The lynx calmed down, squatting beside Liu Wei, looking ahead, it didn't know what Liu Wei was going to do to it next, it was just waiting for Liu Wei to leave, and then return to its lonely and ordinary life.

In the big family of cats, lynx is often overlooked because of its small size, and its reputation is naturally not as good as that of big cats such as tigers and leopards.

Some online articles even describe it as "miserable" because it needs to coexist on a piece of land with multiple natural enemies such as tigers, wolves, bears, and leopards.

Liu Wei said: "Many people who like cats have sympathy for the lynx, thinking that it lives a cautious life and needs to hide to have a chance to survive.

actually not.

It is active alone in a vast area, from a few hundred meters above sea level to areas above 5,000 meters above sea level.

It is not afraid of severe cold, and can lie dormant for a few days to catch medium and large animals such as roe deer.

In some areas, lynx can coexist with tigers, leopards and wolves. It is not a character that has been bullied all the time. On the contrary, it will be cruel to its natural enemies.

Wolves have long been considered the lynx's worst enemy, as they often meet and communicate with each other.

We just encountered wolves yesterday, and today we encountered lynxes, which is enough to infer the overlap of their active areas.

Wolves are larger than lynxes. In terms of numbers, wolves live in packs, while lynxes like to be alone, so there is a view that lynxes are deeply endangered by wolves.

In fact, according to some simple statistical analysis at home and abroad, so far, there are few reports of wolves killing lynxes, but more reports of lynxes killing wolves!"

"No way!"

"The big cat doesn't look like a wolf's opponent!"

"It's hidden deep enough!"

"It's called recklessness!"

"It's not that I didn't report, the time has not yet come!"

Liu Wei went on to say: "The statistics have a common feature, that is, most of the wolves killed by lynx are pregnant female wolves and wolf cubs, and the methods of lynx are vicious.

Adult male lynxes—the one sitting next to me now—will also deliberately and regularly hunt down delicate wolves, such as pups, pregnant female wolves, injured wolves, and even solitary adults.

Although wolves act in groups, in the cold season, they will often be alone. This is an excellent opportunity for lynx.

Brothers, do you know why it has trouble with wolves? "

"Because wolves will threaten it!"

"Because wolves will steal its food!"

"Each opponent, repay each other!"

"Maybe it's revenge!"

Liu Wei smiled and said: "You guessed some, after all, their purpose of doing this is to restrain the development of wolves.

Because their living environments overlap and their hunting characteristics are very similar, we must control the development of the number of opponents to satisfy ourselves and get more food!"

After speaking, Liu Wei looked back at the lynx.

The lynx is motionless, but its eyes reveal a fierceness, which is sometimes even more frightening than a wolf catching its prey.

"Hey, this is the cruel biological chain!"

"It's all for living!"

"It's a good thing that human beings have moved from barbarism to civilization, and they no longer need to fight each other to gain the right to survive!"

"Brother upstairs, you are half right. Human beings have never given up their struggle at any stage, and the pain brought by this struggle is far more than physical pain and death!"

There are quite a few people who have been in the live broadcast room, chatting and chatting about the philosophy of life.

Liu Wei brought the topic back to lynxes, "Brothers, we just mentioned that lynxes like to live alone, but there are also scenes where a small group of lynxes occasionally play and hunt together.

Especially between lynx couples, co-living is more common,

Even the male lynx will actively participate in raising young. Before these behavior patterns are discovered by people, the impression left on humans is: it is like a lone walker or an autistic patient. cut off from it.

The existence of group activity behaviors has given humans a new understanding of them.

For a long time, people have wanted to find out why lynx live in groups.

Because according to the comprehensive understanding of it in the animal kingdom, the behavior pattern of living in groups is a bit abnormal.

Some wild animal researchers speculate that perhaps because of the presence of aggressive and larger male lynxes, they can effectively prevent wolves from attacking, improve the survival rate of cubs, and allow more offspring of lynxes to have a greater chance live. "

"It sounds so sad!"

"Lynx is too difficult!"

"Suddenly feel that it is alive and strong!"

"The way you look at it, until now, has never been cowardly. It must be thinking about how to live strong!"

"Wooooow~, cat, you have to live well!"

There are many gentlemen in the live broadcast room. After listening to Liu Wei's popular science, admiration for lynx sprouted.

Liu Wei turned back and reached out to stroke its head. It didn't resist, as if it had just understood what Liu Wei was bbing.

In other words, during the time it was squatting here, Liu Wei did not make any actions to scare or threaten it, so that it let down its guard.

The lynx's hair feels very comfortable to the touch. Liu Wei stroked its head and back back and forth.

"Oh~"

Its cry is not pleasant, not as cute as a cat, but its strength is admired by many people.

Lynx, it is a big cat living on the line of life and death relying on its own IQ and bravery.

Liu Wei couldn't help holding it into his arms. It wasn't quite used to being pampered by others. It raised its head aggressively to Liu Wei, and stretched out its claws to catch Liu Wei, but Liu Wei easily dodged it.

Liu Wei did not use tough methods, but respected its way of life - squatting alone by the side to gain insight into this bush, thinking about the timing of the next predation.

The way it squats sideways is quite charming.

Liu Wei couldn't help but think of the way humans and lynxes get along. This kind of creature was almost extinct by humans.

It is not because of changes in the natural environment caused by human activities, but massacres, simple massacres.

At this time, Liu Wei felt that it was necessary to spread the word to the audience in the live broadcast room, so as to promote and protect the lynx. At the same time, he hoped that humans and lynx could get along more harmoniously.

"Brothers, we were very lucky to meet lynx today, and we had a short time with him. In fact, for a long time in the past, lynx were very afraid of humans. Except for the gunshots of poachers In addition, there is a kind of cultural massacre.

In the dark age after the Middle Ages, the lynx was widely hunted and killed by European humans as a pest.

They are imagined to be a symbol of the devil, because of the tufts of hair on their ears, devout and good believers believe that lynx is a symbol of "Satan".

As a result, lynxes were inexplicably wiped out on a large scale by humans. By the 19th century, lynxes had been completely exterminated in many European countries.

It wasn't until the 1970s that people became aware of its conservation.

In China, the number of Eurasian lynxes has dropped sharply, and more are hunted as a source of income, because lynx skins can be made into many handicrafts!"
