This scene happened in the British zoo: the female tiger entered the estrus period and tried to communicate with the soul of the male tiger living together, but was bitten to death by the male tiger.
Sinda
Female tiger is called Xinda, 14 years old this year, and has been to the local zoo in the UK since 2010. The male tiger is named Milong. He came to the zoo in 2020 and is already 6 years old.
Sinda, this tiger has a gentle personality and is loved by breeders and tourists. The tiger Milong has a relatively unstable personality, and both breeders and tourists pay more attention.
Sinda interacts with tourists
According to the provisions of the European Animal Protection Plan: When a tiger arrives at the zoo for 2 years, the tiger is familiar with the surrounding environment, and the breeder needs to help them reproduce and protect their population.
Milong has been here at the zoo for two years. This year, the keeper sent a "wife" to Milong according to regulations. After the delivery, they let them live together with both eating and sleeping, so as to cultivate their feelings and wait for the arrival of their estrus period.
After a period of time, Milong and Xinda got along very harmoniously. Every time they had soul communication, the keeper did not find any abnormalities.
Sinda
However, on November 12 this year, Xinda called out to the other party with the "tiger roar", trying to get close to Milong and communicate with his soul, but Milong changed his usual appearance and attacked Xinda. Xinda eventually died of excessive injuries.
The news came into the country on November 18, and Cinda died. The British zoo keeper said: This is not the first time this happened. Previously, when Miron was in the Copenhagen Zoo, a female Siberian tiger was courting, and Miron bit him to death.
Early in a zoo in Manhattan, a female tiger courted, and the male tiger refused and hunted her to death.
Why does tigers have this behavior? Is it intentional or murder?
For this phenomenon, researchers in the dynamic world generally believe that "the possibility of manslaughter is relatively high."
Although the tiger is the king of the jungle, it has a certain indescribable hidden secret in reproduction.
Barbs on tiger's mouth
As a cat, tigers will have certain barbs on their genitals. These barbs will cause the female tiger to feel strong pain when they communicate with their souls.
If the female tiger feels too strong in pain, it will instinctively burst out its own aggressiveness.
At this time, for safety reasons, male tigers usually bite the female tiger's neck to prevent the female tiger from attacking the male tiger.
At this time, it is easy to cause the death of female tigers.
Even if some female tigers resist, the pain does not disappear and their combat effectiveness will be reduced. At this time, the original soul communication will evolve into a fight scene, and the defeated tiger will end with death.
Here we need to explain: the barbs grown in these special places in cannot be removed, but are the tiger's protector.
The husband and wife system in the tiger world is polygamy, which means that at this moment, there may be other tiger residues in the body of the object of soul communication, and the barb can clear the residue.
In addition, tigers are affected by the environment and have a relatively low conception rate, only 20%-50%, but each soul communication lasts only a few seconds, so they can only complete conception through multiple communications. barbs may help the probability of successful conception, and in this way the reproduction of race is accomplished.
When a female tiger becomes pregnant, it will expel the male tiger, its temper will become irritable, and the male tiger will automatically stay away.
Because male tigers will cruelly kill their cubs just to complete reproduction.
Female tigers are dedicated to taking care of their cubs, and without these intentions, the male tiger believes that it can complete reproduction after being killed. Therefore, female tigers generally do not let male tigers approach, and even their biological fathers only approach them occasionally.As they approached, the female tiger remained vigilant in her eyes.
Only after the cub matures will the female tiger look for a partner for soul communication again, usually this cycle is 3 years.
However, the number of tigers is decreasing now, and many tigers cannot find a partner, and the population is threatened, so humans have various protection plans.
Like the scene at the beginning of the article is an accident in the planned process. Further research is needed to effectively avoid this situation.
