In fact, there are precedents for taming tigers in Africa. As early as 2003, according to the joint action plan of China, Britain and South Africa to save the South China Tiger, Li Quan, chairman of the International Save the South China Tiger Foundation, took Cathay Pacific, a young South China tiger, hoping to come to the South China Tiger Field Training Center in Tiger Valley Reserve, South Africa's free province to start field training. A year later, two other tigers in Shanghai Zoo? Tiger abital? And then what? Virgin Mary. With the same mission, I set foot on the land of Africa. South China Tiger is a subspecies of tiger endemic to China, which is considered extinct in the wild. At present, there are more than 200 South China tigers living in zoos and breeding centers in China. Therefore, for a long time, the wildness of the South China tiger has been exhausted by human intervention, so it is necessary to carry out field survival training for the South China tiger to awaken its wildness.
In 2002, James Li bought 17 farm in South Africa and named it Tiger Valley. Four South China tigers from afar quickly adapted to local life. Without human intervention and guidance, these South China tigers who returned to the wild quickly adapted to the wild life in South Africa and stimulated the wildness of tigers. There is plenty of food here, and there are four China South China tigers everywhere.
However, in the wild African savannah, tigers have to face not only these ubiquitous herbivores, but also African native carnivores such as lions and hyenas.
The field training of South China tigers in Africa is not interfered by African native predators such as lions and hyenas. But if tigers want to survive in Africa for a long time, they will inevitably intersect with African native carnivores such as lions, hyenas, leopards, cheetahs and wild dogs. The first element of their survival is how to survive with these native predators.
Among the six existing tiger subspecies, there are great differences among individuals. The smallest Sumatran tiger weighs only 120 kg, which is a disadvantage in the African savannah. Tigers are solitary animals, and they are obviously at a disadvantage in the African savannah. In Africa, besides leopards and cheetahs, a few carnivores are solitary animals, such as lions, hyenas and wild dogs. They are social animals. I still have it? Four fists with both hands? Yes, not to mention tigers.
In the African savannah, African lions and hyenas, and other tigers, such as leopards and cheetahs, are also solitary animals and pose no threat to tigers. However, as a foreign tiger, the first thing to do is how to survive and then face the competitors.
There are many herbivores in Africa, and tigers don't lack food. But in the process of hunting in the wild, tigers will greatly increase the possibility of meeting other predators.
Hyenas, even if the number of groups is dominant, can't threaten tigers. Most tigers in China are as long and as heavy as those in Africa. Siberian tiger is the largest cat in the world. Through the field research of scientists, hyenas generally dare not provoke lions and will not take the initiative to attack them. This individual disparity will cause certain pressure on hyenas, especially as an exotic species of tigers, hyenas must not attack rashly without knowing the strength of their opponents. There is plenty of food on the African savannah, and hyenas only attack more powerful opponents when their territory is threatened. Therefore, as long as there is no territorial conflict between tigers and hyenas, there will be no hyenas attacking tigers. When almost all tigers can climb trees and are threatened, they can protect themselves by climbing trees.
As a lion, there is little possibility of conflict with a tiger. Lions and tigers, two large carnivores, are called. King of beasts? They are equal in strength. Lions (some males choose to live alone) hunt more efficiently, while tigers are solitary animals. The different hunting habits of the two wild animals also mean that they are unlikely to meet in reality. Besides, lions prefer large herbivores, such as bison and zebras. Tigers prefer medium-sized herbivores, such as gazelle, impala and wildebeest. Their recipes are different, so there is no competition. Considering that leopards and cheetahs living alone are also living well on the African continent, as a tiger with the same strength as a lion, there is no extreme incident of being killed by a lion.
Tigers are not native to the African continent. Once the tiger is released to the African savannah, lions and hyenas will not pose much threat to the tiger, but will pose a certain threat to the ecological balance of the African savannah. In the field training of South Africa Tiger Valley South China Tiger, four South China tigers started to kill without human intervention, but they did not eat their prey, but enjoyed the process of killing in the wild. Once the tiger's wildness is aroused, it will be very terrible and may cause some damage to the existing ecological balance in Africa.
