The male is slightly more sturdy than the female, with smooth and slender overall lines, showing an elegant posture.

Although its limbs are short, they contain amazing strength, as if ready to burst out with amazing speed and agility at any time. The front claws are slender and sharp, like sharp daggers, revealing a wild beauty.

Behind it, a long and fluffy tail sways gently, like a flowing landscape.

The tail curls up and covers the back like a soft blanket, adding a bit of warmth and security to it. Whenever it walks or runs, the tail swings gently with the movement, like a vivid picture scroll, which makes people intoxicated.

The color scheme of the tiger weasel's hair is definitely the strangest among the mustelids. Its chest is dark brown, and its back is mottled, with a variety of colors including yellow, brown, red, and black. At first glance, it looks like it is wearing a tiger skin coat.

With this coat, the little guy has a bit more majesty. Its head is round, its nose is short, and its face is white with a brown strip, just like a mask. This unique facial feature makes the tiger meerkat look more mysterious and charming.

What’s even more peculiar is that it has two round, furry ears on its head, much like a giant panda’s ears.

These ears not only make the tiger meerkat more cute, but also give it better hearing ability. When it travels through the dense jungle, these sensitive ears can help it capture the surrounding sounds and detect potential dangers in time.

In addition to its unique appearance, tiger meerkats also have some amazing abilities.

They are excellent climbers, able to leap and scramble between trees with ease.

Their claws are sharp and powerful, allowing them to easily grasp tree trunks and branches, helping them to move quickly in the trees.

Tiger meerkats are also excellent hunters.

They feed on insects, small mammals and birds, and with their keen sense of smell and quick agility, they are able to quickly capture their prey.

In addition, tiger meerkats have a strong sense of territory. They use urine or scent markings to mark their territory and protect their homes from intruders.

Overall, the tiger meerkat is a unique-looking and charming animal.

Their coat coloration and facial features make them stand out among mustelids, while their ability to climb and hunt shows their intelligence as wild animals. Whether in the jungle or in the zoo, tiger meerkats are an eye-catching presence.

Although the small tiger weasel does not seem to have any killing power, it is still a small beast. In addition to its claws as weapons, it also has sharp teeth.

The canine teeth in the upper jaw are long and sharp, and the main tip of the lower carnassial teeth has a small tip on the inner edge, which can tear the skin and flesh of the prey when biting up and down.

The little guy is aloof and unruly, and he doesn't go to grasslands with abundant grass or wetlands. In fact, there are wild tiger meerkats living and breeding in some places in China.

It's just that the quantity is too small and it's hard to find.

The claws on its front limbs are good at digging, so this tiger weasel likes to find a place to dig a hole and live in it.

The work efficiency was very fast, or perhaps this project took a long time. The cave was connected in all directions, with many branching passages and a "granary" for storing food.

If the prey you catch cannot be eaten immediately, save it.

Most of the time, they stay in desert areas where there are relatively scarce creatures, so the diet of tiger weasels is relatively simple. They mainly prey on desert jerboas, yellow rats, gerbils and other rodents, and secondly they like to eat lizards.

Many carnivores eat rodents, but the hunting method of the tiger weasel is particularly unique. It digs holes to hunt various rodents, leaving them nowhere to escape. Its rodent-killing ability is one of the best in the animal kingdom.

The tiger weasel followed the mouse trail and went into an underground cave. It would dig out from time to time and catch any gerbils it saw. It would bite one to death in a short time. Even if some mice hid in the crevices, they would be dug out until the whole nest of gerbils was wiped out. Someone once calculated that an adult tiger weasel could wipe out more than a dozen nests of gerbils in one night, which was considered the "first mouse catcher". It effectively curbed the unlimited reproduction of mice and prevented the rat infestation.

Not only will it kill an entire nest of gerbils, but it will also invade their burrows.

Outside the cave, a lizard was crawling leisurely.

Maybe it doesn't know that there is a master hunter hiding in the cave next to it.

The meerkat, who was working, did not notice the movement outside. It first smelled the air and determined the location of the lizard by its sense of smell, and then it discovered that there was food outside.

It determines the location of the lizard by its sense of smell and then quietly approaches it. Because there are toe pads and palm pads on the soles of its feet, it moves silently. When it gets close to the lizard, it suddenly attacks, bites the lizard's head and kills it.

After catching the lizard, the mongoose stood up on its two legs, grabbed the lizard with its front paws, and slowly swallowed it bite by bite, just like eating spicy strips.

The tiger meerkat has poor eyesight, but a strong sense of smell, and can smell the faintest scent in the wind even when it is upwind.

Normally, tigrinas act alone. If you see several of them moving together, they are usually female tigrinas with their cubs.

After the beginning of spring every year, it is the mating period for tiger meerschas. They give birth to cubs around May. One litter can produce 5-4 cubs, which are raised solely by the mother.

In summer, tigris are often active outside. Sometimes you can see mother tigris migrating with her cubs to hunt or move to other places.

The tiger meerkats were lined up in a straight line, one after another, with their backs bent and moving quickly forward, all of them looking cute and adorable.

The tiger stripes on their bodies are obvious, and their formation is winding, which easily reminds people of dragons, so the locals call them flowery dragons.

After 60-70 days of birth, the mother will disperse the ferrets and let them hunt and survive on their own. After 100 days, they will be the size of adults.

Unlike other mustelids, tiger weasels choose to hibernate in caves in winter and sleep until spring.

Before hibernation, they eat as much as possible and store fat in their bodies.

So now that the weather is quite cold, it is quite rare to see this mongoose running around instead of staying at home.

But in the final analysis, there is only one reason, that is, it did not store fat in its body in advance, which caused it to be unable to continue hibernating, and it could only find food outside.

But the problem is that the weather is so cold now that it is basically difficult to find food.

So this guy is still quite desperate now. After all, if he has no food, he might die.

However, at this moment, its keen sense of smell suddenly detected a fragrance in the air.

The taste made it salivate and its mind almost went blank.

It smells so good~
Following the source of the scent, the tiger weasel on the mountain was looking at Su Ran's room. (End of this chapter)
