The spotted hyena's head hair was stained with blood, and a strong smell of blood wafted through the air.

The zebra's dark eyes occasionally flickered with a glimmer of light, making one wonder if it was dead or not.

Bi Fang sighed with emotion: "As of today, there are no more than 30 zebras domesticated by humans. ”

"That's a pretty sparse number."

Since 1890, European colonizers have accelerated their plundering in Africa, and in order to solve the problem that ordinary horses cannot adapt to the hot regions of Africa, Europeans began to try to domesticate three local zebras, namely plain zebras, fine striped zebras and mountain zebras, but they were unsuccessful.

It wasn't until the filming of "Zebra Race" that the locals finally trained ten zebras seriously, but unfortunately, it took a lot of effort to find the most professional trainers, and spent a lot of time, and in the end, only two of them were successfully tamed and able to ride safely, and the other zebras could only be responsible for carrying goods.

"It is very difficult to domesticate zebras, and neither Africans nor European colonizers can complete such a difficult task, which may be related to the fact that they live in groups without a leader."

[Outrageous]

[Taming is always a two-way process]

[Zebra: When I'm stupid]

[Zebra is an old murderer, last time I went to the zoo to play, it turned out that there was a woman, still young, to touch the zebra, the middle finger was bitten off, and the blood was poor]

[It's really fake, I'm a little scared]

[See it with your own eyes]

The hyenas bite at the zebra, and when the zebra's belly is peeled open, a larger spotted hyena squeezes into the hyena pack, and the rest of the hyenas dodge and watch as the big hyena bites in the zebra's belly and drags out a piece of fat liver.

"It should be the leader of the hyena pack."

Bi Fang guessed, "Hyenas have a strict social organization, and the 'mother leader' when foraging for food always gets the largest and best piece of meat, and this is a matter of course. ”

Hyenas are matrilineal social systems in which females are about 10% heavier than males, and are the strongest, dominant of both sexes.

The next generation born to a female hyena with a low status is also of low status, and other female hyenas must be responsible for helping to care for the puppies.

When the leader took out the fattest liver and enjoyed it alone, the rest of the hyenas excitedly began to share the meal.

The lion pack next to it is similar in form, except that compared to the matriarchal society of spotted hyenas, the lion pack is a different form, with the male lion with a mane starting first, followed by the female lione, and finally the lion cub.

Bi Fang smiled at this situation: "Don't think there is anything wrong with the male lion, the African lion is the only kind of social feline, they have complex social attributes, in a lion group, although the lioness is responsible for hunting and raising the cubs, but the male lion is not light, it is responsible for patrolling the territory, resisting the invasion of other lions and hyenas and other opponents." ”

"Because the pressure to defend the territory is almost all on the male lion, plus the fact that he has to fight every day, the average lifespan of the male lion is several years less than the average life expectancy of the lioness."

The last leopard didn't have so many twists and turns, and the whole ostrich was caught by itself, and there was no companion, so it naturally enjoyed it alone, and it didn't even look at the wild dogs around it.

Blood dripped down the leopard's beard, and the temperament was fierce and ferocious, completely different from the cunning of the hyenas and the might of the lions, and the style of painting was very different.

Compared to not having to compete with its companions, the leopard ate extremely quickly, filling its stomach in almost less than ten minutes, and chose to leave.

"In the animal world, competition is fierce, even the food of the lions can be snatched by hyenas, in order to avoid unnecessary disputes, almost everyone has developed the ability to eat quickly, like hyenas, which can basically eat the whole prey in half an hour until only the bones are left."

Bi Fang was barely thirty meters away from the lions at this time, less than twenty-five meters away from the hyenas, and he could clearly hear the sound of the animals chewing on pieces of meat, as well as their dull breathing.

This distance is already quite close, and many viewers are frightened and sweaty in their palms.

When the leopard had eaten and drunk enough to leave, the African wild dogs on the side swarmed up and drowned the entire ostrich.

The order in which they eat is different from that of lions and spotted hyenas.

"African dingoes live in close packs, they hunt together and raise their cubs together. Although they do not have a large size advantage in the African savannah, they can often hunt large herbivores such as antelopes, wildebeests, and zebras by relying on the strength of the group. ”

"And in terms of performance, the dingo is a more loving family, especially when it comes to young pups. If the pups are also present at the hunt site, adult dingoes tend to let the puppies eat first and then eat them themselves. ”

"If the pups are far away from the hunting site, the adult dingoes will feed themselves first, then run to the house and spit out the meat and feed it to the puppies, the dingos who care for the puppies, and the old, sick, and disabled dingoes that are unable to hunt."

"When eating, dingoes are humble to each other, and a piece of meat often passes through the stomachs of several dingoes."

[Is it so cute?] 】

[Actually, I've always wanted to ask, why does this African wild dog look like a raccoon cat {dog head}]

【Too loving】

The African spotted hyena is the first to eat by females, the male is the first to eat by lions, and when it comes to dingoes, it becomes the pups to eat first.

The three distinct feeding sequences once again reveal the completely different characteristics of the animals in the African savannah.

Several cubs, which were significantly smaller, staggered out of the pack of wild dogs, and under the protection of the larger dogs, began to bite at the ostriches.

Perhaps because they are not yet grown, fresh ostrich meat is still a challenge for their teeth.

Seeing this scene, Bi Fang lay directly on the grass, prostrate one step closer to them, and began to explain with great interest.

"Actually, the African wild dog is a very unique creature."

"In the Handbook of Mammal Behavior in Africa, published in 1992, there were recorded sightings of a group of variegated wolves near the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro at 5,895 meters."

The author of this book is Richard Brown, a well-known ethiobehavioral scientist and assistant professor of mammals at the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University. Esters. ”

"In 12 years, when the book was republished as the '20th Anniversary Special Edition', Wilson, the great god of animal behavior and the grandfather of sociobiology, also made a preface."

"With the endorsement of these scientists, the variegated wolf is almost certainly the 'tallest' canine in the world."

[It's over, I don't know anyone]

[Can say it from Fang Shen's mouth, what is the probability of a super elder]

[What is a variegated wolf, is it another name for these wild dogs?] 】

That's right, the name variegated wolf is confusing even for many researchers in China who are very familiar with African mammals. But if you translate 'variegated wolf' into Greek or Latin, you might suddenly realize. ”

When Bi Fang explained, a barrage will automatically appear in the live broadcast room, and different subtitles will be displayed according to the region, which greatly facilitates the audience's understanding.

This is also a very old feature of the system, which is very useful, so that viewers around the world can do it at a glance.

"Ly pictus, which is its scientific name, comes from the Greek word meaning 'like a wolf', and Pictus comes from Latin and means 'painted'."

"Derived from this Latin scientific name, there is an English common name, called painted wolf, which is also the real origin of 'variegated wolf'."

"And the name Painted Wolf is a very accurate description of this animal in the literal sense alone: it looks like a wolf, has a colorful body, and is generally black, white, yellow and orange, like a three-flowered cat that has slapped a lake, which can be said to be the most appropriate name, but it is only the one that is not widely accepted and used among the many English common names for this animal."
