In some places, people regard it as a 'God Dog'
in China, people often say a word which is 'wolves and leopards'
these 4 animals are feared by the vast majority of the people, used to metaphor for evil men. It is clear that they are so ferocious.
Tiger, leopard, and wolf are all animals that people are familiar with, but '' refers to what animal? It may be disputed.
The '' looks like what? We still need to go to the animal park to find out.
We can find a plaque with the word '' hanging high on the glass wall. But everyone casually glanced inside, and the animals in the cage did not look as mysterious as imagined. They looked a bit like wolves, with reddish-brown fur on their back and pale yellow-white fur on their belly, which formed a strong contrast, and they dragged a long and dense tail behind them. Seeing this, people couldn't help but ask in unison: 'Isn't this a fox?'
The '' is similar to the '' that people often say is a 'fox'. The '' is widely distributed in China. Except for Hainan and Taiwan, it is found throughout the country. It plays a significant role in controlling rodent plagues. There are fewer and fewer animal parks in China that exhibit the ''. In fact, because it is a relatively common animal, it is more important to let people know it, don't maliciously capture it, and know how to get along with it correctly.
The '' is an easily underestimated canine animal in nature, but its abilities are not as simple as it looks. Even though the '' is not as big as the '', its prey are all big guys, including deer, wild boars, pronghorn, moose, and even wild cattle. It can control them.
The '''s hunting method is different from that of the '', it doesn't chase the prey with a single burst of power and bite its throat to make it suffocate. Instead, it hunts in groups, using its tenacious endurance to chase and bite the prey. When the prey loses its strength and stops, they will rush forward in a swarm, some bite limbs, some bite heads, some bite bellies, and some bite hips… In a short time, a large animal will be divided alive
The '' is the enemy of wild boars. With them, wild boars can be controlled, and the crops in the fields are not harmed. Therefore, some people in certain areas regard the '' as a '' (god dog).
In nature, both '' and '' will become the enemies of the '', but a large group of '' is not afraid of them. The '' group not only cooperates in hunting, but also can seize the food of the '', and there is a record in India that a large group of '' cooperated to kill a Bengal tiger, although 12 of them were sacrificed
The '' group includes a dominant adult couple and a few other adults, as well as their cubs. The minimum is 2 to 3, and the maximum is more than 10. They are united and loving, forming a powerful group
Outside of Hainan and Taiwan, a large part of China was once the distribution area of the '', including Heilongjiang, Xinjiang, Qinghai, Tibet, Sichuan, Yunnan, Jiangxi, Fujian, Shanxi, etc. But now most of the '' has disappeared many years ago. Currently, there are still a few remaining in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and the mountains of Sichuan and Gansu. It is difficult to say exactly why they disappeared in some areas. The most persuasive explanation is that their habitat has been damaged to varying degrees, and their prey is becoming less and less, so they can only disperse to villages, hunt livestock, and people regard them as evil animals, so they became endangered species
