Sichuan Ganzi found a "nine-section wolf" hanging on a branch. After being frightened, he would applaud and beg for mercy
Litang County, located in Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan, is famous all over the country for Dingzhen, which makes many people know such a beautiful place. Litang is located in the west of Sichuan, southwest of Ganzi Prefecture, and belongs to the white wolf land of the Han Dynasty. Because the traffic has been blocked since ancient times, it belongs to the southwest hinterland, so the ecological environment is relatively well preserved. The scenery here is beautiful, dominated by hill-shaped plateaus and mountain original landforms, as well as some alpine valleys, which belong to plateau climate in terms of climate type. The unique geographical environment and climatic environment have created a unique ecological type. Litang is rich in wildlife resources and high in biodiversity, among which there are many national first-class protected animals such as snow leopard, leopard, horse musk deer, white-lipped deer, jade belt sea eagle, and golden eagle. With the improvement of the ecological environment, the awareness of animal protection is gradually gaining popularity, and the population of many wild animals is increasing, which means that the probability of people witnessing them in daily life is also higher. In fact, encounters with wild animals have indeed occurred more often than ever over the years. In particular, some animals with fast population growth, such as wild boars, have even reached the point of local flooding and frequently break into people's sight. In addition to these animals, the number of rare and rare animals is also increasing. Recently, a villager in Litang discovered the endangered species of red panda on the mountain. A red panda "hangs" on the branch, which is called the nine-section wolf
A villager in Litang County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan , When I was going up the mountain to pick up pine mushrooms recently, I inadvertently saw that there was some movement on a big tree with lush branches and leaves. It looked like a small animal was "hanging" on it. At first, the villagers thought it was a monkey and didn't pay much attention to it, but after looking carefully for a while, they found that the animal didn't look much like a monkey, but a bit like a cat. After the video was taken, it was identified by professionals that this animal actually has a great background. It is a very precious red panda, and its scientific name is the red panda. Because its tail is very distinctive, with 9 brown-black and brown-yellow rings on it, it is also called "nine-segmented wolf" by folks. Although it has the title of "panda", in fact, the nine-section wolf is nothing like a real giant panda. Its body is more like a fat cat, with a plump body and a face similar to that of a raccoon, but the nine-section wolf is not at all like a real giant panda. The fur of wolves is more colorful. The nine-section wolf is an animal of the red panda family and the genus Red panda. The hair on its body is mainly reddish brown, with white markings on its cheeks, a round face and big ears, stubby limbs, a long and thick tail, and the hair on it is very fluffy. The nine-section wolf is a very cute animal. In 2013, CNN selected the world's cutest species, and it ranked thirteenth on the list. The third place was a giant panda, and the first place was taken by the fennec fox. The nine-segmented wolves that were "thrown around" eventually became independent families
As we all know, what we now call cats, dogs, and bears are all are systematically classified by experts. Science is developing, and in different periods, the basis for classification is also different. The further back in time, the more scientific the classification method. For example, in the early days, people generally classified animals according to their external characteristics, and later they developed more scientific DNA sequencing. Therefore, at different stages in the past, there will be some changes in the classification of some animals. For example, cheetahs. Earlier, classical taxonomy classified cheetahs into the subfamily Cheetah. Later, contemporary molecular systematics did not recognize the subfamily Cheetahs, and merged them into the subfamily Felines. Together with cougars and slender cats, they formed a pedigree. The fate of the nine-section wolf in the history of classification is more "miserable" than that of the cheetah. In 1825, the French zoologist Frederick took the lead in describing this species to the world and classified it into the raccoon family, which is considered a close relative of the little raccoon. With the development of time, people's understanding of the nine-section wolf has also deepened, and gradually they thought that it was inappropriate to be classified under the raccoon family, so they were transferred to the panda subfamily, and later they were mentioned under the bear family. Going round and round, as the classification method became more and more advanced, they eventually became a separate family, the red panda family, which belongs to the superfamily Mustelidae together with the raccoon family, the weasel family, and the skunk family. The "otaku" who does not like activities will "applaud and surrender" when frightened.
The nine-section wolf is a forest-dwelling animal that prefers warmth and humidity. Cold-resistant, generally active in forests at an altitude of 2500-4800 meters. Like giant pandas, Jiujie wolves don’t like to be active. They like to stay in their caves and nearby places. Their staple food is bamboo, but compared to giant pandas, they are more willing to find some berries, eggs, insects, etc. something to eat. In addition to foraging for food, Jiujielang's favorite thing to do is to lie on his stomach and bask in the sun. He is a complete "otaku". After eating and drinking, Jiujie wolves like to go to the sun-facing stones or tree tops near the cave to enjoy the sunshine, so people in some places in Sichuan call them "mountain dun'er". Don't look at its common name of nine-section wolf, but it has no wolf nature at all. They are relatively tame, and their vision and hearing are very slow, and their sense of smell is not very sensitive. Such an animal has no advantages in nature, okay Its staple food is bamboo, which does not compete much with other animals. When encountering an enemy, the nine-segmented wolf will make a strange behavior when it is frightened: it first arches its tail and back, then slowly raises its head and body, while giving low-intensity panting, then turns its head and He applauded, and finally stood with his hands above his head, as if he was surrendering to his opponent and begging for mercy. In fact, this is not the case. This is their demonstration. It's just that their appearance is cute and their actions are funny. They look too much like applauding and begging for mercy, raising their hands to surrender. Nine-section wolves are very attractive. When eating, they like to hold food with their hands, standing, sitting, and lying down to eat. Which posture they adopt depends on their mood at the time. They love cleanliness and will defecate in a fixed place every day. After eating, they will constantly rub their face with the palms of their forelimbs, and even lick their mouths clean with their tongues. This kind of action, I have only seen on the body of the little raccoon. Follow me and make an animal friend.
