Whenever you think about these dense forests of Africa, you must have some such thoughts in your mind. In which lions are seen hunting wildebeest and wild buffalo. Wild dogs and hyenas are seen hunting deer. Leopards and crocodiles are seen hunting in ambush. But apart from these, have you ever seen these small dangerous predatory animals of Africa. In today’s post we have included some such animals who are doing some such feats which seem impossible.
Black Footed Cat
A small cat 52 cm long and weighing about 2 kg is found in South Africa, Namibia and Botswana in the south of Africa. Whose name is Black Footed Cat, this simple looking cat is a very dangerous predator. You will not believe it but it is the most dangerous predatory cat in the world. If you compare its hunting with any other cat in the world, then it is many times more than other cats. When this cat goes out on a hunt, it never comes back hungry. If it hunts rat 10 times. So out of that it gets success about 8 to 9 times.
On the other hand, if we talk about lions and tigers, then lions are successful only twice and tigers rarely once, black footed cat hunts more than 15 mice in a night. This cat often hunts at night.
Fennec fox
There is another animal among the nocturnal hunting animals that lives in these low deserts of North Africa and the world’s largest Sahara desert, its name is Fennec Fox, this animal of the fox species has mixed in its environment in this way. That even a small movement under the sand could not escape them. This species of fox has fully adapted to live in this environment. Their long long ears are their main weapon, their long ears are used to hear them and to control their body temperature Fennec Fox has come out on the hunt for a Jerboa today Jerboa is a rat species, their back legs are too much With the help of which it moves forward by jumping in the sand, with the help of these long legs, this rat can cover a distance of about 10 times the length of its body in one jump. This rat is still engaged in its daily routine like days, but what does it know, today a fox is behind it, after a while when this mouse comes to know about the fox, it tries its best to hide itself. But the fox is aware of its every movement and in the end it hunts it.
Meerkat
Apart from the Fennec fox, there is another animal that is made for living less desert, these small animals resembling mongoose are known as meerkat. It may be small in size, but their work is very big, seeing the poisonous scorpions, we humans get tight, they chew and eat those scorpions with great ease, scorpions are nothing but a juicy succulent for them Apart from this, other insects prey on insects, lizards, fruits, vegetables, eggs, small birds and sometimes even small snakes.
it rests throughout the night and with the first ray of sun in the morning one member of their flock comes out first. And checks that there is no danger outside And then they start collecting food, during this process, one of their members always keeps an eye around from some high area. As soon as they hear the sound of a bird or a bird is seen flying in the sky, they immediately enter their burrows. Even sometimes, when they see an airplane flying in the sky, they still enter their bills considering it as a threat.
Honey Badger
Meet this, this is the bravest animal in the world that is not afraid of anyone, crowded with lions and leopards, this animal is known as Honey Badger or Rattle. All the small animals in the forest are afraid of it, most of the time they hunt birds, eggs, small insects and snakes, every snake roaming in their area can become their food. But if he is in the area of this Honey Badger, then he is in the area of “Yamraj”.
The python is known as the stunned animal. The grip of the dragon is so strong that hardly anyone can escape it. But when it comes to an animal like the Honey Badger, then the python cannot do anything here. Honey badger also hunts heavy snakes like python. Apart from this, the poison of snakes does not even affect the Honey Badger. That is why sometimes they also hunt poisonous snakes. A hungry Honey Badger can even snatch some food for itself from the prey done by lions. They are not afraid of anyone.
Jackal
How can we forget the jackal in the matter of stealing food. Even when the Honey Badger was hunting the python, these jackals were still trying to snatch the Honey Badger’s prey. It is a matter of great regret that people in the world recognize the jackal as a food-stealing animal, but apart from them, the jackal is also a predatory animal and has seen the jackal hunting very mercilessly many times. It does not show mercy to its prey at all. Jackals mostly prey on birds. Here you just see how it is hunting this big heron. Jackal is a very clever predatory animal, it can wait for many hours to attack its prey, even it is so smart that they are focused on such animals. Those who are hunting, such as they chase a group of lions, and as soon as the lions hunt and when the lions leave after eating the prey, then these jackals have the right to the remaining meat. They keep looking for prey here and there throughout the day. And wherever they get a chance. It never misses any chance to steal the prey.
