In ancient China, people worshipped the image of tigers. Especially in the military, we can hear the title of "tiger" in various works, which is actually a soldier specially used to dispatch troops. However, with the passage of time, with the intentional or unintentional intervention of human beings, tigers have now become endangered protected animals.

Not only that, because tigers themselves are solitary creatures, no matter what methods scientists use, the number of tigers has not increased significantly.

In order to find a solution to this problem, scientists start with the breeding of tigers, hoping to increase the number of tiger groups by improving tigers. However, after research, it is found that the improvement of wild tigers is more difficult than artificial breeding.

Unique feline

As we all know, the tiger belongs to a kind of cat, and its appearance is roughly the same as that of a cat. But other than that, tigers and cats are basically gone.

Anyone who has ever owned a cat knows that cats are sexual in themselves. In the same family, even if there are many kittens, they can live in peace. But for tigers, this kind of rescue is totally unacceptable to them.

Not only that, tigers and cats are completely different in reproduction. The first is the choice of time. Anyone who has ever owned a cat knows that it is almost possible to own a cat except in the hottest time of the year. Only in the better breeding season, mainly in spring and autumn.

In contrast, tigers, as the top of the food chain, rarely worry about food shortage. So in theory, tigers, like cats, are possible all year round. But in fact, almost all tigers choose 1 1 to April.

Second, the specific behavior is different. After the beginning, the cat was relatively peaceful, and even if there was conflict, it was within the controllable range. But tigers are different. For tigers, reproduction itself is a very risky thing.

If it is not the need to reproduce, the male tiger is not even willing to take the initiative to approach the female tiger's territory. We all know that "tigress" is an exaggeration, but the actual data show that male tigers can't beat female tigers.

Therefore, before starting, the male tiger must ensure that he has enough vigilance, and then he must leave the female tiger's territory immediately. Once the female tiger finds the male tiger staying in her own territory, the final result is likely to be one death and one injury.

signal

Many people will think, since tigers are solitary animals, how can we ensure that other tigers can reach their territory within a certain period of time?

This has something to do with the tiger's territorial choice. Data show that although tigers are solitary creatures, they are almost all male and female. Because of this, the male tiger can only arrive at a time after the female tiger signals.

Although the female tiger's territory is about 20 kilometers, the male tiger's territory is between 60- 100 kilometers, but as long as it is in a year, the male tiger will take the initiative to approach the female tiger's territory.

When the tigress really starts, she will leave a special smell on the boundary of her territory. As long as the male tiger smells this, he will know that the female tiger has entered the stage, and it is relatively safe to enter the female tiger's territory at this time.

In addition, the female tiger will attract the surrounding male tigers in the form of "tiger roar", and this "tiger roar" will gradually stop until the male tiger arrives.

A slow and cautious process.

Even so, after receiving the signal from the mother tiger, the male tiger will be careful and not careless at all. In this process, the male tiger will slowly pace around the female tiger and always pay attention to the reaction of the female tiger. Only when the female tiger does not show any resistance will the male tiger start the next move.

In the whole process, the male tiger will always bite the neck of the female tiger and judge whether the other's menstrual period is over through the resistance of the female tiger. Once the female tiger begins to break free from resistance, it means that its period is over, and the male tiger must leave at once.

Not only that, but the barb on the whip of the male tiger tiger was also speculated by scientists to protect his life.

When the tiger penis enters the female tiger, it will cause the barb to open completely and forcibly "lock". In this case, if the tigress chooses to struggle and resist, she is likely to hurt herself. But everything has two sides. Whether the female tiger's resistance makes the male tiger's whip so strange, or whether this strangeness leads to the female tiger's strong aggression, scientists have so far been unable to make a judgment.

Generally speaking, the female tiger's menstrual period will last about five or six days, mainly because the female tiger's time is not fixed, so it is necessary to ensure its success during the menstrual period.

This period of time is a rare time for females and males to hunt and eat together. But after this time, if the male tiger doesn't leave as soon as possible, it will be regarded as a provocation by the female tiger.

A man of steel is not gentle.

So after the tiger is over, will there be a scene where the male tiger stays near the female tiger's territory and refuses to leave? The answer is yes, but the reason is not that I am reluctant to part with the mother tiger. The "iron man tenderness" in human imagination is completely impossible.

When I was a child, we all heard the word "the tiger doesn't eat the child", but there is a premise that the tiger doesn't eat the child, and that is the tiger's own child.

