Animal Kingdom's 'Schwarzenegger': Never Exercised, Muscles Like They've Been on Steroids
The reason why humans have become the dominant species on Earth is mainly due to our intelligence. There are many biological creatures in the world with physical fitness exceeding that of humans. There are even animals from the animal kingdom that are like 'Schwarzenegger' without any exercise, and today, let the editor introduce them to you.
This 'Schwarzenegger' from the animal kingdom is called Belgian Blue Cattle. As you can see from the picture, they are all here. Belgian Blue Cattle were produced by the cross between Belgian cattle and French cattle. When people first discovered this kind of cattle, they found that the cattle's muscles were abnormally developed, so they intentionally cultivated this kind of cattle. After several rounds of cultivation, they became like this now.
Belgian Blue Cattle have a body fat content of about 25% compared to ordinary beef cattle, which means they can supply beef that is several hundred pounds more than ordinary beef cattle. Therefore, Belgian Blue Cattle have always been the best source of beef for Wagyu beef. So the question is, why are Belgian Blue Cattle different from other cattle and have such outstanding muscles?
This is because Belgian Blue Cattle have a protein called 'inhibitin' which is missing. Without this protein, muscles would not grow uncontrollably. After intentional cultivation by humans, the Belgian Blue Cattle no longer have this protein, so muscles can grow indefinitely. Although the meat on Belgian Blue Cattle is chewy, because the muscles are too developed, sometimes the bones cannot support the weight, resulting in fractures.
Do readers think that European people's way of breeding Belgian Blue Cattle is correct?
