A pig two bears three tigers when people encounter wild boars, you have to run quickly, this is why?

Why do a host of jungle kings people would think that the wild boar's danger factor is so high?

We have to start with the respective habits of wild boars, bears, and tigers.

Tiger

As the saying goes, "one mountain does not allow two tigers". This is based on the habits of tigers, which generally live alone in the jungle, wandering around, and only choose to stay with female tigers during the mating period.

Tigers have a strong sense of territory and usually use urine markers, scratching tree trunks, and leaving their fur behind to define their sphere of influence.

Tigers are very afraid of heat due to their physiology, which leads to their diurnal habits, especially in summer, when they are reluctant to act in the hot sun, which also makes them very good swimmers.

Tigers usually hunt large animals such as wild boar and bison, but occasionally hunt small animals and eat some grass.

Bears

Bears are very similar to tigers in many ways. Both species like to be active at night and are solitary, living with female bears only during the mating season.

Bears are forest-dwelling animals, usually living in dense forests above 3000 meters, and only in winter may move to areas below 3000 meters.

Bears are omnivores, they usually eat grass, tree buds, and fruits, but they also hunt small animals or catch fish to improve their taste.

Another special habit of bears is that most of them hibernate in winter.

Wild boar

Finally, let's talk about wild boars. They are usually herding animals, and their numbers may reach 10 or more at times, usually with the old sow as the leader, and they will also circle their sphere of influence.

They like to live in wet areas with water and trees on the river banks. Although wild boars also have the habit of staying out during the day and night, they are not as hardy as bears, so they will also come out in groups to feed in the middle of the day in winter.

Like bears, wild boars are also omnivores. They generally like to eat young branches and leaves, carrion, worms, etc. When there is not enough food, they will go into the crop fields and turn over the land for food.

After understanding the basic habits of wild boars, bears, and tigers, let's look at the next, the pig two bears, and three tigers, how did this statement come about? The wild boar is how to sit firmly on the first throne?

This statement is summarized by us, why are these three animals? Naturally because in ancient times, we have more contact with these three types of animals.

Tigers generally live in deep forests, while bears live in jungles thousands of meters high, both types of animals have a strong sense of territory, only when people intrude into their territory, only after the intruder will attack.

Humans only enter the mountains under special circumstances and, for a short time, so this greatly reduces the chances of meeting between humans and tigers and bears.

Secondly, bears enter hibernation in winter, and the chances of meeting humans are relatively reduced. Although bears tend to be irritable during the mating period and will attack other animals or even their mind, they do not attack humans as often as wild boars because their rutting period is limited in time and the chances of humans meeting them are small.

Wild boars usually live in the woods of the riverbank area, and human activities usually overlap, which leads to, inevitably, human conflicts with wild boars for territory.

Unlike bears and tigers, wild boars are solitary animals but live in groups, and their teeth bite as well as bears and tigers.

In this way, after a chance encounters with wild boars, people will be in a very dangerous situation, the main thing is that wild boars like to steal crops in the crop fields, such as potatoes, corn, etc., and is in groups, young and old peers.

If they encounter people who come to drive them away, the old sows are eager to protect their young and will attack them recklessly.

Bears and tigers live deep in the jungle, and if they have food to eat, they are reluctant to intrude into human areas, reducing the number of contacts with humans.

Therefore, in the phrase "a pig, two bears and three tigers", the wild boar is ranked first.