If it is the child of other tigers, there will not be much consideration. You know, when you are a female tiger, it may be more than just a male tiger. In order to compete for power, it is normal for two male tigers to fight outside the female tiger's territory.

After the final decision, the winning tiger will enter the tigress's territory and tigress. But at this time, another loser tiger may not leave.

Scientists have found that if tiger cubs are killed by other animals, the female tiger will come back in a week or so. Therefore, the male tiger who failed in the struggle wandered outside, probably just waiting for a chance to start, hoping to regain power. It turns out that the male tiger didn't leave, mainly to protect his children from harm.

However, according to the existing data, this situation is still relatively rare. The tiger itself is not only an animal that likes to live alone, but also a creature that likes to avoid conflicts with its own kind as much as possible.

Not only that, the male tiger's territory is too big, and the possibility of several male tigers appearing together is naturally small. As long as he can find the right female tiger, the male tiger will never make this decision.

Of course, for tigers, the most important thing is always reproduction and survival, and the feelings in human eyes will never appear in the tiger world. All the behaviors we see can basically be understood as the normal phenomenon of tiger's own reproduction.

Raising young animals

After confirming the safety of his cubs, the male tiger will leave the territory and the cubs will be completely raised by the female tiger. Although adult tigers exist at the top of the food chain, newborn tigers still have many natural enemies. In particular, carnivores such as wolves, foxes and snakes will never be polite when they find the mother tiger absent.

Tiger cubs must be breastfed until they are six months old. At the same time, these six months are also the most dangerous six months in the tiger's life.

However, during this period, the cubs actually ensured their own survival. With a strong sense of smell, cubs can tell whether the mother tiger is around. If not, the cubs will behave very quietly; Only when the female tiger comes home will the young tiger make noise again.

In addition, in fact, in order to protect the safety of the cubs, the mother tiger will also choose many hidden places to raise the cubs. As long as the young tiger is two years old, the responsibility of raising the mother tiger is completed. At this time, no matter how reluctant the cubs are, they must leave their mothers and go out to find their own territory.

Compared with the mother tiger, the performance of the male tiger is really unbearable, showing no sense of responsibility at all. But in fact, there are also cases in which male tigers raise young tigers in nature.

When the female tiger dies unexpectedly, the male tiger will take over the responsibility of raising it. It is also after ensuring that the cubs have enough behavioral ability that the male tiger will let them find their own territory.

Protection of wild animals

In fact, tiger breeding has completely ended at this stage. When the cubs grow up, the number of tigers will naturally increase. Unfortunately, in the development process of recent decades, due to the influence of environmental changes and human activities, tigers have become endangered animals, and there are not even 4,000 wild tigers in the world.

For many people, tigers are definitely full of treasures. In order to earn corresponding benefits, these people will take risks to hunt tigers. With the help of modern technology, even the tigers at the top of the food chain are no rivals at all, and finally they can only be imprisoned in cages.

There used to be a public service slogan called "no buying and selling, no killing". Without benefits, there will naturally be no tigers. In fact, when the tiger, a natural predator, is extinct, the ecosystem will definitely be greatly affected. At that time, can human beings bear the changes that followed?

In addition, although human beings have firmly occupied the dominant position by relying on their own wisdom and modern technology, if we use this power to slaughter other creatures, there will be fewer and fewer creatures in nature. What is the difference between this and other animals?

Since the completion of industry, human civilization has progressed faster and faster, and entered the fastest development stage for thousands of years.

But at the same time, people are becoming more and more interested in nature, and more and more animals are in danger. Is this what humans want to see? Assuming that in the distant future, only we humans are alive on earth, it would be too lonely.

Tigers, reproduction and survival, itself is a very painful thing. A young tiger wants to live and grow healthily, and the dangers it faces are unimaginable to human beings. In addition, the tiger has only a 50% chance of surviving without a mother, which is absolutely terrible. Under such circumstances, we should be kind to tigers.

Many people may think that it is good to further improve the artificial cultivation technology, but where can scientific research be so simple? Moreover, the tiger itself is the king of the forest. Even if the research is really successful, it is impossible to keep the tiger growing in an artificial environment, which is too cruel for the tiger.

Therefore, we must understand the important reasons for protecting wild tigers and biodiversity. After all, only when people get along with animals can the ecological circle be truly balanced.

The above is related to what a tiger born in 1986 is, and it is about the sharing of tigers. After reading 1998, what is the tiger? I hope this will help everyone!
