"It's a badger," Wang Tianxiao smiled, "To be precise, it should be a dog or badger."

"Badger."

Wang Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head in disgust.

You can't blame him. It's true that badgers are not valuable wild animals in this era.

There are two kinds of badgers in Ziwu Ridge.

Dog badger and pig badger.

There are far more dog badgers than pig badgers.

This is because badgers like to live in cold places in the north, while badgers prefer forests dominated by broadleaf forests, mountains, hills, etc.

Therefore, there are many dogs and badgers in the north, while there are many pigs and badgers in the south of the Yangtze River.

But this is not absolute.

Our country is vast, with many mountains and rivers running through the north and south of the country at the same time, so the animals are naturally not divided according to absolute geographical location.

Most of the pig badgers in Ziwu Mountains migrated from the Qinling Mountains, so the number is quite small.

After a few decades, the pig badger was no longer visible in Ziwu Ridge, and only the dog badger remained.

Why don't people near mountains like badgers?

It's because there's basically nothing good about this guy.

Both pig badgers and dog badgers are omnivores and belong to the Mustelidae family, which means they belong to the same family as various minks.

There are also quite a lot of martens in Ziwuling, such as yellow-throated marten, stone marten, moxa tiger, etc.

There are also weasels, squirrels, etc. that are popular in the Mustelidae family.

The names of these guys are actually the same family, but they just belong to different genera.

It's like they are all distant relatives.

The largest badger in the world is the wolverine, which can be more than one meter long and looks like a small bear, so it is also called the wolverine.

Mink bears are quite ferocious, similar in size to large dogs and can weigh tens of kilograms, but mink bears live in the coldest places. In our country, they are only found in the northeast and northern Xinjiang.

All badgers mainly feed on small burrowing animals, frogs, rodents and birds, as well as some crops and vegetables.

So the mountain people hate this guy.

Especially during the harvest every autumn, the badgers have to hibernate and start to hoard food for the winter. They can only steal it from the villagers' fields, such as sweet potatoes, peanuts, wheat, etc., as long as they are edible, they will

steal.

After stealing enough, they will burrow into cracks in rocks or dig deep holes to hibernate inside, and will not come out until February or March of next spring.

Of course, there are special circumstances when their food has been stolen by some local animals. They are really hungry and will wake up early to look for food. This is why we saw badgers tonight.

Badger meat is unpalatable, and because badgers have complicated eating habits and accumulate a lot of viruses in their bodies, generally people would not think of eating badger meat.

The only useful thing about it is the fur on the body. Basically, the fur of animals living in cold northern places is very warm.

But the problem is, if you are just looking for fur, you can definitely look for larger wild animals, such as wolves, but badgers are only a little bit bigger, and the price/performance ratio is too low.

For example, the fur of a hunting wolf can be used to make at least a coat or even a mattress, but such a small thing can also be used to make gloves. To make it into a coat, you need many of them.

If this is the case, then you can hunt the minks with better fur, and there is no need to waste time on badgers with less-than-high-quality fur.

In this era, what people are pursuing is large and practical, and badgers are really not the first choice for hunting.

Now that he saw it was a badger, Wang Tianxiao was not in a hurry.

These animals look fierce, but they are just showing off. The dog may not be able to take them at first, but it will not be hurt. As long as it is slowly grinding, it can always take them down.

Not worth wasting bullets.

Just enough to hone your dog's temperament.

But badgers also have very sharp teeth, and their bites are much more powerful than dogs.

When people catch badgers, they usually set up traps and nets. Very few people can catch this guy one-on-one with bare hands.

If you really get bitten, it will be much more troublesome than a dog bite. Who knows what viruses it may have.

There are generally two entrances to badger holes. As long as one of them is blocked with a net, and some cow dung or other smoke-generating objects are put on fire in the other hole, they will soon be unable to stand the smoke and plunge into the cloth.

's network.

Wang Tianxiao had caught badgers so many times in his previous life that he had become accustomed to them.

So he calmly watched the battle between Badger and Gouzi, but Wang Tiancheng had never seen it before, so he still watched the scene nervously, sweating for Gouzi from time to time.

I saw that one of the smaller badgers had been bitten by Dahei. Its small body rolled hard, trying to get away from Dahei's teeth, but Dahei was very experienced and his body adjusted accordingly, giving it no chance.

Slowly, I lost strength.

Dahei dragged the badger aside and watched the other two fights at the scene.

A Ying is responsible for the largest badger, which is relatively large among badgers. It is about sixty centimeters long by visual inspection. It is also the most ferocious. It does not give in to A Ying at all, and even takes the initiative to attack A Ying from time to time.

Biting Aying, forcing Aying to move around, temporarily avoiding the frontal attack.

"Good guy, the one biting with Aying is very fierce."

Wang Tiancheng also noticed it.

"That should be the female badger." Wang Tianxiao pointed to the cage next to him and said, "Look, the one in the cage should be the puppy badger, as well as the one bitten by Dahei. The ones Dafeng and Aying fought were dog badgers.

Parents. Normally, a badger’s father doesn’t care much about his children, but his mother loves them very much.”

Wang Tiancheng discovered that it was true that the badger's father fought sluggishly and lacked fighting spirit. He was not as fierce and desperate as the female badger.

He thought of the ocelot mother from before, nodded and said, "It's the same for animals and people. Motherhood is indeed one of the greatest emotions in the world."

"Well," Wang Tianxiao smiled, "Actually, all sincere emotions are great, including friendship, love and family ties. It's just that many true feelings have been let down."

Wang Tiancheng nodded.

"Woof!"

In the field, Aying finally got hold of her badger bitch and dragged her to the side of Dahei.

Only Gale is still fighting.

As the female badger also lost, the male badger now became aware of the crisis, and its biting movements became much more fierce than before.

Gale's combat power is not very high to begin with. This guy's biggest advantage is his speed, but in a real fight, his physical strength is really limited.

Catching a badger will tire it out so much that it will jump up and down and be unable to eat for a while, as if it is not a badger but a porcupine or a hedgehog.

After going back and forth, instead of being suppressed, the male badger became more and more aggressive. He actually stood up and kept biting Gale.

It seems that without human intervention, the strong wind will be in danger of being bitten at any time.

Badgers are really smelly, and if you mess with them, they can make you sick to death, as anyone who has ever caught them knows.
