Could 20 pitbulls survive for a week if placed in the African savannah?
Releasing 20 pitbulls into the African savannah and whether they can survive for a week is a complex question that depends on many factors. But in the past, this has happened and they only lasted 5 days.
In 1932 , the famous British "animal trainer" Drake took 50 pitbull dogs into the African grasslands, with the intention of letting them fight, adapt to the wild environment and evolve into a species. new dog.
But the result was a huge disappointment for him, the fearless pitbulls died within 5 days.
In the past, pitbull dogs were released in the African savanna, but they only died after 5 days.
The Pitbull originated in the 19th century and is also known as the "American Pit Bull Terrier". They are fierce dogs bred as fighting dogs. They are known as dogs with high determination and will never give up in a fight, so they are nicknamed the "King of Fighting Dogs".
Pitbulls may not be as easy to train or as intelligent as many other dog breeds, but they are very brave and "bloodthirsty". When fighting, they will quickly secrete a large amount of adrenaline and therefore they will not be able to feel pain (or to be more precise, their pain tolerance in fighting is many times greater than that of other dog breeds). ), so their endurance is extremely amazing and they can fight continuously for over 100 minutes.
However, pitbulls have a strong desire to attack . Sometimes even their owners will be attacked by them (especially inexperienced owners), so many major cities around the world have listed pitbulls on the list of dog breeds banned from keeping in the city.
Pitbull dogs have a strong desire to attack.
Pitbulls are dogs bred for fighting. Their fighting skills and strength are very outstanding, when they fight they are very fierce. It is not an exaggeration to say that a giant pitbull can kill a 100 kg sheepdog within 10 minutes.
Because the pitbull's bite force is extremely amazing, it can create 80 kg of force in just one bite, and it can tear human skin with just one bite. Generally, a bulldog will lose stamina after fighting for 5 minutes, but with pitbulls 5 minutes is just the beginning of a fight.
The body of Pitbull dogs is also very strong. The entire body is made up of muscle and has very little fat, so they are very fast and their attack force is also very strong. In addition, Pitbull dogs also have very strong defense ability, their bones are 3-5 times harder than other dog breeds.
The African climate also makes it difficult for pitbulls to adapt.
We all know Africa is a paradise for wild animals, but for pitbulls, Africa is "hell" , a place even scarier than a battlefield because there are so many species in Africa. large carnivore . For example, lions, hyenas, and leopards are all very powerful predators. Sometimes they even dare to attack rhinos and crocodiles to fill their stomachs.
Although pitbulls are also very good at fighting, their size is too small compared to these wild animals , the average body length of pitbulls is just over 60cm and their weight is all under 50kg. This size cannot be compared with mammals in Africa.
In addition to predators, Africa also has many large herbivores with violent personalities such as elephants, hippos and buffalo, especially African buffalo, which are very large in number. island and have a strong desire to attack, even hyenas weighing 50-70kg do not dare to provoke this herbivore.
The size of the Pitbull dog is too small compared to large wild animals in Africa.
Additionally, pitbulls have a very irritable nature and have a strong sense of territory . They will attack animals that approach them without permission. However, given their size and bite force, they are unlikely to cause fatal damage to animals that weigh hundreds of kilograms more than them.
It is conceivable that if a pitbull were released to live in Africa, it would become food for lions and hyenas, or would be beaten to death by large herbivores , and it would be difficult for it to survive. for more than a week.
In addition to ferocious beasts, there are many deadly creatures in Africa, such as the black mamba. They are the most poisonous and powerful snakes in the African grasslands, even lions do not dare to provoke them.
There is also a very scary ant species in Africa, called the African red fire ant. They are red all over and are only 3 cm in size. However, after being stung, the bites will feel painful and blister, which can cause secondary infection.
African plants are also dangerous, such as the African acacia tree . They have very sharp spines and the seeds contain a lot of poison. If a pitbull eats it by mistake, it will die immediately.
Furthermore, the African climate also makes it difficult for pitbulls to adapt. You must know that most areas in Africa are hot and dry all year round, with a distinct dry season that makes it very difficult for pitbulls, a dog breed bred and raised by humans, to adapt to the natural environment. wild.
If the above dangers cannot kill them, they will still slowly starve to death.
Whether or not pitbulls can find water in Africa is also a big concern. They don't have the local animals' method of finding water, and even if they're lucky enough to find water, there could be crocodiles waiting for them there.
The scariest thing is that the harsh environment in Africa also produces many deadly viruses . Once infected, they will only die slowly.
In addition, pitbulls have no sense of teamwork , they will not listen to the orders of a leader and in fact, they can fight and kill each other before being attacked by wild animals or their natural environment. Africa kills.
In addition, the pitbull's hunting ability is also very poor. Their speed cannot keep up with antelopes, and they can only keep up with elephants and rhinos. However, pitbulls are completely unable to hunt such animals, even when fighting in groups. Therefore, if the above dangers cannot kill them, they will still slowly starve to death .
