In the past few days, many friends have sent this photo, want to ask what is the situation?
Don't doubt your eyes, yes, this is the head of one sika deer with another sika deer hanging from its head.
Why don't sika deer have "plum blossoms"? Although the snake boss does not know where the photo was taken, it can be concluded that this is a sika deer based on the shape of the antlers and other characteristics.
Only the fur of the sika deer in summer has "plum blossoms"
In winter, it will be changed to a plain gray
Autumn and winter are the estrus seasons of deer, and there will be a lot of fierce fights between the male deer on these hormones, and often these branches and forks of the antlers will be entangled and often inseparable. Not only deer, but also two bare horned antelopes are often stuck together.
The picture below shows a pair of springbok horns entangled together, and the jackal sits on the profit.
So don't be surprised, this is two stags fighting and entangled, and then one of them is dead and rotten or eaten by a carnivore, leaving a head on the head. This is not the first time, nor will it be the last.
Look, this is a white-tailed deer photographed by americans a few years ago.
Of course, there is also a possibility that the sperm-brained male deer will take a dead deer carcass as an opponent, pick up and hang the dead deer's head on its horns, but the chances of this kind of thing are very small.
Longqi Bird Park also has sika deer, but there are only three, and they are very timid, scattered in the dense forest of the garden, and generally tourists can't see it. In fact, the sika deer in heat is still a threat to tourists, and there are many records of injury.
In the Bird Park, more than 20 deer interact with tourists and friends.
Native to Europe and West Asia, the deer is a small, docile deer, so everyone can rest assured that they can play with the fawn! They love carrots and lettuce, you can buy them at the Bird Park or bring them from your own home?
There are deer to feed in front of your house, so why run to Nara?
The deer in Nara is a Japanese subspecies of the sika deer, and although it is slightly smaller than the sika deer in China, it still has the risk of attacking people and injuring people.
We are serious about doing popular science
