Strange but particularly effective hunting tactics in the natural world

Being a predator, of course, there must be a hunting strategy. However, there will be more "outstanding" people.

Hunting skills also include many styles, from witty to so that you have to laugh to cruel hair and cruel, even more sinister.

first.

Ferrets often roll, dancing like crazy in front of the rabbit they are trying to hunt.

Mink (Mustela) is not a big animal. They are only about 15-35cm long, and weigh up to 1.5kg. But miserably, their favorite dish is rabbit, the animal is at least twice as heavy.

Rabbits are also particularly sensitive to danger and extremely agile. Therefore, it is not easy to turn them into meals. If you keep plugging in the head and chasing you, the ability of the weasel to succeed is very small.

Probably because it was well understood, the new weasel family gave birth to a special technique. It was rolling, dancing like crazy in front of the rabbit that they intended to hunt. Oddly, their hysterical dance is completely enchanted by rabbits, causing the prey to watch so intently that . losing the soul, not knowing the time of death.

2. The dolphin cooperates to muddy mud, forcing small fish to jump on the water surface and fall into their mouths

Bottled dolphin (Tursiops) is famous for being able to work together extremely well during hunting. In it, the most prominent is that they use their healthy tail to muddy the shallow water into a murky circle.

The mud wall was also thick enough to make the small fish caught by the inner fin unable to swim through. Because of that, they were forced to jump on the surface of the water, and then fell right into the gaping open mouths.

Originally, bottlenose dolphins were the EQ species (Encephalization Quotient - the highest ratio of brain size to body weight) in the world of brain-containing organisms, ie only after humans. So it is only normal for them to know how to cooperate and have a clear "trap" way.

3.: Take the mountain goat neck to the edge of the cliff and throw it down

In the feathered world, golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) are the most fierce predators. It also targets big animals, including goats.

An adult goat can weigh from 20kg or more, and the golden eagle weighs only 7kg. So even if there is an outstanding power, it is still too difficult for him to die a big animal at least folds up three times like that.

But killing large prey with birds that are as smart as golden eagles is not difficult. It just pulls a pitiful animal to the cliff, then throws it down for a free fall. The solid, lumpy ground beneath the rock will help him get the goat's life right away.

4.: Mimic the sound of a monkey monkey crying to trick the big monkey into running

They deliberately disguised as the cry of a small squirrel monkey to make the big one mistake and frantically run away.

Margay spotted cats (Leopardus wiedii) are native animals of Central and South America. They belong to a solitary life, feeding at night.

Considering that the hunting tactics of Margay mottled cats are more sinister than all: they deliberately pretend to be the mother's cry for small squirrel monkeys (Saguinus bicolor), to make the big one mistake and frantically run away to find .

Even though he sometimes gets to the ground, most of the Margay cat's life is on the tree. Thanks to the ankles that can rotate up to 180 degrees, they can climb comfortably.

5.: Throw sticky balls to catch moths like fishing

To make sure the moths of the males are coming, they also secrete a fake pheromone smell of moths.

Just seeing a Bolas spider (Mastophoreae) catch moths, you'll have to nod your head in acknowledging that the most clever marksmanship of the natural world is this insect.

Bolas Spider is a nocturnal species, has a relatively small body, only 2-15mm in diameter. They have a monstrous appearance, just like a . bird feces. But it was also thanks to that disgusting appearance, they were able to escape the hungry eyes of the spider hunters.

Every night, the Bolas spider strikes the thread hanging a sticky ball. In order to ensure that male moths will come, they also secrete fake substances that smell Pheromones (chemical signals between individuals of the same species) of moths.

In the meantime, the Bolas spider spun a little to the thread hanging from the ball. But as soon as the "guy" of the silly moth caught in sight, they immediately tossed the ball directly at him.

It is because of this amazing and interesting "throwing sentence" skill that people also call the Bolas spider a fishing spider.
