When it comes to centipedes, one of the "five poisons", many people are creepy, after all, people are naturally afraid of multi-legged animals, and centipedes are poisonous Most people stay away from it and avoid it.
Centipedes are terrestrial arthropods, and their bodies are composed of many body segments, each of which has walking feet, so it is a multi-legged creature. Centipedes are also known as dragons, hundred-footed insects, less-spiny centipedes, etc., and common centipedes have three types: red head, green head and black head. The red head has a reddish-black back and a reddish belly and a yellowish orange-red or yellow foot. The bluehead has a blue back and feet, a pale blue belly, and is small, about half the length of the red-headed centipede. The black-headed centipede has a black back and feet, a yellowish belly and a smaller body. Centipedes are carnivores with a wide range of diets, especially preying on various insects. Centipede venomous glands secrete venom.
But this poison is very afraid of the rooster, and it has been reduced to a rooster's dessert after dinner, why? Let's give you a popular science.
First of all, the rooster's feathers are very thick, and the centipede venom has to enter the bloodstream to exert its toxicity, and the centipede's fangs are difficult to pass through the rooster's feathers into the blood, so it is difficult to hurt the rooster, so the centipede can only recognize the plant when it sees the rooster.
Secondly, the rooster's claws have a thick cuticle layer, and the centipede's fangs are not enough to pierce this hard stratum corneum, so it can't hurt the rooster, and the rooster's pointed and hard beak will find the actual one, instantly giving the centipede a fatal blow, and the centipede naturally becomes the rooster's plate meal.
Finally, the rooster's liver has a strong detoxification function, and if it is accidentally bitten by a centipede, the rooster's liver will react quickly to reduce the toxicity of toxins to the body.
Therefore, through the above points, the centipede has no way to take the rooster at all, it can be said that nature is one thing descending from one thing, and every animal has more or less natural enemies.
