A giant ferret with only a palm, eats 3500 rats a year, do you dare to be a pet?
We are not strangers to this animal, "weasels give chickens a new year" is a saying we are familiar with. To be precise, the weasel's scientific name is the weasel, and it belongs to a subject of animals that we are not familiar with, which is a kind of animal that looks harmless on the outside, but is actually very ferocious on the inside, not only is it particularly good at camouflage, but it is also very dexterous in its movements, and it does not flinch at all about food that is many times larger than itself. The shrew also has a very special skill, which can change the color of its hair in different seasons. For example, in winter, the color of its hair is white, which can almost allow it to hide in the white grassland covered with snow, not only to avoid the predatory prey, but also to surprise when preying on prey. What are the characteristics of stoats that are similar to stoats?
Although the stoat has a white character in its name, it is not all white, and there are some black hairs at the end of the stoat's tail, while the stoat is white all over the body in winter. When it enters the spring of the revival of all things, the stoat will fade away the white clothes that are easy to camouflage in winter, and change into brown clothes, because the brown hair is very similar to the color of the earth and the exposed soil, and he can hide his position alone and save himself a lot of trouble.
As a particularly cute animal in the carnivorous, the ferret has a pair of round and rolling eyes, which is the so-called "human appearance", and we cannot be blinded by this cute animal. A single shrew can eat 3,000-4,000 rats a year, keeping rats that live in the same place as it avoid it. The range of activities of the shrew is also relatively extensive, so active that its metabolism is faster than that of animals of its size.
In addition, the body of the shrew is very small, and the matter of entering and leaving the rat's cave is a piece of cake for it, even if the shrew's stomach cannot eat all the rats in the cave and digest it, but it will not be soft-hearted, it will kill all the rats in the cave, and then transport it back to its home in case it is hungry. So is there any other food?
The answer, of course, is yes. The shrew will not be satisfied with smaller rats, it will also take the initiative to attack animals that are more than ten times larger than itself, and it is also more intelligent, knowing that it can use sneak attacks to hurt animals that are different from its own size. To use a more vivid analogy, the main food of the shrew is rats, some larger animals are added to the meal, not only that, the birds on the ground are its after-meal snacks.
