Does anyone know what kind of cat this cat is? Judging from the way it looks at snakes, is it bolder and more powerful than a domestic cat?
For a domestic pet cat, if it is hungry, the owner will bring it delicious cat food; if it is thirsty, the owner will provide it with cool mineral water to drink.
lives in the hot Sahara Desert in
But this cat lives in the hot Sahara Desert, and the living environment is extremely harsh. In the Sahara Desert, daytime temperatures reach as high as 52 degrees Celsius.
At such a high temperature, if an egg is buried in the sand. It will be cooked in two minutes and can be eaten directly without cooking at all.
Fortunately, this cat has a thick pad of flesh under its feet. Used to insulate against high temperatures. Precisely because he can survive in such a harsh environment, people call him: Desert Black-footed Cat.
Poisonous snakes, lizards, scorpions, and spiders are the natural water sources for desert cats.
In addition to being able to adapt to the harsh living environment of the desert, the desert cat also has another special skill that domestic cats cannot match, that is, drinking snake blood .
The most lacking thing in the desert is undoubtedly water. If you want to survive in the desert, you must have the ability to find water. Of course, desert cats are no exception, but desert cats rely on drinking snake blood instead of drinking water: poisonous snakes, lizards, scorpions, and spiders are the natural water sources of desert cats.
But desert cats like it best. The snake blood he drank was the blood of the desert horned viper.
horned viper is very toxic. After being poisoned, the human body may suffer from headache, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dizziness, fainting or spasm etc.
Normal people only need to be exposed to 40-50 mg of horned viper venom, and even the great gods will be unable to save themselves. The famous Queen Cleopatra committed suicide with a horned viper.
But for such a poisonous horned viper, the desert cat is its nemesis.
When a desert cat encounters a horned viper, it will first engage in a guerrilla war and a war of attrition. The snake's ability to pounce is amazing, but its endurance is lacking.
The desert cat only needs to dodge the fatal blow of the horned viper, and then slowly consume the horned viper. The horned viper will be defeated without a fight, and then the desert cat will bite the horned viper's head accurately, and then use its sharp teeth to crush the horned viper's head.
After the horned viper dies, the desert cat will suck the horned viper's blood like a vampire. Then he will eat the horned viper like a spicy strip.
His snake catching success rate is as high as 80%. Drink the blood of a snake and you can go without water for 30 days.
Although the desert cat is known as the tiger of the desert, it also has many natural enemies. Like hyenas , eagles, and foxes, they can easily take away his fragile life.
The biggest enemy of desert cats is humans
But the biggest enemy of desert cats is humans. Because desert cats look petite and cute, with round eyes and cute looks, they are very popular.
So there are always people who want to take it as their own, so some people specialize in catching and selling desert cats. Its number is decreasing day by day, and it is almost on the verge of extinction.
Moreover, desert cats have completely adapted to the cruel and free living environment of the desert and cannot accept life in captivity by humans at all. Therefore, many captured desert cats will be raised to death by fake cat lovers.
If you love it, you must give it freedom, not possession!
Although I am also a cat lover, I still like that desert cats can live freely in the Sahara Desert and be their own little bullies!
instead of being imprisoned to death by humans. To love it is to give it freedom, not possession! Humans and animals are the same. Do you think so in front of the screen? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss.
