关于小狗胡须的8个奇闻趣事

你知道吗,狗的胡须不仅仅是为了在给自己补充水分时把水扔出去? 是的,这些不同的毛发还有其他功能,许多毛茸茸的监护人甚至都不知道。 了解一些关于狗的胡须的好奇心。

1.犬类的胡须可作为触角

狗的胡须不仅比宠物的其他毛发更长更厚,而且还从一个毛囊中长出,这个毛囊受到许多感觉神经的支配,帮助狗更好地探索周围的环境。 基本上,当有东西接触到狗的胡须时,胡须会振动并刺激感觉神经,提供关于狗的环境的反馈。这些 "触角 "在一些场合帮助动物,如可能与另一物种交流、攻击、信息素散布、获取食物,甚至在游泳时保持头部。

你想更好地了解这些感官体验吗? 胡须是供狗探索世界的,就像婴儿用手和嘴来认识一些新的物体一样。

2. "小胡子 "一词是一个绰号

指代狗的胡须的正确技术术语是 "vibrissas",它来自拉丁语的Vibrio,意思是 "振动"。 酷吧?

狗有不止一种类型的胡须

当我们谈到小胡子时,我们会自动想到就在狗狗上唇上方的毛发。 然而,根据小胡子的位置不同,其名称也不同。

你可能会问自己:"你的意思是,胡子有多个地方?"是的,除了传统的胡子,狗在脸颊、眼睛上方和下巴上还有胡子。 上唇上方的胡子被称为 "mistacial胡子"。 几乎在脸颊末端的毛被称为genal胡子。 此外,狗还有supra ciliary或眶上和唇间的绒毛或振动器,分别位于眼睛上方和下巴上。

4.胡须有助于解决幼犬的盲点问题

令人难以置信的是,不仅汽车有盲点,现实中狗也有盲点。 你有没有想过,为什么狗看不到你放在它鼻子下面的点心? 答案有两种可能:或者你的狗没有看到,因为点心的颜色与地面的颜色非常接近,或者因为点心在动物的早期位置。 在这种情况下,就会出现这些特殊的毛发可以帮助狗计算从它的嘴到食物和水盘的距离,或者在嗅探时它的头离地面有多近,等等。

5.胡须具有保护功能

狗的眼睛上方的小胡子实际上是它们睫毛的延伸。 它们通过眨眼的反射来保护眼睛不受伤害。 如果环境中的任何东西碰到这些小胡子,狗就会自动眨眼。 你想举个例子吗? 你是否已经尝试过将洗眼液滴到你毛茸茸的眼睛里,而它正好在滴落的时间里闭上眼睛?这不一定是它的错!没错,很可能是你的手在滴眼药水的前几秒钟撞到了狗的睫状体上的胡须。 现在你知道了,你下次可以更小心了。

6.胡须不是感情的归宿

你可以自己证明这一事实,只需触摸狗狗的一根胡须。 它可能会偏离你的触摸,或者把脸从你的手上拉开。 这并不痛苦,但反复触摸很可能会有刺激性,因为运动的感觉神经反应。

7. 绝不应剪掉胡须

如果你对是否可以剪掉狗狗的胡须仍有疑问,我建议你再读一下上面的第1、4和5项。 如前所述,胡须对感官体验、眼睛保护和感知周围环境有很大帮助。 如果剪掉胡须,虽然不痛,因为毛发本身没有疼痛的感受器,但你的狗狗可能有点迷失方向,他们的空间意识可能在一段时间内减弱。

8.胡须重新生长

如果你偶然无意修剪宠物的胡须,但还是发生了,不要绝望!毛发会重新长出来的。 只要耐心等待,你的狗一开始可能会有短暂的迷茫。 以防万一,避免修剪宠物的胡须。
