The weasel This creature has become a target of public criticism due to the proverb "A weasel is not kind to a chicken when it pays New Year greetings to a chicken." Almost everyone thinks it is ominous when it is mentioned, which makes the weasel particularly unpopular.
Weasels are very common in rural areas of my country. They are usually active in woods or fields. Rats, moles and hares in the fields are all their prey targets. Once targeted, it is difficult to escape. The more powerful weasels can catch five or six mice in one go, and domestic livestock often cannot escape their clutches.
Especially for a creature like a chicken, "a weasel borrows a chicken—it never returns what it borrows." There are many folk proverbs indicating that weasels’ crazy hunting of chickens brings great headache and boredom to almost every household.
In fact, the weasel's hunting skills for chickens can be said to follow the principle of natural selection and have evolved to perfection. They have long known that chickens have poor eyesight, so they are very good at picking the opportunity to catch chickens. As night falls, the farmers who have worked hard all day have gone to bed. The weasel comes to the chicken shed when no one is prepared, and basically catches every one. The chicken that was dragged out could not see the road clearly and ran slowly, so its neck was quickly bitten off by the weasel and it died. The screams of chickens woke up the owner, but when he ran out, the weasel had long disappeared. He could only feel sad and gnash his teeth at the weasel. Such a weasel was indeed very annoying.
But whether it is a dog or a cat at home, there is nothing you can do about it. The weasel has a pair of smell glands , which can secrete an intolerable secretion. Whether it is a human or an animal, if you are unfortunately hit by its secretion, it may cause dizziness or nausea and vomiting. In severe cases, Become unconscious. For humans and ordinary animals, the weasel is a dangerous animal.
We know that cats’ attack power and damage are also off the charts, but how does it compare with weasels? A doctor once studied the bite force of the weasel, and its bite force can be regarded as the most powerful animal in combat. If a cat fights with a weasel, who will win?
Cats are highly defensive animals. When they feel threatened, they will reveal their sharp claws and fangs and launch a violent attack. As a wild animal, the weasel is more ferocious in nature. It often bites the opponent's neck when it is caught off guard, killing it. What's more, most of today's cats are domesticated, and their hunting awareness is far less than that of weasels. If you see a weasel, you can only run away.
Is there no one who can cure the hateful weasel? has it, the answer is goose .
First of all, geese are much larger than weasels, especially adult geese, which weigh at least thirty kilograms. Weasels are small and can only attack creatures about the same size as themselves. When faces a goose, it's like an 80-pound thin man wrestling with a 200-pound fat man . Even before entering the battlefield, you can guess who will be thrown out.
Secondly, the ferocity and attack power of the goose are not inferior to that of the weasel. Geese like to attack people with their mouths. Children in rural areas are probably chased by giant geese . The big goose is not only not afraid of children, but also adults. Maybe you don't even know where you offended it, and it is possible for you to be chased everywhere by it suddenly, even chasing you across the road. This is true for humans, let alone a weasel.
ends with the cry of a goose. The goose's loud cry, coupled with the majestic figure swaying when walking, make the weasel look much smaller in terms of imposing manner.
The above three reasons do not seem to be enough to explain why geese can scare weasels. In fact, there is a more scientific explanation. It turns out that the secret is hidden in the eyes of geese. The goose's eyes are a convex lens structure. When the goose looks at an object, it sees the object's reduced form. Therefore, even if it encounters a tiger, it will be regarded as a small animal by the geese, and it will rush towards and attack fiercely. This also explains why geese are so arrogant towards people. So in the eyes of geese, weasels are no longer the same as ants .It can be said that if you see a weasel once and handle it once, no wonder the weasel hides far away.
The goose is highly aggressive. In addition to the confidence that its eyesight gives it, it is also related to the brain's nervous system.
Scientists have discovered that there is a special type of neurons in the limbic system of animals' brains, which are rich in serotonin and norepinephrine. When norepinephrine is high, aggression increases. The goose known as the "goose bully" may be regulated by the limbic system, which greatly increases serotonin and noradrenaline on certain occasions, thus producing strong aggression.
Geese not only lay eggs, but can also take care of homes and homes, so farmers like to keep these animals in captivity.
Geese have been domesticated as poultry by humans for thousands of years. Geese, like dogs, have a housekeeping instinct. In their consciousness, this is a duty . For this reason, geese are also called "goose security guards".
Guess who is the ancestor of the goose? It's a wild goose. When a group of geese are eating, a sentinel goose will stand guard and be alert to the surrounding environment. This instinct also extends to geese. If there are geese next to the chickens, the geese will start to stand guard when the chickens are pecking or sleeping at night. If the geese are present, the poultry will be safe.
