As an ancient creature, the snake has always had its figure in the ancient books and classics of the mainland, and the status of the snake in the folk is relatively high, so how big is the world's largest snake? Does the legendary Qinling Panshan Python really exist?
People one-sidedly process the things they see into an ideal look, so there is a Qinling Panshan python, and everyone is full of curiosity, so driven by curiosity, most people are willing to believe that there is really a Panshan python in the Qinling area, but whether there is really a Panshan python in the Qinling area needs to come up with scientific basis, first of all, the temperature in the Qinling area is actually not suitable for the survival of the python.
Although snakes are a relatively tenacious creature, but they are very sensitive to changes in temperature, and the temperature of Qinling mountain in winter will be lower than zero degrees, so if there is really a Panshan python living near Qinling, it is difficult to overwinter, and the Panshan python is huge, as long as it moves, it will make a huge noise, if there is really a Panshan python in the Qinling area, then people living near Qinling will definitely see its traces.
The panshan python in the Qinling area exists in the legend, so how big is the largest snake in real life? The information we have so far shows that the heaviest snake in the world is the forest hopper, and the largest snake in the world is the reticulated python.
According to the Guinness Book of Records, the world's longest reticulated python in the wild so far has a length of 6.95 meters, and the reticulated pythons raised in captivity will have better living conditions, so their body size will be much larger than that of reticulated pythons in the wild. In the United States, the largest reticulated python to date has emerged, with a body length of 7.67 meters.
As if people still think that a python is not long enough to reach 7 meters long, so they are still looking for a longer python, and later in a primeval forest on the island of Sumatra, people found a giant reticulated python, the reticulated python body reached 14.85 meters long, but this directly subverted people's cognition and imagination, so it also attracted many people to study and view. However, after checking, it was found that this reticulated python did not have 14.85 meters at all, but only about 7 meters.
According to the relevant data, we can also see that the world's largest snake found so far is still not more than 10 meters, the so-called world is not strange, is there no snake in nature that can exceed 10 meters? So far, humans have not found a relatively large snake, but after research, it has been found that there have really been snakes with a body length of more than 10 meters on the earth, which lived in ancient times, and the name of this snake is called Titan Python.
Titan pythons lived about 58 million years ago, and the overlord of the earth more than 68 million years ago was the dinosaurs, but after experiencing the impact of the asteroid on the earth, the dinosaurs suddenly became extinct, so the titan python became the king of the food chain on the earth after the extinction of the dinosaurs.
However, such a king did not adapt to the laws of survival in nature, but became extinct early. Based on the comparison of surviving fossils, it can be roughly concluded that the body length of the Titan Python is about 15 meters.
Many people will always mistakenly divide pythons and other snakes into a category, as if other snakes as long as they eat more, gain weight, and slowly become pythons, in fact, pythons and other snakes still have the most essential difference, their genes are not the same, so even if other snakes eat more and then fat, they will not reach the weight and length of pythons.
Summary: The length of the world's longest snake, the Titan Python, depends on its own genes, so the later Forest Hopper and the Reticulated Python could not reach the length of the Titan Python. The reason why titan pythons can disappear is speculated to be related to changes in temperature on Earth, Titan pythons like to live in warm areas, so when the temperature on Earth changes, it is also the main reason for the extinction of Titan Pythons, which is the king who stands at the top of the food chain.
Because people always like to understand something one-sidedly and narrowly, and take it as the truth, there are also some strange legends. At the same time, there will also be pictures of oversized snakes on some social media, and everyone should maintain a rational attitude towards this.
Over the years, affected by human behavior, the species on the earth are decreasing year by year, although the snake life force is relatively vigorous, but they are also affected by humans more seriously, so the current survival status of snakes is not very optimistic, so snakes are also the object of human protection.
