The weasel is a mustel, a curious but cunning mammal.
The Ferret family is a group of creatures that are very difficult to mess with.
Typically, there is a flat-headed honey badger who dares to pick a four with a lion, and is known as the world's most fearless animal.
Otter is also one of the members, its unique is that it is very cute in appearance, will hold hands, blindfolded to sleep, but the dark side is also very bloody, with super bite force, dare to compete with crocodiles.
In the mustela family with many masters, the weasel is small and not prominent, but in myths and legends, there is always the name of the weasel "Huang Daxian", so in the folk, it has an inexplicable mysterious temperament.
Where did the legend of the weasel come from?
In folklore, there are many stories about weasels.
The stories are very bizarre, one more absurd than the other.
Especially in film and television works, there are often Wong Tai Sin "possessing" humans, losing his soul, the gods and gods nagging, seemingly controlled by something, and sometimes "speaking for" for the weasel, saying "This is not what I did, why do you want to kill them all" and so on.
In fact, the weasel is not so magical, and many stories are more and more exaggerated.
From a modern scientific point of view, these are all well-founded.
First of all, there are many opportunities for weasels and humans to come into contact, and it is easy to produce "stories".
Because weasels' favorite food is around humans. But it is not the chicken that "the weasel gives the chicken a New Year's greeting", but the rodent mouse, which can catch six or seven mice a night, and only when there is no rat hare such food, the weasel will prey on the poultry raised by humans.
Second, the weasel is a nocturnal animal, agile, and good at drilling holes.
At night, weasels like to drill in the grass, caves and caves, especially some cemeteries, the lights are dim, the human eye is not very clear, it is easy to mistake it for a "demon".
The weasel also gives the impression of being very fierce, chasing after the prey, first biting off the neck, sucking blood, and then eating the internal organs and body, which can be described as extremely bloody.
In addition, the weasel's anus secretes a special substance.
Once inhaled, this substance can be poisoned. The light ones are dizzy, uncomfortable and nauseous and want to vomit, and the heavy ones will be delirious and even unconscious.
People with weaker bodies are prone to hallucinations, which is the main reason why most people talk nonsense, and are mistaken for "gods preaching".
Does the weasel have a natural enemy? What is a nemesis?
First and foremost, human beings.
In the early years, the weasel skin was very valuable, and the older generation also had the experience of playing yellow skin.
The so-called "wolf milli" is made of the weasel's fur.
Now wild weasels are protected and are not allowed to kill at will, let alone eat.
But in the past, when people did not have enough to eat, weasels often sneaked up on poultry, almost everyone shouted and beat, thanks to those strange myths and legends, the weasels were saved.
In addition to people, weasels have many nemesis.
Eagles flying in the sky, foxes and coyotes on the ground, and of course cats and dogs.
Are domestic cats the opponents of weasels?
The point of contention in the showdown between felines and ferrets is whether cats are really the eternal winners.
Many people have seen cats chasing weasels everywhere, and soon they will walk around with weasels and show off their achievements to people.
In terms of size, cats have an absolute advantage, weasels are about 30cm, adult cats are larger than weasels, although weasels often hunt hares larger than themselves, but given the cat's martial skills, weasels have little chance of winning.
But such a battle is also between a cat with a wild nature and a weasel.
If it is a cat that is well-bred, does not worry about eating and drinking, and does not dare to catch a mouse, it must not be an opponent in the face of a cunning weasel who is good at farting.
Social my big goose, will it be the nemesis?
Others believe that the goose is the weasel's nemesis.
Growing up in the countryside, the big goose was definitely the darkest and biggest psychological shadow when he was a child.
Pass by it, look at it a few times, it will flap its wings and peck you when it does not go well;
Sitting at the door eating a meal, the goose will sneak up from behind, pecking at the food in the bowl, suddenly frightened, the whole bowl of rice will not be able to hold, fall on the ground, the child who eats can only wait to be scolded by the adult;
It is also common to see big geese running after the wangcai of the nursing home, and even the dogs are afraid of the big goose, and the combat effectiveness is absolutely explosive.
As a result, the big goose has the title of "social my big goose", because the sense of territory is relatively strong, the wealth is unemployed, and the gatekeeper goose has become a new generation of door gods.
However, I think the goose is dangerous and not the weasel's nemesis.
First of all, I think the goose seems to look at no one well, it is not only chasing the weasel to run, except for the owner, everyone has to peck;
Secondly, the weasel is not the food of the big goose, not to kill the weasel, on the contrary, the weasel bite force is amazing, and it is still possible to bite the goose to death.
At last
In general, the weasel's biggest nemesis is humans, and even with the title of "Wong Tai Sin" protector, it is still impossible to escape people's demand for fur.
In nature, there are still many weasels, which are the most direct manifestations of nature's "survival of the fittest".
As for whether the cat wins or the goose wins, it cannot be generalized.
It can only be said that the small weasel is very strong, but in the face of the large goose and cat with the advantage of size, the chances of winning are not great. Conversely, if cats and geese want to kill the weasel, it is also difficult, a "fart", the weasel can escape.
