Animals have special equipment to increase their hunting success

Baboons

Baboons, as primates in Africa, reproduce and hunt on the savannah every day. Each troop usually consists of 120 baboons, and they are equipped with a device that is different from other animals but very similar to humans: their fingers, which help them to grasp objects effectively and to hunt as carefully as humans do in the field. In addition, the baboon's nimble fingers are able to accurately catch ticks and parasites, which are only a few millimeters long and require not only nimble fingers but also a keen sense of touch to catch.

Besides the thumb, baboons have four types of neuroreceptors on their palms, the annular lamellae, which sense pressure and vibration, the tactile lamellae, which sense low-frequency vibrations, the Ruffini's lamellae, which are responsible for stretching, and the Merkel tactile discs, which are responsible for light touch and can sense shapes. And it's one of their socialization tools, helping other baboons catch flatworms and parasites, thus strengthening their bond.

Serval

Serval is also one of the hunters living in the African continent, the body weight is only 16 kilograms, such data does not seem to be a threat, but according to the relevant data shows that serval body "special equipment" can make their hunting success rate increased to 62%, more formidable than large cats. The serval's special equipment is its special equipment. Serval's special equipment is its ears, according to the proportion of body size, it has the largest ears in the feline, each ear has 32 muscles, and each ear can turn 180 degrees, and can even hear the ultrasonic frequency, even if the prey to hide in the ground, but also can not hide from the serval's ears, and can even hear the sound of the 15-meter away.

When the serval ears capture the sound signal, will start their own lurking program, when close to the prey, will be aimed at the prey's neck to launch an attack, to do a hit, after that will continue to hide themselves, like a killer. In addition to the ears, Serval also has the longest legs in proportion among felines, and can reach a height of 2 meters after jumping up.

Dugongs

An herbivore called a dugong lives along Australia's coastline like a small submarine. In the water, dugongs have poor hearing and vision, but they have their own unique equipment, namely the tentacles on their mouths, which, together with the short hairs on their bodies, give dugongs a keen sense of touch and help them to obtain complex information about their surroundings.

In order to collect detailed information about their surroundings, dugongs have nearly 1,500 tactile hairs on the left and right sides of the body, which are 2 to 9 millimeters in length, and are able to transmit detailed information to the brain. The dugong can not only clearly feel the location of seagrasses through its sense of touch, but even the amount of seagrasses. When it reaches the area of seagrasses, it will use its six bristle areas to graze, and when it feeds, the dugong will uproot the seagrasses on the seabed.

Sperm whales

Living in waters far from coastlines are the largest mammals on Earth, sperm whales, with the largest brains of any animal, and they live everywhere except the North and South Polar seas. Sperm whales have top-notch communication gear, capable of emitting 230 decibels, louder than the engines of jet airplanes, through which they are able to help them communicate and work as a team.

Sperm whales' amazing vocal abilities and hearing are largely due to the cetacean wax on their heads, which is primarily a mixture of fat and wax that amplifies the sound they receive and provides them with localization. Sperm whales' voices sound like "clicks", which are emitted through the lips of the whale, and travel 1800 times faster than the normal speed of propagation in seawater. In addition, sperm whales, like human beings, each have their own unique voices, which help them to distinguish between their companions.

Octopus

Australia's Great Barrier Reef is home to more than 3,000 species of mollusks, and one of the most bizarre is the octopus. The octopus has eight tentacles, three hearts and not a single bone in its body. The octopus also has a 360-degree panoramic vision. Although the octopus has a wide perspective, but is an authentic color blind, only through the body surface of the sense of touch and taste to supplement the visual defects.

The octopus itself also has a professional level of camouflage ability, can easily and the sea reef, coral and other things into one, using their own tentacles on the suction cups firmly fixed body, when the prey is close to the prey, they will launch an attack on the prey, complete the hunt. And the octopus has 240 million receivers on its 8 tentacles, which are able to receive tactile and chemical information, which is used to feel the surrounding environment, and even the octopus's sense of taste comes from its tentacles, through which it senses flavors. When prey burrows into a crevice, the octopus can sense its presence through its tentacles.

Chameleon

The chameleon is one of the most familiar inhabitants of the tropical jungle. In addition to changing its color to hide according to the color of the environment, the chameleon has another special prop, its eyes. The Chameleon's eyes provide it with a 360-degree panoramic view, allowing them to gain insight into their surroundings at all times. Chameleon's two eyes can be rotated individually, and can even observe objects up to one thousand meters away, in the crisis-ridden tropical jungle, such surveillance is simply not too safe, able to insight in advance before the arrival of the enemy, in time to hide or escape, and in the discovery of prey, you can be the first to attack.

To protect their special gear, chameleons have evolved thick eyelids that can be used to protect their unique eyes. Based on the results of an autopsy of the chameleon's eyes, it can be found that the chameleon's eyes also have a telephoto field of view, and the chameleon is also one of the animals with the highest number of visual nerve cells. When prey is spotted, the two independently rotating eyes are aligned with the target, and after measuring the distance they eject their tongues at speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour, hitting the prey with precision.

Spiders

In addition to chameleons, there is another extremely common animal in the tropical jungle, and that is the spider, which spits out silk that is arguably the most exotic piece of equipment among animals. Different spiders are able to from no different spider silk, according to statistics spider silk types can be divided into 8 kinds. Spider silk is not only a tool that spiders use to fight, but also a rope that they use to escape, and it can also be used to communicate with their partners, and even a protective layer to raise their offspring.

All spiders can spit silk, but that doesn't mean all spiders can weave webs. Spiders that live on webs don't tend to have good eyesight, but they can gather intelligence by using sensors on their legs to pick up the vibration frequencies of the webs, allowing them to tell if they're coming with a friend or prey.

Wolverines

Wolverines may look like small bears, but they are no less ferocious than bears, and can easily overpower a full-grown stag when they are only knee-high to a human. When winter comes, most animals go into hibernation, but for wolverines, it's their happiest season.

The wolverine's nasal cavity has a honeycomb-like structure with a surface area 30 times that of a human nose, and its keen sense of smell enables it to capture scent molecules in the air, easily detect odors up to 3,000 meters away, and even smell prey up to six meters below the snow before digging through the hibernating animal's burrow and turning them into food in their sleep.

In addition to a well-developed sense of smell, the wolverine's intelligence is no less impressive. In a snow- and ice-covered environment, the wolverine will eat leftover meat and bury it in the snow, using the snow as a natural refrigerator. When an avalanche comes, many animals will be buried in the snow, wolverines use their developed sense of smell will be one step ahead of other hunters, in the snow pile found animal carcasses full of food.
