The big-tailed cobra in the Sun Moon Lake Mountain Area of Taiwan is now there

According to Taiwan's "Zhongshi Electronic News" on April 11, after the Qingming Festival, the weather is getting hotter. In the Wucheng Mountains near Sun Moon Lake in Taiwan, last week, large cobras appeared, more than 120 centimeters long, although not a giant, but it is already large enough and scary enough. Nearby elderly people remind the public that as the weather warms up, the long insects have begun to move stupidly, and they must have a sense of snake prevention in the outdoor wilderness.

Li Yuan, an old farmer, said that the first cobra in The Zhoushan of Riyuetan in 2019 was on March 27, when a farmer surnamed Huang rode a motorcycle through a forest road and found a black cobra with a fine white ring under the retaining wall, with a flat neck and a roar while moving. Almost every year in April and May, Yuchi Township will find oversized snakes.

Xie Donghan, a former executive supervisor of the Yuchi Township Farmers' Association, pointed out that the cobra is territorial, and as long as people approach it and feel threatened, it will emit a huge exhalation sound to remind people that it is there. Therefore, although the appearance looks more fierce, in fact, the chance of biting people is not large, mainly because they will warn first, as long as people do not deliberately provoke, they will not be fine.

However, the common red-tailed green bamboo silk and turtle shell flowers need to be guarded against, their eyes, noses have cheek sockets, is a kind of thermal sensor officer, detecting that the temperature is difficult to ensure that it will not stretch the neck and bite; April and May is the active period of long insects, the best way to walk in the field with crutches, "grass snake" is necessary to maintain their own safety.
