The yellow eel is not a snake, so why does the yellow eel like to entangle other opponents as well?

Because they belong to convergent evolution, their images are relatively similar, and their hunting techniques are also very similar, and the success rate of hunting can be improved through this method.

Because of their slender size, eels react instinctively and entangle their opponents.

Because eels have no limbs, they can only use their bodies to wrap around to defeat their opponents, so they have evolved this ability.

Because the yellow eel's teeth are not lethal, but his winding power is relatively strong, he will entangle the opponent and use the winding power to the opponent's opponent.

Because the yellow eel is also an invertebrate, it hunts in the same way as snakes, preferring to entangle other opponents.

It is because the body of the yellow eel is similar to that of the snake, both are slender and slender, so some of the living habits are the same.

Yellow eels belong taxonomically to the class Ichthyidae, the radial-fin subclass, the order Zygobranchidae, the Zygobranchidae, and the subfamily Ichthyidae. Snakes belong to the order Reptiles. The body is elongated, the limbs are vestigial, and the surface of the body is covered with scales.

Difference Between Snake and Eel:

1. The eel is a fish, and its fins have been degraded. Snakes have scales, crawl close to the ground, reproduce with eggs, and breathe with lungs.

2. Yellow eels like to burrow in humus silt or burrow in stone crevices with water on the embankment during the day.

Yellow eels are fish. It is a tropical and warm temperate fish, living at the bottom of the water body, mainly inhabiting paddy fields, lakes, ponds, rivers and ditches and other muddy waters, like to burrow dwelling, rarely active during the day, and foraging at night.

It is a ferocious carnivorous fish that can prey on a variety of small animals, such as insects and their larvae, as well as frogs, tadpoles, and small fish.

The yellow eel has no scales on the outside, and ** smooth as shown in the figure below.

Snakes have rough scales on the outside.

Yellow eel color: The yellow eel specially bred is pale yellow, the wild yellow eel is slightly black, and the snake has many colors, in addition to a single color, there are many other variegated colors, as shown in the figure below, the snake is a general term for reptiles with degenerated limbs, belonging to the reptilian snake order. Like all reptiles, snakes are covered in scales.

Yellow eel, also known as eel, is a fish of the genus Yellow Eel in the family Gillfish.

Snake habits: The spawning period of snakes is generally from late April to early to mid-June, depending on the species. The eggs laid are generally cemented into a large egg mass, and the number of eggs in the egg mass varies from 8 to 15.

Snakes are often in a state of hunger or semi-starvation. It generally hunts in a "wait-and-see" manner, but sometimes it also takes the initiative.

Habits of yellow eels: During the day, yellow eels like to burrow in humus silt or burrow in stone crevices with water on the embankment. It is rarely active during the day and comes out of the burrow to forage for food at night.

Nocturnal, the oral skinfold can be respirated, so it can breathe air directly. In winter and dry season, burrows are dug 1-2 meters deep into the ground, and several fish live together. The gills are underdeveloped, but with the help of the epidermis of the inner wall of the oral cavity and laryngeal cavity as an auxiliary organ for breathing, it can breathe air directly; It can survive when the oxygen content in the water is very poor.

After coming out of the water, as long as it is kept ** wet, it will not die within a few days.

Yellow eels and snakes are similar in size, yellow eels belong to fish, and snakes belong to reptiles. Yellow eel belongs to the order of Gillfish, the family of Gillfish, and the genus Eel. The body is slender and serpentine-shaped, the body is rounded anteriorly and flattened laterally, and the tail tip is thin.

The head is long and rounded. The mouth is large, terminal, the upper jaw is slightly protruding, and the lip is quite developed. There are fine teeth in the upper and lower jaws and on the oral cavity.

The eyes are small and covered by a thin skin. The left and right gill holes are united on the ventral surface and are in the shape of a "V". The gill membrane is connected to the gill isthmus.

There is generally a lubricating liquid on the body surface, which is convenient for escape and has no scales. absence of pectoral and pelvic fins; The dorsal and anal fins are vestigial and only have skinfolds, without soft spines, and are united with the caudal fin. When it lives, the body is mostly yellowish-brown, yellowish or orange-yellow, with dark gray spots, and a few eels are white, commonly known as eels"White eel" 。

Snakes belong to the order of reptilian snakes, slender, vestigial limbs, and the surface of the body is covered with scales, although the snake is elongated, it is a vertebrate. Mostly terrestrial, but also semi-arboreal, semi-aquatic, and aquatic.

The simple difference is to look at its head, length, eyes, the head of the yellow eel is not as flat as that of a snake, the length is not as long as that of a snake, ** is lubricated and shiny than that of a snake, and the eyes are smaller than that of a snake. Snakes have many patterns on their bodies, but eels do not.

It can be distinguished as follows:

1. Snakes have scales, but eels do not.

Second, snakes have forked tongues, but eels do not.

3. Snakes have nests, but eels do not.

4. Snakes generally live on land, and eels live in water.

Fifth, sea snakes have bright colors, yellow eels do not.

The big difference is that the yellow eel is aquatic, and the snake is not.

Also, yellow eels have no scales.

There are many, many of them, you can see them at a glance.

Snakes have scales, and yellow eels have no scales.

The easiest way to do this is to grab it with your hands.
