The Amur leopard, also called the Amur leopard, which lives in the Changbai Mountain area, is a beast second only to the Siberian tiger.
The Northeastern leopard has a small head, long tail, short and strong limbs, yellow fur, and black rings all over its body.
The spots on the head are small and dense, and the spots on the back are dense and large. The spots are in a round or oval plum blossom pattern, which is quite similar to ancient copper coins, so it is also called a golden leopard.
Of course, in the local area, the Amur leopard is also known as the native leopard.
Amur leopards generally have a body length of about 1.2 meters, a tail length of 1 meter, and a weight of 160 to 200 kilograms. Males are larger than females.
In the spring and summer, the Amur leopard is covered in beautiful golden body hair, which is about three centimeters long.
In winter, it will grow thick, light gray hair nearly seven centimeters long, which can withstand the severe cold of winter.
The Amur leopard has a well-proportioned and slender body, and its vision, hearing, and sense of smell are all very developed.
The head is small and round, and the ears are short. The backs of the ears are generally black, and the tips of the ears are yellow with sparse black dots on them.
Their canines are sharp and their cracked teeth are also well developed.
It has a strong body and agile movements. Because of its smaller weight, its jumping ability is better than that of the Siberian tiger.
The leopard's explosive power is amazing and can drag a prey that is twice its own weight into a tree.
When Sheng Xiping arrived, the main reason why General Hei was not snatched away by the leopard was because of Erlang Shen's interference.
After all, carrying a big black dog weighing about 90 kilograms in its mouth will affect the leopard's combat effectiveness, especially when facing a hunting dog that is ready to attack, the leopard has to be careful.
So after it bit General Hei, it whimpered and demonstrated towards Erlang Shen, hoping to scare Erlang Shen away and then take away General Hei.
Erlang Shen and General Hei grew up together, and they have a good relationship.
Although dogs are naturally afraid of big cats, so is Erlang Shen.
But his good friend was injured by the big cat in front of him, and Erlangshen refused to run away no matter how scared he was.
After a long confrontation with the leopard, the leopard did not dare to take General Black away.
It was precisely because of Erlang Shen's delay that Sheng Xiping and the others arrived in time.
When Sheng Xiping saw this situation, why did he care about anything else? Saving the dog was the most important thing.
The hunting dog is the hunter's most loyal partner and a good partner. No matter how dangerous it is, the dog must be saved.
Without saying a word, Sheng Xiping pulled the trigger and shot the leopard.
The distance is a bit far and there are trees blocking it, so the shooting accuracy is not that high.
Moreover, General Black was still being held by the leopard. Sheng Xiping did not dare to hit the leopard on the head for fear of accidentally injuring General Black.
Therefore, the shot failed to hit the vital point and grazed the leopard's hindquarters, bringing with it a cluster of blood.
As soon as the gunshot rang out, the leopard's hindquarters were injured. This guy also knew that something was wrong, so he immediately let go of General Black, jumped up, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.
As soon as the leopard ran away, Erlang Shen immediately rushed to General Hei, howling and calling.
General Hei, who originally fell to the ground, struggled to stand up.
Everyone here also rushed over. Sheng Xiping threw the gun to Zhang Zhijun, went over and hugged General Hei, and quickly checked his injury.
General Black's neck was bitten by leopards with several holes, which were oozing blood, but there were no wounds elsewhere.
Sheng Xiping quickly took out the cigarette noodles and leg straps, poured cigarette noodles on General Hei's wound, and wrapped the leg straps around General Hei's neck several times.
General Hei was in good spirits, but when he met his master, the dog felt extremely aggrieved. He leaned on Sheng Xiping and started to chirp. It looked so pitiful.
"Xiping, what should we do now? Should we continue to pursue him?"
Several other people stood guard with guns in hand, and Wang Jianshe asked casually.
"No more chasing, let's go back."
The dog almost died in the belly of the leopard. At this time, General Black was injured. How could Sheng Xiping be willing to continue chasing the dog with him? He could go home happily.
As for those few jackals, they probably won't make any waves. In the future, if they encounter them, they will be beaten. If they don't encounter them, they will be knocked down. He doesn't care.
Everyone knows that Sheng Xiping loves dogs, and the pitiful look of General Black really makes people feel distressed.
So everyone said nothing and turned around to walk back.
However, at this time, Erlang Shen stopped. He turned his head and ran in another direction, calling out as he ran.
When Sheng Xiping saw it, he immediately whistled to call Erlang Shen back.
However, Erlangshen didn't care at all and ran straight to the front two or three hundred meters away, shouting towards the back of the grass.
Sheng Xiping took a look and realized what Erlangshen had discovered? So he let go of General Hei and quickly chased after Erlangshen.
Although General Hei was injured, it was not too serious.
It was nearly bitten to death by a leopard, its pride was hurt, and it lost face, so it caught Sheng Xiping acting coquettishly.
Seeing Sheng Xiping leaving now, General Hei also got up, shook his hair, and trotted after Sheng Xiping.
Sheng Xiping chased Erlang Shen to a bush and saw a dead jackal behind the bush.
The jackal's right hind leg was broken, and it looked like it should be the one Sheng Xiping injured earlier.
Ordinarily, if a jackal's leg is broken, he will be lame at most, but will not die.
However, upon inspection, it was found that the jackal's neck was broken, and it must have been strangled by some animal.
Combined with the situation of the leopard just now, Sheng Xiping immediately understood.
The leopard probably has some grudge against those jackals.
After the jackals were repulsed by Sheng Xiping and others this morning, the jackal king was supposed to take the remaining jackals and hide in the deep mountains and old forests.
After recuperating, he either finds another helper to make a comeback, or disappears to recharge his batteries and look for opportunities to retaliate again in the future.
But I don’t know what happened, but I met the leopard on the road.
Although the jackals were severely frustrated, they still refused to let go of the leopard, and a conflict broke out between them.
Just at this time, Erlang Shen and Black General arrived. It was annoying enough for the leopard to be entangled by the jackals, so two more dogs came to the rescue.
The leopard really didn't want to be entangled anymore, so he jumped up the tree and took the opportunity to leave.
Just as Erlang Shen and General Hei arrived, they smelled the scent left by the leopard.
Generally speaking, leopards defeat hounds. When hounds smell the scent of leopards, they will hide as far as they can.
Erlang Shen and Black General were considered very fierce and courageous hunting dogs, and there was a jackal they wanted to chase in front of them, so the two dogs did not retreat, but they did not dare to bark.
The leopard actually didn't go far, but was hiding somewhere and staring at Sheng Xiping, the others, and the pack of jackals.
Most of the jackals were killed, leaving only two female jackals and one jackal with a broken leg.
The leopard also held a grudge, so it followed the injured jackal, chased it here, and bit it to death.
It must have been that the leopard was trying to eat the jackal, but Erlang Shen and General Hei chased it away.
Leopards usually use sneak attack tactics. They don't know where they are hiding. When the dog passes by, they suddenly jump out, knock down the black general, and bite him on the neck.
If it hadn't been for Erlang Shen, General Hei would have been killed by the leopard and eaten. If he didn't finish it, he would have hung it on a tree and kept it as a food reserve.
"Er Lang Shen, you're doing well." Sheng Xiping raised his hand, touched Er Lang Shen's head, and praised him.
