Some friends must have had such doubts, what was the snake called before the invention of glasses?
Cobra, folk have many names, flat-necked snake, puff-necked snake, roller coaster, rice shovel head, etc., because it swells the neck and shows a pattern like the glasses worn by people, after the appearance of glasses in the seventeenth and eighth centuries in the modern era, it was called cobra, and finally became the official name.
Of course, our protagonist today is not it, but the king cobra that is more poisonous than it, the legendary "snake star"!
The king cobra is the largest venomous snake in the world, measuring between three and six meters in length. It is often found in southwest and southern China, usually inhabiting meadows, open slopes and woods. In fact, the habitat of the king cobra is also very extensive, from East Asia to Southeast Asia to India.
Although this guy is called a king cobra, it is still different from the real cobra, it is not a member of the cobra genus, but belongs to a separate king cobra genus.
King cobra is one of the most dangerous snakes in the world, fierce temperament, extremely agile reflexes, flexible head and neck rotation, can attack forward, backward, left and right, but also vertically jump up to attack objects above the head, venom displacement is large, compared with other cobras, it is simply a big kill.
Its nickname is 'snake star', because its main food is its kind, snakes eat snakes, have you ever seen it? King cobras have anti-venom serum in their bodies, so when other venomous snakes bite the king cobra, the king cobra is not affected by it.
The territory where the king cobra is located is almost difficult to see other types of snakes, it will eat pythons similar to its size, other types of poisonous snakes and non-poisonous snakes, even cobras are its belly delicacy! When it is extremely hungry, even its own kind is not spared!
The IQ of this product is also very high, when hunting other snakes, can distinguish whether the enemy is poisonous, after all, its venom will not be used easily, if the predator snake is not poisonous, it will bite tightly, let the prey struggle to resist, wait until the end of the prey life and then devour.
When confronting a viper, it uses roundabout tactics, always trying to provoke the other party, provoke the other party, mainly defensive, the opponent will dodge alertly when attacking, and when the opponent is physically and mentally exhausted, a little careless, it quickly locks the head and neck of the prey and releases venom to kill it.
In addition to eating snakes, it also eats lizards, birds, bird eggs and rodents, and the king snake has keen eyesight, is extremely sensitive to surrounding vibrations, and can detect prey movements from 100 meters away.
Even though it is so fierce among snakes, it is still extremely vigilant, raising the first third of its body when defending, and then it will open its mouth, showing its fangs to scare its opponent, looking around while preventing its opponent from attacking. When it thinks it's in danger, it doesn't hesitate to attack.
It is also the snake with the largest amount of venom, it can inject an average of 200~500 mg of venom, and the maximum venom secretion can even reach 7ml. The venom that the king cobra can inject can kill an adult Asian elephant in 3 hours, and such a large elephant can fall directly after 3 hours!
The venom of the king cobra is called "liquid gold", which is dozens of times more valuable than gold, and it mainly contains neurotoxins, but also contains cardiotoxins.
After being bitten, the venom goes straight to the central nervous system, causing severe pain, visual impairment, dizziness, drowsiness and paralysis and other symptoms, cardiotoxins damage the cardiovascular system and shock, and finally respiratory failure, kidney failure, weakened heartbeat, until death.
A bite of the king cobra can be quickly fatal, and the bitten person often needs to inject a large amount of antiserum in a short period of time to fight the snake venom and prevent the toxin from further destroying body functions.
In fact, the speed of death will also be determined by the amount of venom injection and personal constitution of the king cobra, the fatality rate is about 60%, and if it is not treated in time after being bitten, it can be killed within half an hour.
King cobras are still relatively common in China, most snakes only inhabit mountainous areas, only a few prefer to be active in farmland or human living areas, and some are also very unfortunate to appear in the home.
In the middle of this year, due to the heat outside, a king cobra entered Mr. Huang's house in Fangchenggang, Guangxi to "cool down". When Mr. Huang was resting at home, he suddenly saw a big black snake entering from the door, which really startled him and quickly called the police. The uncle of the police drove the goods away with three strokes and five divisions, and Mr. Huang still had palpitations.
Some even climb from the toilet to the home, which is really scary!
If you are unfortunate enough to encounter, do not panic at this time, keep a safe distance from the snake body or a meter, do not disturb it, leave quietly and slowly, and immediately call the emergency rescue number and wait for the police or fire brother to bring professional equipment to please leave.
If noticed by a snake, you can use the method of throwing things to divert attention and attack. Don't take the initiative to provoke it, at any time you must protect yourself first, every life is worthy of respect and awe of nature.
