Foreword: Hello everyone, I am lonely, I have not written an article for a long time, for the recent heating up of the weather, it is inevitable to imagine the scene of ice and snow, it seems to give me a little cool, but in the end I can only rely on air conditioning to maintain the temperature of the room.
But in the snow and ice, I thought of an animal: the Canadian Inuit. And I once learned that the so-called canine ancestors actually came from the evolution of the wolf family, so in nature you may know that canines retain some wolf nature, but also transform into good companions for humans.
Historical source: As early as eight thousand years ago, when humans opened up new frontiers, they encountered the so-called ice and snow world, when dogs have been trained for guarding and hunting, and in the Arctic, the snow-covered wilderness still blocks humans, but wolves have certain characteristics that can be used by us, because of evolutionary reasons, wolf families can easily travel through the snow, so when they can control the polar survival skills of domestic dogs, humans may be able to go farther in the snow world. There are only twelve kinds of sled dogs in the world, so the Canadian Inuit is one of them.
Characteristics of inuits
In my understanding, the strongest dog group can pull a ton of cargo, the fastest dog group can maintain a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, and in snow-covered areas, people with tools and dogs can be said to be an effective and fast way to move, even in times of wind and snow than airplanes. The most endurance dogs can run thousands of kilometers in eight days, and the secret of success is all about unity and cooperation. For hundreds of years, people have mastered the method of driving sled dogs.
There are many species of Inuit dogs, which are generally distinguished by coat color, body shape and body size. However, the advantage of being an Inuit dog is that it is not people who decide the breed, but whether they can take on heavy responsibilities is the key, after all, to survive in the snow, so people need to rely on these animals. In order to survive, you naturally can't care about the appearance of dogs, but consider their performance!
Inuit breed
This dog belongs to an ancient dog breed and looks very similar to their wolf cousins, and there is almost no difference between wolves and dogs. For inuit sled dogs, a very important point is that they began to evolve with humans, their bond with humans can be traced back thousands of years, to know that this dog has helped humans to create a brilliant civilization, in the deserted ice and snow world to explore and study, sled dogs are important partners, relative to the wind and snow of nature, your plane cars are not good, with them, in order to help humans survive.
The living environment of the Inuit sled dog
Generally speaking, working and living in an environment of minus 40 degrees Celsius, most people can't imagine, but there are really many people living in snow and ice areas, so both people and dogs need strong adaptability, so Inuit sled dogs can adapt to this cold climate, which can be seen from their strong physique. It is important that their hair layer is very cold-proof. The upper layer has a long protective mane, and the lower layer is thick soft hair, which can store warm air to protect them from wind and rain.
Looking at the picture again, their ears are small, and their hair is equally thick, which can reduce the loss of heat and keep a little heat while keeping warm. Despite their ingenious physiology to help them withstand the cold, and because of the way they survive inherited by gray wolves, they have also formed a strong alliance, just as wolves are group animals, so these dogs also inherit excellent teamwork. Make each dog play its part.
Inuit sled dog's way of moving
A team in the snow is mainly pulling a cart, and the order of the dogs is exquisite, in a long line, you need to fix the head dog, so that the whole team can be closely united, and then to the fixed steering dog to line them behind, and the closest to the sled is the motorized dog, and the motorized dog is the strongest individual in the dog group.
Like wolves, they also have to be hierarchical, strong dogs contribute, while high-level old dogs dominate the whole group, and old dogs usually issue a roar to warn other dogs, so as a master, you still have to appease the bullied dogs and deal with the dog situation in time. And when the sled dog puts on the rope, it will understand that it is time to go. However, this way of moving the sled is not something that ordinary people can simply learn, just understand it.
History of the development of the sled dog
In general; the invention of the sled is earlier than the wheel, at the beginning it was the man who pulled the sled himself, and gradually discovered the potential of the dog sled, and began to use it for training to pull heavier goods, not only far, but also fast. It's a historical revolution in transportation. In modern times, people have used it for expeditions and activities in the Arctic and other regions.
Summary: In any case, dogs have always been a good partner for humans, and for everyone, they must also love dogs rationally! And the sled dog is also a special species, for what they are worth exploring can also leave a message Oh, like friends can pay attention to me, I will share some insights from time to time, thank you for your support!
