Brazil Snake Island has 1 snake per square meter, and the poisonous snake on the island is 5 times more poisonous than its close relatives on land, becoming a forbidden place for humans.
On the island of Grand Kaimada, a poisonous snake lurks every square meter.
Moreover, the snakes on these islands are five times more poisonous than their close relatives on land, and people are basically declared dead after being bitten.
The island is also known as Snake Island and is also the alcatraz island of the human exclusion zone.
Snake Island is located in southern Brazil, about 35 nautical miles from land.
On the island, there are more than 4,000 golden spear-headed snakes densely distributed, and this snake is so venomous that even a drop that enters a person's body will fully understand his life within a few hours.
In Jin Yong's novel "The Book of the Dragon Slaughtering in the Heavens", it was recorded that the snake island where the golden flower mother-in-law lived, and there has always been a legend about this snake island in Brazil.
Legend has it that during the Great Voyage, there was a group of pirates in the waters around Brazil, just like the Pirates of the Caribbean in the movie.
Every day, he lived a life of wandering and robbing his family.
As Brazil's maritime trade became more frequent, the government's protection of ships became tighter.
So the unemployed pirates planned to "close" for the time being, so they buried most of their gold and weapons on the island.
To prevent the treasure from being excavated, they also purchased a large number of snakes to stock on the island.
Therefore, the once beautiful island has become the horror snake island today.
But after all, legends are legends, and naturally they cannot be taken seriously.
The real reason for the abundance of snakes on Snake Island is actually mainly the excellent geographical location.
In many mountainous areas, there are legends of snake fairies, such as the white lady's real body is a big snake.
But in fact, the possibility of large snakes in some mountainous areas is not high, because the most suitable environment for snakes to grow is first of all humid and warm, followed by adequate food.
As a cold-blooded animal, snakes have high requirements for heat, and the warm climate is more suitable for the growth of snakes, and Snake Island meets such conditions.
The dense rainforest in the tropical rainforest climate undoubtedly provides an excellent living environment for the snakes here.
And as a closed environment, there are hardly any species on the island that are natural enemies of snakes, but are full of food.
Birds, as one of the natural enemies of snakes, here on Snake Island, just the opposite.
Every year, seabirds on the island go to the beaches of Snake Island to nest and lay their eggs, which is like an annual buffet for snakes.
Whether it is a bird's egg or a young bird, it has become the food of the snake.
When the adult bird returns to its nest, all that awaits it is the feathers and empty nests.
Because of this, Snake Island has become a paradise for poisonous snakes, but they are not completely free of natural enemies.
On this snake island, the only natural predator of snakes is humans.
Because the golden spearhead pit viper is a critically endangered species, and although this snake is highly venomous, its venom is an important raw material for making serum.
On the local black market in Brazil, a single golden viper can fetch as high as $10,000.
Despite the extreme danger of Snake Island, many people still choose to take the risk.
They only need to slip quietly to the shore in a small boat and search for the empty coastline to find the single poisonous snake, avoiding the greater danger of entering the jungle.
At the local price level in Brazil, this poisonous snake can change the fate of a family, although 30,000 people in Brazil are bitten by poisonous snakes every year, but this still cannot stop the madness of snake catchers.
Today, Brazil has protected snake islands, and hopes that these small snakes can continue to be their "mountain kings". #蛇 #
