In mainland folklore, there is a legend that there is a very peculiar snake in nature, its snake head has a cockscomb, often haunted, and in many local folklore, there are records about this "cockscomb snake".
Moreover, some elderly people claim to have seen this strange-looking snake, according to many old people, this snake has a red cockscomb on its head, and it often haunts.
But although in the mouths of many old people, this kind of "cockscomb snake" really exists, but why has no one seen it at all now.
Even now, although there are many rumors and records about the "cockscomb snake" in various parts of the people, it is impossible to find evidence of its existence anywhere, even if it is a picture taken and a taxidermy.
Does the "cockscomb snake" in folklore all over the country exist, and if it really exists, why do you only hear legends now, and why no one has seen it now?
«——【·能长冠的“鸡冠蛇”？·】——»
"Cockscomb snake", it was recorded in the ancient book "Lu Wei Ji", the head has a red crown, like the red crown of a rooster, and the growth can reach more than one foot.
It moves very quickly, its body is very thick, about a few inches, and it is so poisonous that if someone is bitten by it, it is almost certain to die, and there is no antidote to save it.
Moreover, this kind of cockscomb snake has many legends in many folk, and there are many rural old people who say that they have seen this kind of cockscomb snake.
"Cockscomb snake" many old people described, they move very fast, and their attack power is very strong, especially when hunting, if you meet, but do not easily provoke, this "cockscomb snake", will easily retaliate against people.
But up to now, no one has ever seen this kind of "cockscomb snake" in the old mouth, in a legend about the cockscomb snake has been described, the reason why the cockscomb snake is called the cockscomb snake, on the one hand, is because its snake head, there is a red crown like a rooster.
On the other hand, they will live in a place called Cockscomb Mountain, which is not only very large, very strong in attack, but also colorful and very beautiful, especially in the sunlight, the body is colorful.
These snakes are also very powerful, they can glide low, they move very fast, and they also cluck in the early morning, just like the roosters raised by the villagers.
According to legend, this snake that lives on the Cockscomb Mountain often goes down the mountain to hunt the cattle and sheep of the villagers, which makes many villagers miserable.
So there are bold villagers, just after these snakes on the Cockscomb Mountain fell asleep, they set fire to the mountain, and after that, the Cockscomb Snake on the Cockscomb Mountain never disappeared again.
But later, many places in the folk appeared, about the legend of the cockscomb snake, many people think that it must be when the mountain was burned, a few were missed, but this is just a legend after all, and there is no real evidence.
What makes people very suspicious is that in many folk areas, rumors about the cockscomb snake are widely circulated, and many rural elders claim to have seen this so-called cockscomb snake.
But so far, there is no evidence that it really exists, what is the reason for this?
«——【Does it really exist?·】——»
Although there are rumors about cockscomb snakes, which are widely circulated in the folk areas of the mainland, although there are now more than 3,000 species of venomous snakes known on the whole earth, and there are many kinds of poisonous snakes among these poisonous snakes.
For example, king cobras, cobras and silver kraits, although they are very poisonous, but compared to the legendary cockscomb snake, their toxicity does not reach 100% fatality.
And now in nature, although we don't fully understand the snake animal, there are many colorful snakes on the body, and there is no snake like the legendary cockscomb snake that exists.
Therefore, many experts believe that the existence of the cockscomb is likely to be a fiction, or it may just be a legend, in ancient times when it was underdeveloped, people would think of some creatures that people did not understand, as a kind of mystery.
For example, now, lizards that can change color did not know about them at all, so it is likely that they will be regarded as cockscomb snakes.
Some people also believe that in fact, this so-called cockscomb snake is real, but the ancients' description of this snake is too exaggerated.
Because compared to the chameleon lizard, the tabby-necked groove snake is the snake that most resembles the legendary cockscomb snake in appearance, except for the lack of a cockscomb on its head.
Because the chameleon lizard, although it can change color and, to some extent, is very much in line with people's description of the colorful cockscomb snake, it is a non-venomous one.
The tabby-necked groove snake is completely different, not only is it very colorful, but it is also a highly venomous snake, and its most famous feature is.
Its neck is a very bright red color, which is also very noticeable, and many experts believe that the so-called cockscomb snake is likely to be this tabby-necked groove snake.
Although this snake is slightly less poisonous than the king cobra, in ancient times, if someone was bitten by it, it would indeed cause death, after all, ancient medicine was not as developed as it is now.
In the early years, the tabby-necked groove snake can be said to be widely seen in the wild areas of the mainland, and even its number has a large existence, but in recent years, with the continuous change of the environment, the number of tabby-necked groove snakes is becoming less and less, and it has gradually become uncommon.
However, there are also objections to speculation, speculating that the legendary cockscomb snake is likely to be real, and that it is not any of the snakes we know about today.
It's a separate existence, and only so far, we haven't found any trace of them.
Perhaps in ancient times, they would often appear in people's sight, but now they have hidden traces, or this so-called cockscomb snake has long been extinct and disappeared from this world.
Although there are many speculations about the cockscomb snake, but now in the scientific community, or in the people, no one has completely come up with a piece of evidence to show that it is a snake in our lives, or a snake that has long disappeared.
If it has long disappeared, it will definitely be in nature, leaving behind fossilized bones, etc. But no evidence has been found to show that.
If it really doesn't exist, then what is this cockscomb snake in legends and many folk records?
The old man who once claimed to have seen the cockscomb snake saw what he saw, although there is no accurate conclusion about the mysterious creature of the cockscomb snake.
But we believe that in the near future, with the continuous advancement of technology and science, we will be able to find clues about the cockscomb snake and completely decipher its true appearance.
