#夏日生活打卡季 #
With the arrival of summer, the temperature rises during this period, and various mosquitoes and poisonous snakes also come out in large numbers. In rural areas, various snakes are common in some mountain and forest areas.
Among them, the Wang Jin snake is a snake with a high photo rate in rural areas, I believe many people have heard of its name, and many people have seen it. After all, the courage of this snake is relatively large, and they often enter the farmer's yard and indoor in order to chase food.
In the past, old people often said that the snake in the house could not be beaten, and it was necessary to invite it out. Among them, it is basically Wang Jinsnake. It is because this is a non-venomous snake that generally does not bite us humans, and the reason why it often appears in the rooms where we humans live is also to help us eliminate rodent infestation.
After all, rats are the object of prey on many snakes, including the Wang Jin snake.
About this kind of snake, a widely circulated saying among the people is "a king brocade snake in one place, ten miles without poisonous snakes", saying that if a king jin snake is found in the ground, there is often no poisonous snake in a radius of ten miles.
Why is that? Since it is a non-venomous snake, why is it called the "king of a hundred snakes"? Let's find out together!
In fact, as long as you understand some of the characteristics of Wang Jinsnake, these questions will be solved. The king snake is a larger snake in the family Snake family, the genus Brocade snake. This snake is long and thick, it can generally grow to more than 2 meters, and the weight is also large, like most snakes are long and thin, and Wang Jin snake is a heavy player, the weight can be 5-10 pounds, some large heads are more than 20 pounds.
I remember when I was a child, the old man who could catch snakes in the village caught a Wang Jin snake that weighed more than 2 meters and weighed more than ten pounds. Listen to him, the largest has more than 20 pounds.
And the biggest feature of this snake is that the markings on the body are very similar to cauliflower, so it is also called cauliflower snake in the folk. In addition, when it encounters danger, it will also release odor like weasels and other animals, which is stinky and unsmelly, so it also has the nickname "stinky king snake".
In addition, the head of the Wang Jin snake has markings similar to the Wang Zi, so it is easy to distinguish it from these aspects.
Why is Wang Jin Snake called the "King of Hundred Snakes"?
The folk saying "one land king brocade snake, ten miles without poisonous snake", this sounds a bit exaggerated, but there is also some basis. And in China, Wang Jinsnake does have the strength to be called the "snake king".
First of all, Wang Jin snake is big. Although snakes are abundant in the mainland, most of them are not too large, and the Wang Jin snake is one of the few large ones. This aspect is manifested in its body length, weight. Especially the weight, even if it is the same body length, the Wang Jin snake is much thicker.
Secondly, the Wang Jin snake is a fierce snake. Although the Wang Jin snake is a non-poisonous snake, it is very fierce, and even when it encounters its own kind, it will kill each other. The biggest difference is that the vast majority of snakes have relatively small guts and will take the initiative to run away when they encounter danger.
The Wang Jin snake is different, they are bold, and extremely fierce, and they will take the initiative to attack when they encounter danger. Even if it is a non-poisonous snake, the advantages of body length and weight allow it to easily strangle the other party.
Finally, the king jin snake is immune to most snake venom. The reason why it is said that "a king brocade snake in one place, a non-poisonous snake in ten miles" is because the king brocade snake also loves to eat snakes. Wang Jin snakes not only love to eat mice, various birds, etc., but also like to eat all kinds of snakes, whether poisonous or non-poisonous snakes, they like to eat.
The non-poisonous king jin snake dares to eat poisonous snakes because it has a special ability - it can be immune to the vast majority of snake venom. That is to say, ordinary poisonous snakes bite Wang Jin snakes, just like mosquitoes bite us humans, there is not much harm to them.
Even a five-step snake with a similar size to it would be easily crushed by the Wang Jin snake. It is also because of these advantages of the Wang Jin snake that it has the title of "King of a Hundred Snakes", and the vast majority of snakes see it, basically in disaster. Only a very few who are lucky can get away with it.
In addition, Wang Jin snake's body also has a smelly gland, which secretes an extremely smelly liquid to protect itself when in danger. And this snake also has this smell on its body, and you can smell this smell from afar.
Most of these snakes are very sensitive to some special smells, so there are generally no other snakes around the king brocade snake, even if they are poisonous snakes, which is also the basis for the ancients' summary of "a land king brocade snake, ten miles without poisonous snakes". So the question is, if the king jin snake and the king cobra meet, who do you think will be better? In the editor's opinion, it is estimated that both sides lose.
In the past, there were more Wang Jin snakes in the south, distributed in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places, and it often appeared in rural areas in front of and behind houses. At that time, in many places, there was still the habit of eating the king jin snake, and many people would catch it to eat.
But now, with the deterioration of the ecological environment and human factors, the Wang Jin snake, like most other snakes, has become relatively rare in rural areas. And wild animals are not edible, this should be remembered.
