the wild sika deer itself is a very timid animal, when they encounter danger, sometimes they will "scare themselves to death", which can be seen from the fact that this time the wild sika deer was "hunted down" by a large yellow dog, and they were unable to resist at all.
If you encounter wild sika deer in the wild, don't use any crooked brains to hurt them, you know, as a national first-class protected animal, wild sika deer is an absolute "prison bottom sitting through the beast".
For example, in 2016, in a small mountain village in Anhui Province, when a villager went to the mountains to "hang" to poach wild animals, a wild sika deer fell into his trap and died.
Later, after the investigation of the forest public security, after locking the villager as a "suspect", he was arrested, and the villager also said that he actually wanted to poach a wild boar, but did not expect to catch a sika deer.
Of course, whether it is a wild boar or a sika deer, they are all nationally protected animals, this behavior itself is wrong, in the end, this villager was sentenced to less than 5 years of imprisonment for harming national first-class protected animals, so here the author also warns everyone, do not harm wild animals, because maybe which animal you don't know is a "national security species".
