The Amazon forest hopper is the largest extant snake, can grow to 6 to 7 meters in length, weighs more than 200 pounds, is the top predator in the Amazon forest, has no natural enemies in adulthood, and even adult caimans are its plate.
Mainly distributed in South America, the Amazon forest hopper usually inhabits muddy shallow water, and the recipe includes water birds, capybara, caiman, etc., at the top of the South American river food chain, and the adult forest grasshopper has no natural predators.
There are many exaggerated rumors about the size of the forest grasshopper, 10 meters, 20 meters, and even 40 meters, but most of them are false, either unfounded rumors, leaving no physical evidence, or some witnesses casually estimate the length, invisibly exaggerating the data.
In fact, in the years of zoologists research and measurement, more than 6 meters of forest grasshoppers are already relatively rare, the largest forest grasshopper that has been found and accurately measured, was captured and measured by reptilian Williams Rama, its body length is 7.5 meters, weighs 160 kg.
The forest crab is not only a top predator, its reproductive ability is also very strong, a litter's up to seventy or so (the forest grasshopper is an egg birth), why are their numbers still very rare?
Mainly because the forest crab will not take care of children, the larvae are born to support themselves, the newly born nymphs are only about 60-70 cm, so most of the young will be predated by jaguars, caimans, etc., only a very small number can grow up smoothly.
When the forest hopper reaches adulthood, it can walk sideways, and even the caiman is not its opponent at all, and many photographers and zoologists have witnessed the adult forest hopper swallowing the adult caiman.
The forest bug is not poisonous, mainly to win the plate, when the prey bites the prey, it will use the body to coil the prey, and constantly shrink the space, until the prey suffocates and dies. The mouth of the forest bug can open and close to 180 degrees, and as long as the mouth can stuff into it, it can eat it.
In 2014, an American explorer, Paul Rossori, risked his life to conduct a forest hopper swallowing experiment, wearing a special protective suit, coated with pig blood, and then lying on the side, quietly waiting for the forest grasshopper to act.
The mori first bit his head, and if he wasn't wearing a special helmet, Paul's head would have been opened, and then the mori began to wrap around with his body.
However, when the entanglement was halfway through, before the moth had really exerted its strength, Paul pressed the emergency call button, and according to him, the protective suit had been deformed, his hand was almost broken, and he was pressed to the point of not being able to breathe, and if he had waited a little longer, he would have lost his life. The power of the forest grasshopper is evident. #头条创作挑战赛 #
