It is said that it can "kill tigers and slaughter elephants". It has a very special mark and has a unique word "M" on its forehead. It is very rare because it understands invisibility . It is the best among the cats and the "Biao" in ancient Chinese sayings. It is known as Jin Biao, and is called the divine beast, and its scientific name is Jinmao.
Tiger has three sons, and there must be one treasure. The golden cat looks similar to a tiger but not a tiger, and its body shape is very consistent with the "Biao" described by the ancients; the Biao is between a tiger and a leopard, which shows its ferocity. Thailand even calls the golden cat "fire tiger". According to legend, as long as people carry Jin Biao's hair, the tiger will retreat.
Two Jin Biaos were found in Laohegou, Sichuan. The female beast carefully tested every step. The cub was happy and hiding
Recently, when the staff of Laohegou Nature Reserve in Pingwu County, Sichuan Province were sorting out infrared camera video materials, they found two Jin Biaos, one big and one small, appeared in the picture. Experts determined that this was a mother and son, and they came out to find food. The little cub jumped behind the female beast, very lively.
Female Jin Biao acted carefully in the forest. A slight noise would make it stop and observe. Every step forward should be carefully tested. Perhaps it is because there are cubs to protect it, and it is particularly cautious. It will gradually relax its vigilance after the mother Jin Biao is familiar with the regional environment.
Laohegou once recorded that Jin Biao hunted and ate the hairy deer, and the mother-son combination appeared for the first time
Jin Biao, a mysterious cat animal, was photographed, and it was rare for a mother and son to appear this time. For the place where biodiversity is located in the old river gourd in Sichuan, this time Jin Biao was photographed for the second time this year. The first time was in March. Jin Biao hunted a wool-crowned deer and was photographed while enjoying her joyfully.
You should know that Jin Biao's weight is generally 10-15 kg, while Mao Guanlu's weight is generally 30 kg. In comparison, Mao Guanlu's weight is twice that of Jin Biao, but Jin Biao can easily hunt it.
can kill prey several times larger than itself, and its hunting hardware is stronger. It also makes good use of strategies
Although Jin Biao is not as big as tigers and leopard , its hunting hardware is not bad at all: sharp teeth and sharp claws. In addition, Jin Biao is also good at using strategies. Camouflage and ambush are common methods used by cats.
For small animals, Jin Biao can handle it easily, and for large animals like wild boars, sometimes it dares to attack them. Of course, the ones with higher success rates are wild boar cubs and sub-adult bodies.
Jin Biao has a wide range of food, from mice to wild boars, all of which are on its recipes
For excellent hunters like Jin Biao, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, they can handle all of them. Of course, their staple food is still animals running on the ground. Sometimes, in order to change the taste, they will climb up the trees to pick up bird eggs. When they become ruthless, they will eat them together with the bird mother, and occasionally go to the river to catch fish, but this situation is less common.
Jinbiao has a wide range of food, ranging from deer and wild boars that are hundreds of kilograms to lizards and mice. As a carnivore, Jin Biao occasionally eats some plants to regulate his body in order to promote digestion and defecation.
will also go down the mountain to steal livestock. You must first bite the spine and suck the spinal cord, and then peel and eat meat
In the season of food scarcity, Jin Biao will also go down the mountain to steal livestock. They love to eat chicken the most, which is somewhat similar to its cousin leopard cat . Of course, it is possible that the size of the chicken happens to be the size of their favorite prey, so it is more convenient to kill.
Sometimes they will also hunt lamb and calves . After they successfully hunt vertebrates, they will first bite the spine and enjoy the spinal cord inside, and then peel and eat meat. They do not eat the internal organs first like some canine animals.
has a handsome face, with a "M" on the top of the head, like the face of the general in Peking Opera
Jin Biao has a handsome face, which is naturally pleasing to the eye. It is hard to say that the top of the head is dark gray, with light spots on the sides of the lips and the inner edge of the upper eyelid, and a dark stripe pattern on the upper corners of the eyes extending to the top of the head, forming a "M" character, which looks like the face of the general in PE.
Jin Biao's size is equivalent to Chinese pastoral dog . He looks like a domestic cat, has a body toned body, with a body length of 65-105 cm. The male is generally longer, and his tail is about half of the body. The tail is white internally and can be easily seen when raised.
Jin Biao is all golden? There are a lot of patterns, each one corresponds to a nice name
Many people think that Jin Biao's body hair is golden, but in fact it has many fur colors, including red, black, black gray, spotted colors, etc. The above colors also correspond to a nice name: Red Toon Leopard, Dark Cloud Leopard , Sesame Leopard, and Climb Leopard.
Different colors represent different subspecies. If two different colors of Jinbiao combine, they may give birth to another subspecies of the color, just like the classic couple relationship of leopard and black panther. The cubs born may be leopards or black panthers, and may also be the third unknown color.
Reproduction is not affected by the season. When encountering a favorite object, you can pass on the family line throughout the year
In terms of reproduction, Jin Biao does not have a fixed breeding period and can reproduce at will without seasonal restrictions throughout the year. Female estrus will last for one week each time, and then will estrus again after 39 days intervals, and it will repeat itself over and over again.
That is to say, as long as Jin Biao meets a suitable partner, they can pass on the family line throughout the year, with a pregnancy period of about 2 and a half months to 3 months. Generally, one child is given for each baby, and there will be occasional twins or triplets.
cubs are weaned at half a year old and independently active when they are 9 months old. At this time, the mother will teach all life skills and hunting skills to the cubs, and the cubs can fully master them with their mothers for 2-3 months internship.
Jin Biao is a solitary animal. Her cub leaves her mother at the age of 1 and embarks on a journey to find territory. When she is 2 years old, she will fall in love and start a family, and then she will grow up.
was once widely distributed and has become very rare. In the past 20 years, the global distribution range has been reduced by 68%
Jin Biao belongs to national first-class protected animal . It was once a vast area of central China, east China, south China and southwest . In recent years, it has been scattered and scattered in northern and western Sichuan, western and southern Yunnan, as well as southeast Tibet and southern Shaanxi. Their habitats also cover types from tropical and subtropical forests to alpine meadows.
According to relevant data records released in Global Ecology and Protection in 2021, the global distribution of Jinbiao has decreased by 68% in the past 20 years, and may continue to decrease in the future.
According to experts' analysis, the sharp decline in the number of wild Jinbiao population has a lot to do with rampant poaching. In some Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam, they often use Jinbiao skin instead of tiger skin to make some products and sell them illegally. In addition, humans destroy the ecological environment, which damages their habitats is also one of the important factors.
Conclusion:
Jin Biao, this mysterious and beautiful cat, we should protect them, protect their habitats, and say NO to all poaching behaviors.
