How crazy are Japanese macaques when they "court"? In 2017, researchers at the Japan Ape Center discovered in the wild that a male Japanese macaque had crossed tails with a female sika deer, and the husband and wife both "betrayed" ......
In 2017, a researcher at the Japan Ape Center accidentally captured a male Japanese macaque jumping on the back of a female sika deer while tracking and photographing macaques in the wild, staging a cross-species "love" in just a few minutes!
Macaques have long been controversial animals, especially in Japan. They often have a bad reputation for burglary, attacks on babies and the elderly. But this time, they behaved in a different way, beyond everyone's imagination. It really makes Japanese anime culture move from virtual to real!
However, as this researcher took a deeper look, he found that in fact, such a thing has long been a common phenomenon in the Japanese macaque world!
In the dictionary of monkeys, competition is the only manifestation of being a Venerable. For those of higher status male macaques, there is no shortage of macaques of the opposite sex; But for those of lower status male macaques, in order to attract the attention of females, they have to find new ways to show their strength.
And the Japanese macaque with a lower status in the picture aimed his opposite sex at the sika deer. Although it is very surprising to outsiders, it is undoubtedly a demonstration of their status and mating strategy, what do you think about this?
