People are always unable to resist cute things, so that cats have won the hearts of a large number of people on earth just because of their "cuteness"!
Little do you know that the more beautiful things are, the more lethal and dangerous things are! The kitten we are going to introduce today is not to be cute and has a petite figure. In fact, it is just an emotional killer! Its name is Blackfoot Cat.
Why is it called "Blackfoot Cat"? It can be explained literally because its four meat pads are all black and covered with long black cats. This is to protect the black-footed cat from being burned when walking in the desert. This is also an important sign that distinguishes the black-footed cat from other small cats.
Blackfoot cats are mainly distributed in southern Africa and often appear in bushes, grasslands and desert areas. They are one of the smallest cat animals in Africa. The average weight of black-footed cats is 1.6 kg, the average weight of female cats is only 1.3 kg, and the male cat is slightly heavier, no more than 2.2 kg at most.
Background by the petite body, the black-footed cat has a slightly larger head, which adds a bit of cuteness and cuteness.
Some people may question, isn't this a small tabby cat? Is it that scary? I can catch it with one hand.
Don't underestimate the black-footed cat, it is much scarier than you think! Although it has a small figure, it is extremely explosive and dares to attack goats four times larger than itself. Although there is no case of black-footed cat attacking humans, if humans really anger it, it will definitely dare to fight against humans to death. I guess the final winner is highly likely to be the black-footed cat.
You should know that the success rate of black-footed cat hunting is as high as 60%! The success rate of the lion is only 25%, no wonder the BBC has made the black-footed cat "the deadliest cat in the world"!
Black-footed cats like to go alone and have a strong sense of territory. They will mark their territory with urine like cats such as tigers and lions, and prevent other toms from entering.
If there are really a few black-footed cats acting together, it is likely that the mother cat is carrying a few underage kittens.
Black-footed cats usually only come out to hunt at night, with dark brown or black stripes all over their body, which allows the black-footed cat to have its own stealth skills at night, and its small figure also makes it more agile.
Aim at the target and attack! The prey it targets can basically not escape. Black-footed cats are also natural "big eaters". They can eat food equivalent to 1/5 of their body weight in one meal. They mainly prey on insects, reptiles, mice, birds, etc.
The black-footed cat is really cute, with its own contrasting cute attributes. I really want to keep one as a pet!
The number of black-footed cats around the world is extremely small. As early as 2011, it was listed as the "vulnerable breed" by the World Union for Conservation of Nature. The local government has also been committed to protecting black-footed cats.
For the black-footed cat, nature is its best home, and only there can it run freely! If everyone really likes Black Foot Cat, I will silently wish these little guys healthy and happy growth behind their backs!
