Want to know if snakes are afraid of centipedes? Are snakes really afraid of centipedes?

Centipedes can be regarded as the natural enemies of snakes, and the reasons why powerful poisonous snakes can't resist centipedes are as follows:

First, poisonous snakes can only release toxins through their fangs, and the tentacles of centipedes can release toxins Although centipedes are relatively small in size, they seem to be at a disadvantage compared with snakes, but generally smaller animals will be more flexible, so when centipedes attack poisonous snakes, poisonous snakes are often unavoidable, after all, small centipedes can quickly approach poisonous snakes, and dozens of pairs of tentacles of centipedes, as long as they can contact the body of snakes, they can be directly inserted into the body of snakes, and after inserting into the body, Centipedes can release large amounts of toxins to kill venomous snakes.

The poisonous snake's toxin is only located on the top of two teeth, and if the poisonous snake wants to poison the centipede with snake venom, it must bite the centipede in one bite. But when the poisonous snake bites the centipede, it is also dangerous, after all, the struggling centipede may also touch the poisonous snake with its tentacles, its tentacles are very sharp, as long as the centipede's tentacles are inserted, it will be poisoned, so the poisonous snake and the centipede are often both defeated, and they are poisoned by each other.

Second, the vitality of the centipede is tenacious, in fact, the poisonous snake has also tried to swallow the centipede directly, hoping to completely digest the centipede through the digestive juices of the stomach and intestines, but the poisonous snake that swallows the centipede will eventually be poisoned and die, and it is likely to end up with a rotten belly. Therefore, when the centipede is swallowed by the poisonous snake, the centipede will continue to wriggle in the stomach of the poisonous snake, and it will use its sharp claws to pierce the intestinal tract of the poisonous snake, and at the same time it will continue to release poison. The poisonous snake will eventually be poisoned and die.

Third, the centipede attack is stronger In fact, the poisonous snake will be more sensitive when attacking animals larger than its size, but now the size of the centipede is much smaller than the poisonous snake, so it is not advantageous to confront the centipede head-on, and the centipede also knows the weakness of the poisonous snake, and every time it directly attacks the eyes of the poisonous snake, it immediately injects the toxin into the nerve of the poisonous snake, so that the poisonous snake has no combat effectiveness in an instant.

Vipers and centipedes should be considered fierce enemies, but they are not natural enemies.

If the two meet, they will kill each other. It is also recorded in the book that the snake swallowed the centipede into its stomach, and the centipede bit the snake's internal organs, but the snake's stomach acid was extremely corrosive and eventually died.

Because centipedes are very aggressive, poisonous snakes can't resist the poison of centipedes. But centipedes are not natural enemies of snakes.

If a poisonous snake and a centipede fight together, the poisonous snake may be poisoned by the centipede, but the snake's natural enemy is not a centipede, and the two will almost lose when they fight together.

Centipedes are the natural enemies of venomous snakes, which is not explained.

Whether it's snakes or centipedes, even most people have an inner fear of these "long" and venomous (some snakes are not venomous) animals. In the countryside, some people say that centipedes and snakes can sometimes be seen fighting, and snakes seem to be afraid of centipedes.

Renqu Dajun recorded snakes and centipedes in his book "Cantonese Xinyu": "Baizu, "Erya" as "maggots", can subdue snakes, every mouth into the snake's belly, mountain tube maggots, snakes can not approach. From this sentence, it can be seen that centipedes are indeed a great enemy of snakes, but to say that it is a natural enemy, it is not correct, and there is no scientific basis.

However, in life, it is true that the centipede and the snake fight, and even the beginning of most battles is initiated by the centipede, and the two sides also have their own winners and losers, it is possible that the snake was bitten by the centipede and poisoned to death, or it is possible that the centipede was swallowed by the snake into the stomach and turned into food.
