Find the most cruel animal in the world

According to research by Dr. Jose Maria Gomez from the University of Granada, Spain, the new Meerkat mink are champions of the cruelty level in the animal world.

Meerkat weasels are scientifically known as Suricata suricatta or so-called zebra sharks , weasel weasels and ferrets in Africa . Meerkat is a small mammal, body, a member of the Mangut family and the only species of Suricata genus.

Meerkat mink live mainly in the Kalahari , Botswana and South Africa deserts . Besides, some of the world's largest zoos and reserves have also nurtured this species.

Meerkat is a species that kills the most common species in the animal world.

They have a body weight of 0.5 - 2.5kg. Body length from 35 - 50cm. In general, they are quite slender. The average long tail of up to 25cm makes Meerkat weasels stay balanced when standing on the back of 2 limbs. When standing Meerkat weasel can be easily observed around in hunting as well as warning of the same type.

This is a species that lives in a flock, each herd has from 20-30 individuals, and individual herds of up to 50 individuals. Meerkat mink have an average life expectancy of 12-14 years.

The long tail helps Meerkat weasel stand on the back of two limbs.

The main food of Meerkat is insects, but sometimes they also eat lizards, snakes, scorpions, spiders, eggs, small mammals, small, rolling and rarely caught birds rather than birds. small and mushrooms. Meerkat is immune to some types of venom, including the strong venom of the scorpion in the Kalahari desert. In the absence of food, Meerkat weasels will hunt snakes and scorpions for food.

Meerkat ferrets divide their work quite clearly when looking for food. One will be on guard duty, while the other will directly hunt. If the "guard" standing silently observes means that the area is safe, and when an enemy appears, they will scream loudly to signal. This task will last for 1 hour.

The Meerkat "guard" is concentrating on guarding his fellow men for food.

Desert life always contains many dangers. Therefore, Meerkat weasels have a very high awareness of being on guard. When they sleep, they lie on top of each other, one ear is always pricked up to listen to all the static movements around them.

The gestation period of Meerkat is about 11 weeks, the offspring after birth will be with the mother in the underground cave. Meerkat babies will be breastfed until about 60 days of age, then will stop. Baby weasels will open their eyes after 10 to 14 days of age.

Young birds are allowed to leave the cave at 3 weeks or older and then start learning how to feed from the larger ones in the flock.Weasel parents often kill non-born babies to ensure their children have the best chance of surviving. If the herd pair is flesh, they will not mate, the reproductive task in the herd will be mated by the females with the other male herds. Therefore, pregnant women tend to eat the offspring of other mothers in the herd.

This extremely venomous scorpion is also a favorite of Meerkat weasels.

In the herd order, healthy Meerkats sometimes kill young members of the group. The weaker Meerkats kill offspring of high-ranking members to improve their own position in the herd.

In Gomez's ranking, the top 50 also includes species such as squirrels, wild horses, antelopes, deer, chimpanzees, . These animals kill each other more than bears and tigers.

About the cruelty to the same type of ring-tailed lemur, it only yielded Meerkat weasels.

Right behind the Meerkat is the ring-tailed lemur (Lemur) . This is an endemic animal of the island nation of Madagascar. Lemur often lives in riverside forests or in the southern scrublands of the island. In the wild they live for 16 to 19 years, and in captivity they can survive for 27 years. This species is listed as endangered in the Red Book of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

Primate species are equally cruel when ranked 3rd in the list.

Following Lemur on this list are primates like monkeys, orangutans or chimpanzees.

To get this result, Jose and his colleagues collected all information about the causes of the deaths of about 1,000 different species, focusing primarily on the issue of violence against the same species. Surprisingly, new weasels and civets are the most cruel, not other carnivorous or primate species.

In this list, chimpanzees (a type of primates) are also present, however, humans are not considered to be one of the most violent species because human society is quite different. Modern civilization has reduced "blood thirst" since hunting and gathering.
