Because I don't understand, I have an inexplicable sense of distrust and even panic, especially when we face snake, because snakes are already very popular abroad and even in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but In my country, it is basically just starting out, and people generally have misunderstandings about the influence of snakes. What are the misunderstandings?

One. Snake bites

A snake attack occurs only in two situations: one is predation - that is, if you are not that small, or the snake is not that big, you are safe. Of course, when faced with a 10-meter net pattern in the wild, the faster the better; the second is defense - as the saying goes, greed is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant. What happened may be that the elephant stepped on the tail of the snake and refused to let go of itself. feet.

Second, the snake eats bloody food

This is probably influenced by some irresponsible horror movie: a big snake chews a living person. In fact, snakes do not have the ability to chew and can only swallow them whole. Moreover, for relatively large food, it is often strangulated first and then swallowed. Therefore, snakes eat very cleanly, and before they are digested, they are all corpses.

Three, snakes are not afraid of cold

The temperature regulation mechanism of reptiles is not sound compared to mammals, otherwise, dinosaurs would not be extinct . It may be suggested that snakes hibernate at low temperatures. According to data, the mortality rate of Ussuri pit vips in normal hibernation under natural conditions is about 50%. The story of the farmer and the snake is estimated to take place in autumn or spring.

Fourth, the snake will not starve to death if it does not eat

It is the shoelace that will not starve to death, and the snake will also eat. It's just that reptiles have a lower metabolic rate than mammals and are more resistant to starvation -- or, to be more precise, eat less frequently.

5. Snakes can still live after their heads are cut off

That's earthworms. To be precise, the earthworm has no head, it has not evolved to that stage. A snake without a head must die.

Six, the snake's skin is slimy

It's a frog. The snake's body is covered with scales and has no mucus. So, the surface of the snake is very dry.

Seven. Snakes are always cold

The reason why snakes feel cold is the same as the body temperature of the environment - the middle school teacher said that in cold weather Iron feels cooler than wood because...

Eighth, snakes are evil, and there are snake spirits

There are snake spirits - it is said to be an oral liquid , 99% water, 1% brown sugar. Superstitious comrades, please review the relevant parts of Marxist-Leninist philosophy and arm your mind with science. Books not to be read within three months include: Strange Tales from a Liaozhai, Three Words, Er Pai...

Nine, the triangular head is a poisonous snake, the beautiful pattern is a poisonous snake, and vice versa is non-venomous

According to this theory, the king cobra is non-venomous, and the Pabula milk snake is highly poisonous— - Needless to say the former, the latter is a very common pet snake, very beautiful.

10. Bitten to death by a poisonous snake

Look at the poison. The red snake is also poisonous, but no one has been killed by it yet. If you're lucky, you're sure to go down in history. Even if it is highly venomous, it depends on the state of the snake. Generally speaking, hungry snakes release more venom and less fed. Other factors include: the depth of the wound, personal constitution, the size of the snake, etc.

Eleven. If bitten by a poisonous snake, immediately suck out the blood and go to the hospital.

Exactly! Depends on what kind of snake it is, though. For snakes with low venom, it is good to deal with them by yourself; for some highly venomous snakes, it is useless to go: first, our hospital is basically not prepared to deal with the serum of snake venom; secondly, even if there is serum, there are different types It is not necessarily targeted; finally, even if there is a hospital that has all the serums on hand (such a hospital has not yet broken ground), you may not even know which kind of snake is biting you. In this case, you are allowed to deviate slightly from your atheistic beliefs - pray!
