Feeding on all kinds of snakes, even when facing their own kind, even when facing their partners, they will be very ferociously eaten as food. It is the most famous snake on the mainland--- the king cobra.
However, even such a ferocious king cobra also has a very gentle side. After mating, the female king cobra chooses a suitable place. Then use the tail to gather the surrounding weeds and fallen leaves to make a warm nest, thus creating a good environment for the hatching of the little king cobra.
And after spawning, in order to maintain the temperature in the nest, the female king cobra will keep the nest at every step. This is about two months.
During this time, they did not eat or drink until a few days before the birth of the little king cobra, because they were afraid that they would be extremely hungry at this time, and they would instinctively hurt their children, and they would leave fiercely.
Do not eat or drink, and guard the offspring for two months, just to give the offspring a warm and safe environment. This is probably only the greatest mother in the world, which is really very touching.
Having said that the gentle side of the king cobra, let's talk about the dangerous side of the king cobra. The king cobra is a snake mainly distributed in the southern part of the mainland, commonly found in Yunnan, Guangxi and other regions.
They are huge, some even more than the average python, reaching an astonishing 6 meters or so, and are the "world's largest venomous snake" certified by the Guinness Book of World Records.
The venom of the king cobra is a mixture of venom, which is mainly a neurotoxin. The LD50 of its venom is: 0.34 mg/kg. Although this is far weaker than the silver ring snake, the fatality rate is no less, reaching about 65%, ranking first among all poisonous snakes on the mainland.
(Note: The LD50 value of the silver ring snake is: 0.09mg/kg, the lower the LD50 value, the more toxic. ）
This is because the amount of venom they excrete is enormous. Once it is bitten, it will be injected with 200 to 500 mg of venom, and its venom is only about 12 mg.
As a huge snake, the king cobra is not like other ordinary small venomous snakes, and will immediately flee when it sees humans, never actively attacking humans.
They have no fear of humans, and once humans dare to take the initiative to provoke, they will even chase people and bite. In Guangxi, there was once a 70-year-old man who was chased and bitten by a king cobra with a stone.
Fortunately, the king cobra bit off, leaving only a tooth mark on the old man's leg. Because the amount of venom injected was limited, the old man luckily picked up a life.
In the midst of ferocity, there is tenderness; Never take the initiative to cause trouble, but also not afraid of things, there is a vendetta on the spot to repay. Do you like such an "eye king"?
