Monsters in fauna

Monsters in fauna

Monsters are not only in animated films and fairy tales, there is a lot of them in real life. It is worth looking narrowly attentively. Though it is better not to do it as reaction of such beings can be unpredictable.

The fairy tale – a lie and in it a hint

They say that devils are found in still water. Of course, nobody checked this saying for the truth, however in life most often quite so and is. The person is surrounded by surprising and diverse fauna! Here and "the dog is buried": some of representatives of fauna, usually externally quiet, are real "monsters".

With a rhinoceros of a joke are bad!

Certainly, it is possible to carry rhinoceroses to such "meek creatures". By the nature all of them are singles. They almost never look for a common ground with the relatives. Moreover, these one-hoofed animals in most cases do not feed any rage for fellows. It is curious that own territorial site is not protected by any rhinoceros, and in general treats third-party visits of other individuals with full tranquility!

The horn at a rhinoceros consists not of a bone tissue, and of the shchetinoobrazny hair which are stuck together with each other. For this reason it is so highly appreciated in east medicine.

Absolutely differently the situation is at a rhinoceros meeting with the person. In it a case the animal becomes aggressive. The famous Scottish hunter John Hunter, describing behavior of a rhinoceros at a meeting with the person, said that the rhinoceros is "the short-sighted old colonel" who accidentally finds the stranger in the garden. According to Hunter, the first impulse of an animal in this situation is the instinct simply to banish the newcomer, however soon the rhinoceros understands that the person can be dangerous to it. Here also the self-preservation instinct works! The animal begins to fluctuate and be nervous then it turns into attack. A grief to the one who followed at it ways!

Modern "dinosaurs"

According to excavation of archeologists, more than 100 million years ago on the planet Earth huge reptiles dominated. Since then a lot of things changed. Dinosaurs died out, however there were their closest descendants – birds and reptiles. Birds in most cases do not constitute danger of death to the person, and crocodiles – yes. Crocodiles and alligators – some of most terrible "monsters" both on the land, and in water. Large individuals have at all no rivals as even the biggest overland animals – elephants are afraid of them! Besides, some crocodiles are too bright and in hunting show some sharpness.

The well-known crocodile leather is the most real armor. The reptile from legs to the head is covered with thick horn guards. Besides, in the thickness of skin, bone plates are hidden.

Fortunately, not all today's crocodiles constitute danger to large overland animals and the person. For example, caymans eat only crabs and mollusks. And, nevertheless, it is possible to call vast majority of crocodiles modern "dinosaurs" safely.
