There is an ancient theory of the five poisons, they are snakes, centipedes, scorpions, toads and geckos, which have been widely spread for generations, no matter which of the five poisons they see, people have avoided them.
Wudu
According to the folk ranking, among the five poisons, the centipede is quite poisonous, followed by the poisonous snake.
However, it is such a super poison, the rooster can calmly cope with it, playing with it between the palms, so what is the position of the rooster in front of the centipede?
How toxic are centipedes?
Centipedes are also known as centipedes, because of their delicate and multi-legged appearance, many people feel tingling in their scalp just by seeing it.
There are about 8,000 species of centipedes in the world, most of which are poisonous, and although the folk call it centipedes, not all centipedes have a hundred feet.
A millipede that makes your scalp tingle
Some centipedes are small, with only more than 20 feet, some centipedes are slender up to 40 centimeters, and the number of feet is staggering to more than 300.
Depending on the species, the number of centipedes' feet varies, and the centipede is just a term that describes the large number of feet.
The most common poisonous centipede on the mainland is the red-headed centipede, which can poison a mouse in just half a minute.
After human beings are injected with venom by the red-headed centipede, there will be local redness, swelling and pain, etc., and the toxicity is relatively mild, but it depends on the situation.
Centipedes are very toxic
In certain cases, this venom can also cause human death.
For most centipedes, the larger they are, the more toxic they are.
The world's largest centipede, the Galapagos giant centipede, has the most violent toxicity among centipedes.
The Galapagos giant centipede is 44 to 46 centimeters long, equivalent to a quarter of an adult's arm length.
The Galapagos giant centipede is black throughout, and the bitten person will have symptoms such as headache, fever, dizziness and nausea, and if it is not sent to the hospital in time, it will be life-threatening.

This infiltrating poison does not appear in people's eyes from time to time, and people do not want to see this creature come out and move.
But the chicken is not only not afraid of the centipede's "things", it also has to find "things".
Look for centipede troublesome chickens
Most centipedes carry toxicity that may be less lethal to humans, but fatal to chickens.
Why would the chicken take the risk of teasing the centipede in this situation, and why should the chicken be so brave?
In fact, the truth is: the centipede's venom has no way to enter the chicken's body.
Chickens who dare to find things
The composition of centipede venom is mostly a peptide toxin, which is transmitted to the prey through the spikes evolved by the first pair of feet, but this way of delivering venom does not work for chickens.
First of all, the chicken has thick hairs, which wrap the skin of the chicken so tightly that the centipede spikes cannot reach the skin through these hairs, let alone deliver venom.
Secondly, the chicken's feet have a layer of tough cortex, which is transparent.
Even thin needles are hard to penetrate, let alone the small spikes that centipedes have evolved.
Centipedes have a hard time hurting chickens
Finally, after playing with the centipede, the chicken eats it, and the toxins on the centipede will be decomposed and digested in the chicken's stomach, and will not cause harm to the chicken.
Unless there is a wound on the stomach wall of the chicken, the venom is the nutrient solution of the chicken.
On weekdays, chickens also like to look for these centipedes in the corner to eat, and they often tease after finding these delicacies, and when the centipede is tortured and dies, it will slowly enjoy the meal.
Discover prey chickens
The centipede found by the chicken has no possibility of escape, its speed is not as fast as the chicken, the proud toxin has no effect in front of the chicken, and after struggling for a while, it can only "drink and hate the northwest".
And this happens not only in pheasants, but also in many domestic chickens pecking at centipedes.
Pheasants and domestic chickens are almost the same in body structure, and it is difficult for centipede roosters to make it "break through".
Therefore, in the countryside, there are often such pictures.
A chicken with a long centipede in its mouth runs in front, the chickens follow behind, and the chicken farmers watch the centipede in the chicken mouth next to them.
Is the chicken's position just on the hunt for centipedes?
How high is the chicken's rank?
In addition to centipedes, chickens will often rummaging through some small bugs in the wild to eat, they generally eat any bugs, whether poisonous or non-toxic, a strong digestive system is the basis for them to eat insects casually.
In the hot summer, they even peck at the mosquitoes clinging to their bodies, which are the protein feast of chickens.
Chickens sometimes catch mice!
Chickens also catch mice
There is a video on the Internet where a rat is running away in a panic in a farm yard, and the two chickens on the side immediately take action after seeing this moving "gadget".
Surrounded by two chickens, rats were slaughtered in the street.
The whole process is very fast, and the chicken and mouse fight is only two moves.
These two moves are in the process of the rat's escape, the chicken scratched with its claws, a total of two scratches, the rat fell to the ground, the blood gushed out.
Rats can't beat chickens at all
These two chickens are still domesticated chickens after human domestication, and if they were changed to pheasants, the rat would probably not be able to go out for a round.
In the human impression, the chicken is a gentle, and non-lethal animal, why is it like a "monster" in a mouse?
In fact, the chicken itself has a good fighting power, due to the domestication of humans, it is relatively mild in the courtyard, coupled with such a high-level species as humans, even the biggest ability has to be plated.
Chickens are not good objects
Domestically raised roosters weigh about 5 pounds, they have sharp claws and sharp mouths, similar to the claws and mouths of eagles, although the lethality is discounted, but for species of the same size, the lethality is huge.
Adult roosters can take away a piece of meat from a human body when they are powerful! This kind of force is naturally inedible to rats.
Due to the reasons of being raised for many years, domestic chickens do not have to compete with other animals for food, and usually fight with similar small fights, and their claws will gradually degenerate.
Ferocious rooster
The pheasant retains the characteristics of its ancestors, has sharper claws, and is not only able to catch mice, but sometimes compete with eagles.
Chickens also catch "spicy strips"
Not only can chickens catch mice, they will also hunt small snakes and peck them alive with their sharp teeth.
As mentioned earlier, chickens peck at most insects, including earthworms, which forage as small snakes as earthworms.
Of course, they don't really eat, sometimes they mistake it for a predator, and sometimes they do it out of complete playfulness.
Chickens looking for bugs
In any case, in the eyes of chickens, small snakes are toyed with like "spicy strips", and they will not be afraid even when they encounter large snakes.
Snakes generally avoid chickens when they see them, and their sharp claws remind them of their natural enemies, eagles, and chickens and eagles have distant relatives, so they naturally hide far away.
Small snakes become hunting targets, large snakes go around, and chickens can naturally run rampant among snake groups.
Chickens have very sharp claws
Chickens are also not intimidated when they face the other five poisons, whether it is toads, scorpions or geckos, they have to walk around when they see chickens, and they may become the protein in the chicken's gastric juice one day.
How high the chicken rank is compared with the five poisons, if the five poisons are the golden rank, the chicken is a diamond!
In myths and legends, the chicken is changed by the Heavy Ming Bird, and the Heavy Ming Bird who paid tribute during the Yao Emperor period can ward off evil and eliminate disasters, and people in ancient times have pasted the portrait of the chicken on the doors and windows to pray for the peace and tranquility of the years.
Shigeaki Bird
In the long years of human society, the chicken has always played an important role, it not only provides people with meat to eat, but also provides nutrients such as eggs, and sometimes helps to deal with pests, becoming a symbol of good luck.
Humans are also sincerely grateful for the contributions that chickens have made over the years.
