In ordinary people's impressions, animals like pigs, whether domestic or wild, do not seem to be very smart.
It is difficult for us to associate pigs with the word overlord.
But do you really know the fighting power of wild boars?
How strong is the fighting power of wild boars?
An adult wild boar generally weighs about 300 kilograms.
Its running speed is 40 to 70 kilometers per hour.
It also has two sharp fangs. Combined with its huge size and fast running speed, it is like a meat bomb tank. If you go head-to-head with it, it will be no less than a large car accident.
The wild boar is also a creature with a powerful bite.
They have amazing biting power and can easily break hard bones.
Moreover, wild boars also have extremely powerful athletic abilities. They not only run fast, but also jump high.
An adult strong wild boar can jump up to about one meter vertically.
Without weapons such as guns, humans may not be able to fight back in front of wild boars.
A qualified wild boar not only has a strong body and powerful strength, but also has extremely high defense power.
As we all know, wild boars are the epitome of rugged and thick meat. This creature has very tough and thick skin. Even if it is shot with a gun, it is difficult to kill it with one shot. It will take at least three or four shots to completely make the wild boar lose its ability to resist.
Otherwise, once wild boars feel the pain and their lives are in danger, the amazing power they unleash to survive is very terrifying.
If they fight back desperately before death, you may suffer even if they have a gun in their hand.
The wild boar’s fighting prowess is not what it’s cracked up to be.
Before humans got involved in the grievances of nature, wild boars were real old gangsters in the forest. They dared to bully anyone and were not afraid of anyone.
Why is it said that wild boars are old gangsters in the forest?
Because this animal really has no natural enemies and no one is afraid of it.
Wild boars are extremely powerful and run very fast.
In the forest, if an adult wild boar encounters an adult tiger, it may be difficult to say which of the two animals is stronger.
Although the wild boar does not look very smart, the IQ of this animal is not low.
Generally, when they sense danger, they will immediately use their four legs to run away quickly.
If they feel that the opponent on the opposite side is capable of fighting, then they will have a war with their opponent.
When nothing happens, wild boars will also exercise their bodies.
They will be in the quagmire, or on some tree stumps and rocks, constantly polishing their bodies.
Over time, their skin will be polished hard and thick by bark and rocks, forming a protective shell like armor around the body.
When faced with a wild boar, it would be difficult for ordinary carnivores to break through the wild boar's defense.
Moreover, the bodies of animals like wild boars are simply designed for defense.
You may have seen such a plot in novels. In the forest, a wild boar can knock down a big tree.
This is no joke. An adult wild boar not only has rough skin and thick flesh, but its tusks are quite sharp.
General carnivores are accustomed to biting the throat of their prey when hunting, and then quietly waiting for the blood of the prey to drain dry.
But if these predators like tigers dare to bite the neck of a wild boar, what awaits them may be that their stomachs will be broken by the wild boar first.
Because the necks of wild boars are relatively short, once hunters such as tigers bite them, their weakest abdomens are destined to be exposed to the wild boar's attack range. This also explains why the wild boar's body is built for defense.
You may have only heard about wild boars being overrun, but rarely about tigers and bears being overrun.
Why, because wild boars have too few natural enemies.
This kind of old gangster-level animal has strong reproductive ability, strong survival ability, strong fighting ability, and strong defense ability.
And if this kind of animal charges in a group, almost no animal can resist it.
Such an incident happened during the period of the Qing Dynasty.
At that time, wild boars were overrun in a certain area of Hunan, destroying a large number of local crops and even injuring many people.
After the Qing government learned of this, it sent a thousand soldiers to hunt and kill him.
As a result, half a year later, more than half of the thousand soldiers were killed, but the number of wild boars remained undiminished.
Later, a general thought of a way. They offered high rewards from other places and mobilized a generation of hunters in Guizhou to capture some tigers, hoping to use these tigers to control these wild boars.
As a result, a total of 27 tigers were sent to this mountain forest under the reward.
Most of these tigers are adult tigers, only three are underage, but they are still lively and very strong. The soldiers released all the tigers into the mountainous area where wild boars were infested.
As soon as the tiger arrived, the local villagers breathed a sigh of relief.
They believe that these tigers will soon be able to kill all the wild boars in the mountains and completely eliminate the pig disaster.
But not long after, the villagers discovered that there were still wild boars in their crop fields, and nothing had changed at all.
As a result, another six months later, the soldiers went to the mountains to check the situation, but were surprised to find that there were still groups of wild boars in every corner of the mountains, but the tigers were nowhere to be seen.
Later, they found many tiger bones and tiger skins in a mountain col, as well as some scattered wild boar bones.
The soldiers then realized that these tigers had been killed by this group of wild boars.
This shows how seriously we underestimate the wild boar species.
