I read two rambling stories, the main idea of which is that a villager was retaliated by a gang after killing a bamboo leaf snake, and the other is the story of a villager who broke a snake egg and was chased by a snake when he went up the mountain to catch a stone chicken. Look at this style, especially like the pattern in the story meeting, but readers claim that it is a news report, and people have heard too many stories of animal revenge. Will the snake retaliate against the initiator?

Can snakes identify targets?

Whether the snake will retaliate against humans has a premise, that is, whether the snake can recognize who the target is, which is crucial, otherwise it will not be established at all! It is necessary for snakes to identify their prey in order to survive in Shan Ye, but their eyes are not very good. They are not only nearsighted, but also almost blind, because their visible vision is only light!

But it can really catch prey, because they have two ways to perceive the existence of prey. One is that snakes are very sensitive to vibrations, and they can sense vibrations on the ground or even in the air, so they can know whether there is a threat approaching!

Another kind, such as vipers, pythons and some vipers, all have infrared sensors. The deep groove between the eyes and nostrils and the buccal fossa behind the eyes (snakes belonging to rattlesnake subfamily) can sense the approach of threats in infrared band. Another point, whether it is vibration or infrared heat source mode, you can only distinguish threats from prey, but you can't identify the characteristics of threats, such as the difference in appearance between two people!

So from the perspective of identifying the target, it can't tell whether to threaten it or smash its eggs.

Can snakes communicate with each other?

According to the report of China Science News on May 7, 2020, most snakes live alone, and they live alone all the time except mating and hibernation! Science magazine reported that some banded snakes in North America and Central America prefer to live in groups and have "friends" who have been together for a long time!

However, except for the ringed snake, social snakes are rarely found, so snakes must be brought together first if they want to retaliate against human beings. The key is that snakes have * * * language to say hello? In fact, it does exist, just a pheromone released by snakes during mating. Zoologists M. Rockwell Parker and Robert T. Mei Sen of Oregon State University published a paper in the Journal of Experimental Biology published in February 20/kloc-0:

Estrogen plays an important role in the mating of snakes or the attraction of females to males. The researchers completely simulated the effect of mutual attraction by implanting estrogen capsules in male snakes.

But snakes only have the basic function of estrus. Snakes can't control estrus freely like humans, and they are summoned to mate, not to take revenge orders.

Will snakes take the initiative to attack humans?

Unless you break into the territory of the king cobra (the king cobra was bred in the territory), you may be hunted down and attacked by it, especially in the breeding season of the king cobra, which is more likely to provoke it!

Of course, there may also be boa constrictors or net pythons mistaken for prey. In their eyes, as long as they are in the right size, humans are no different from other prey. Eat a good meal! So the scene of chasing people in the python disaster really needs to be discussed!

Apart from these two situations, snakes rarely attack people on their own initiative, unless they scare people, for example, if you step on it or provoke a snake in the grass, it is regarded as a threat by the snake, and it only fights back in self-defense. In most cases, if you don't provoke it, it won't provoke you.

Either don't shoot the snake or kill it.

Although it seems cruel, it is true. For example, I occasionally read the news that the chopped snakehead was bitten by a chef while processing it. This is not a grudge against snakes, but a long life after being separated from the body by the head of a cold-blooded animal. All its reactions are instinctive, and it has the ability to deal with threats. Isn't it normal to run to it and bite you?

If the chef can smash it with a knife, I believe that no matter how powerful the snake is, it will completely lose its function of threatening human beings!

In fact, the article about snake revenge in Beijing Evening News is called "Future Trouble". This style is not a news release mode at all, but a contribution section for readers of the evening paper, such as prose or poetry or even fables, and even manuscripts with modern story style can be published. As for authenticity, as long as the result is positive, the process is not so important. Do you believe it or not?
