Chapter 63: Meeting a Tiger for the First Time
"Yezi, this is a tiger!" Bai said excitedly, pointing at the big tiger.
She had only seen it in newspapers and books, but she never expected to see a real tiger.
Zhang Ye was a little panicked at this time. Although the Gaoligong Nature Reserve said there were tigers, there had been no traces of tigers for many years. Many hikers could only see tiger bones, but the real traces of tigers were
Can't see it at all.
Many people suspect that all tigers in Gaoligong have become extinct. Even if they are not extinct, they must be extremely rare.
Who would have thought that just after taking two steps after landing, I turned around and encountered a head.
Zhang Ye felt that he should buy a lottery ticket when he went back.
What should you do if you encounter a tiger in the wild?
First, put the ID card in your mouth...ahem.
First of all, you need to know that cats have many common habits.
For example, under normal circumstances, a cat's curiosity is greater than its appetite, so you can't let it become curious about you. Therefore, you should avoid eye contact with the tiger, face it at the same time, and retreat as carefully and slowly as possible.
Never turn around and run away, because for cats and even most predators, exposing your back is an act of weakness and will arouse the desire to hunt.
Secondly, you must not let it feel that you are not a threat, let alone let it feel that you are delicious.
There must be something sharp or something that can be used for self-defense in your hand, even if it is an iron pan. Hold it in your hand so that it can see that you have a self-defense weapon, and then observe its movements while quietly watching.
If the tiger stands up and stares at you motionlessly, it means that you have entered its warning range. At this time, you must not move rashly. You only need to confront it quietly. You cannot lower your head, lean over, or run away. This will only increase the risk of death.
The tiger subdues your confidence.
As a being at the top of the food chain, a tiger is a creature with natural pride. As long as you give it a little confidence, it will dare to go up.
If it turns back or lies down, you can slowly back away. If it keeps staring at you, you can only be patient with it.
As for frontal toughness, it’s better not to joke about it.
The palm force of a tiger can reach one ton, which is a concept that many people don't know.
It's like a slap that can crush your head like a watermelon.
Even if it hits any part of the body, it can cause instant loss of mobility, or even be fatal!
And the size of the tiger is very scary. He stands taller than the average adult man, weighs more than three hundred kilograms, and is covered in tendons. You can imagine that you are confronting a muscular man weighing three to four hundred kilograms and two meters tall, and the tiger
The threat is neither high nor low.

Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary people to confront a beast of this level head-on. Many people on the Internet have never seen a real tiger and have no idea. Coupled with people's natural sense of superiority, there are many things that come to mind immediately.
Only when you really see such a behemoth can you feel the pressure that is almost like the top of Mount Tai.
If there is no cage, you will be brave if your legs are not weak!
At this time, the tiger was lying under the shade of a tree not far away. The orange and black stripes on its body looked very conspicuous, but when it was hidden in the jungle and shadows, it could achieve a superior sense of confusion. If it weren't for Zhang
Ye's eyesight has been strengthened, so he might not be able to detect it at the first time.
The distance was about twenty meters. According to Zhang Ye's visual inspection, the tiger's body length was between 2 and 3 meters, and the slap was probably bigger than his face.
Just lying down on the upper body and forelimbs, you can see those terrible muscle lines, and you can imagine the explosive power in them.
This is an adult tiger, and according to Zhang Ye's understanding of the distribution of tigers in the wild.
First exclude Siberian tigers and South China tigers.
The Siberian tiger, also called the Siberian tiger, is mainly distributed in the Northeast, Siberia and North Korea. It is a cold-loving animal and is unlikely to appear in the Gaoligong Nature Reserve in Yunnan.
The South China tiger species in the wild has been deemed extinct, so it is basically impossible.
So the most likely ones are the Bengal tiger and the Indochinese tiger.
Looking at the size, Zhang Ye felt that this should be a Bengal tiger, a tiger subspecies second only to the Siberian tiger and equally huge in size.
People's physical fitness is now stronger than before recovery, but at the same time, the physical fitness of animals will also be enhanced, so even if Zhang Ye has superhuman strength at this moment, he can't say that he can deal with this tiger.
But Bai should be able to do it, so Zhang Ye regained his composure after initially panicking.
He was even in the mood to observe this beautiful big cat.
Tigers are really very beautiful creatures, or basically all cats are like that.
At this moment, the tiger was also staring at Zhang Ye closely, and slowly stood up.
Seeing that huge body, Zhang Ye could feel the pressure from twenty meters away.
Is this the king of the mountains and forests? I really love him.
Just when Zhang Ye was about to take a photo with his personal terminal, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Originally, the tiger was lying down. Due to the angle, Zhang Ye couldn't see the tiger's lower body because the view was blocked. But when it stood up, he could see the tiger's lower body, dripping with blood!
A large piece of meat was missing from its thigh, and the skin and flesh were turned out, and the pale thigh bone could be clearly seen!
Perhaps because of the severe pain, its hind legs could not even touch the ground and could only hang half in the air. Its body was shaking slightly when it stood up.
The wind blew by, and Zhang Ye smelled a fishy smell.
Zhang Ye frowned.
Was this big guy injured in a fight with other beasts?
What could injure this behemoth like this?
Moreover, this place is on the outskirts of a nature reserve and is heavily populated. Generally, tigers will definitely not come to this kind of place.
So at this moment, Zhang Ye wondered if this big guy was fighting for territory with other tigers and was injured in the fight?
That's not right, why is it that the hind legs are injured, but there are almost no wounds on the front of the tiger?
You must know that tigers like to be slapped most when fighting, so there should be no wounds on the front.
Looking at the wound again, the wound goes backwards, as if sharp claws hooked the flesh and then tore it backwards.
What animal could inflict such a wound?
Bear?
That's not right, the bear's claws are long, but relatively blunt. The bear's palm strikes rely more on strength rather than sharp claws, so it is impossible to cause a tear as big as a washbasin.
Moreover, there are only black bears in Gaoligong. There is no way a black bear can rival a tiger of this size, let alone provoke a tiger.
Is that another tiger?
Although the claws are sharp, the damage should be done to the front, not the butt.
Unless when this tiger turns around to run away, another tiger catches up and gives it a claw on the butt.
But as mentioned before, tigers are very arrogant creatures. They will basically not run away without a fight. If they want to escape, they will be unable to fight and then run away. Moreover, they will not expose their backs to the enemy. But judging from the wounds, this tiger has no
Occurs in head-on conflict.
So there are only two possibilities.
Either, the wound was not caused by an animal, but was scratched by a human trap or by the sharp edge of a stone when coming down from the cliff.
Either... there is a creature that is so terrifying that it can make a tiger turn around and run away. That creature just slapped the tiger, seriously injured it, and drove the tiger out of the depths of the forest!
So what else could it be that could make a tiger turn around and run away, and have such sharp claws?
The ragged tooth beast!
Almost instantly, the corners of Zhang Ye's mouth began to tremble, and gradually, they curved.
The heartbeat is accelerating and the blood flow is accelerating.
His fists were clenched involuntarily, and his joints crackled.
He seemed... excited.
