old saying: one pig, two bears and three tigers. When people encounter wild boars, they have to run quickly. Why is this? Why do people think that among the kings of the jungle, the risk factor of wild boars is so high?
First of all, we have to start with the habits of wild boars, bears and tigers.
As the saying goes: "One mountain cannot contain two tigers", which is based on the living habits of tigers. Tigers generally live alone in the jungle, roaming around, and only choose to stay with the female tiger during the mating period. Tigers are very territorial, and they usually use urine to mark, scratch and grind tree trunks, and leave their own hair to delineate their sphere of influence.
Tigers are very afraid of heat due to physical reasons, which leads to the habit of tigers to be nocturnal. Especially in summer, tigers are reluctant to act under the hot sun, which also makes tigers very good swimming skills. Tigers are usually dominated by large animals such as wild boars and bison, and occasionally hunt small animals and eat some grass.
Let's talk about bears again. Bears and tigers have many habits very similar. Both types of animals like to be active at night and live alone. They live with female bears only during the mating period. Bears are forest-dwelling animals and generally live in dense forests above 3,000 meters. Only in winter can they move to areas below 3,000 meters.
Bears are omnivores. They are generally dominated by grass, tree buds, fruits, etc. They also hunt small animals or catch fish to improve their taste. In addition, they have a special habit, that is, most bears hibernate in winter.
Finally, let's talk about wild boars. Wild boars are usually herd animals. When the number is large, it may reach more than 10, usually led by an old sow.Wild boars also delineate their sphere of influence. They like to live in moist areas on the banks of rivers with water and trees. Although wild boars also have a nocturnal habit, they are not as hardy as bears. Therefore, in the winter and daylight, they will also come out in groups to forage for food.
Wild boars are also omnivores like bears, but wild boars generally like to eat twigs and leaves, carrion, bugs, etc. When food is scarce, they dig into the crop fields to forage for food.
After understanding the basic habits of wild boars, bears and tigers, let's take a look at how the saying "one pig, two bears and three tigers" came from. How did the wild boar sit firmly on the first throne?
First of all, these words are summed up by us, why are these three animals? Naturally, because in ancient times, we had more contact with these three types of animals.
Tigers generally live in deep mountains and old forests, while bears live in jungles several kilometers high. Both types of animals have strong territorial awareness, and will only attack the intruder when a person enters their territory. Humans only enter the mountains under special circumstances, and they only stay there for a short time, so this greatly reduces the chance of meeting between humans and tigers and bears.
Secondly, bears will enter a hibernation period in winter, and the chances of encountering humans are relatively reduced. Although bears tend to be irritable during mating, they will attack other animals and even their own kind. However, because its estrus period is limited, the chance of humans encountering is very small, so the number of attacks on humans is not as good as that of wild boars.
Wild boars usually live in the woods along the river bank, which overlaps with the places where humans usually move. This leads to the inevitable conflicts between humans and wild boars for territory. Secondly, unlike bears and tigers, wild boars are solitary animals, but gregarious animals, and the ability of wild boars to bite their teeth is no less than that of bears and tigers.In this way, people will be in a very dangerous situation after encountering wild boars. The most important thing is that wild boars like to steal crops from crops, such as potatoes and corn, and they travel in groups, young and old. If she encounters someone who comes to drive her away, the old sow is eager to protect her cub, and will attack the person who comes to drive her away desperately.
With the continuous expansion of human beings, more and more forests are developed, and more and more rivers are used for irrigation. Among them, wild boars with amazing reproductive ability are the first to enter the field of vision of human beings, and they are also the most prone to conflict with humans.
Then, both bears and tigers live deep in the jungle. If they have enough food, they are reluctant to intrude into human activity areas, thus reducing the number of contact with humans.
Therefore, in the sentence "one pig, two bears and three tigers", the wild boar is ranked first.
Alright, that's it for this issue, what do you think?
