Lions, tigers and giant pandas are animals we are very familiar with. Everyone knows that lions and tigers are beasts. They can launch fierce attacks when facing other herbivores, even elephants, hippos and . But have you ever thought that giant pandas are also herbivores, but why don’t lions and tigers eat giant pandas?
We need to analyze the reasons from three aspects: one is the relationship between the three animals, and another very important reason - the living environment.
First of all, the relationship between the lion and tiger of giant pandas. The giant panda in our impression is as cute as the Winter Olympics, giving people a very cute image. In addition, our impression is that giant pandas eat bamboo , so many people think that giant pandas have no combat power. But in fact, we are all fooled by the appearance and name of giant pandas. Since it is a panda, many people must think it is a cat, like a cat. In fact, the real name of the giant panda is a bear. Since it is a bear, the giant panda has strong combat effectiveness, especially when the giant panda is angry, it completely subverts people's original imagination.
traces the origin. The ancestors of giant pandas were an absolute beast. Their ancestors did not feed on bamboo, but were omnivorous animals that matched meat and vegetables. Later, they became feeding on bamboo. However, this kind of meat-eating gene has been continued, so the giant pandas we see today are not completely vegetarians, they occasionally eat meat.
Since you want to eat meat, you must have strong biting and predation ability. According to research, the bite force of an adult giant panda can be nearly 1,300 Newtons and the bite force of a split teeth is 1851.9N. Among the beasts, it is only slightly worse than that of lions and tigers. It can be seen that in terms of biting strength, the giant panda is not completely a defeated player of the lion and tiger.
In addition to bite force, adult giant pandas also have a size advantage. A wild giant panda can weigh up to more than 200 kilograms, and its length can also grow to 180cm. The giant pandas raised are even heavier, and there are many people with more than 300 kilograms. Although giant pandas are very fat and move slowly when running, fat can also help a lot. Since you can't run fast, use rolling. When you encounter danger, roll quickly and cooperate with the tree climbing skills. In this way, no lion or tiger can attack the giant panda.
Compared with giant pandas, lions and tigers are very small. Although they have strong running ability, they do not have the same weight as giant pandas, and the unique " Iron Sand Palm " in giant pandas. When giant pandas encounter danger, they will use their "Iron Sand Palm" skill, which will be dizzy at the least, and lose their lives at the worst.
Since lions and tigers and giant pandas are comparable in confrontation, then lions are societies. If a group of lions besiege a giant panda, it must be the lions who will win. If that is the case, why don’t lions eat giant pandas? One of the most important reasons is that you can’t eat it!
If you want the two to fight, you must first meet the two. First of all, giant pandas are unique to China, but lions are not Chinese animals. The ancestors of lions come from the African continent and live in lively grassland areas. Therefore, in ancient times, lions and pandas did not know each other, let alone attacking each other, lions feed on pandas. About 21,000 years ago, the lion began to leave Africa and go to the world.
And what about tigers? There are many types of tigers. What we are familiar with in our country are South China tiger and Siberian tiger . We all know that Siberian tigers are huge in size, but live in the northeast of my country and Siberia, Russia. The giant panda lives in Sichuan, and the two are apart by 108,000 miles apart. The giant panda naturally cannot touch the Siberian tiger. , and the chance of meeting the South China tiger is not high. Although the South China tiger is a tiger, it has excellent swimming ability and can even swim through shallow straits. Therefore, the living scope of the South China tiger is not limited to the mountains and forests, but may also live on islands. There are also few South China tigers in Sichuan, so it is naturally difficult to meet by chance.In addition, tigers are solitary animals and do not like to live in groups, so it is not necessarily true that tigers and lions will win or lose.
In addition, the size of the South China tiger is much smaller than that of the Siberian tiger. They are twice as small as giant pandas and their weight is about twice as small as giant pandas. South China tigers do not climb trees like pandas, and they are really at a loss when facing pandas. The habit of South China tigers is mainly to like hunting animals with ungulates. They like herbivorous animals with small sizes; such as wild boars, deer, roe deer, etc. When faced with these animals, South China tigers have completely the upper hand. Since they can eat enough in this way, there is no need for South China tigers to take the risk to prey on giant pandas. Compared with giant pandas, male South China tigers are nothing. Not to mention attacking giant pandas, it is not certain whether they can save their lives.
