Speaking of cobras, our whole family was thrilled.
Because my sister once pulled out edamame, she was bitten by a cobra that jumped out of the ground, her two legs were swollen as thick as a pillar, the skin was all shiny, and the venom swelled through the skin and flowed out, and the people who saw it said that this person was bitten by this snake, and delayed some treatment, and it seemed that he would not be able to live.
Fortunately, later my brother found an old soldier who had joined the army in three or five detachments, and he used a combination of Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine to directly use the method of poison attack to save my sister's life, which is the benefactor of our whole family.
I remember that when he prescribed a prescription for us to grab the medicine, the pharmacy saw that the prescription was toxic and did not give it a catch, saying that eating human life would be jailed, and that to catch the medicine, it must be signed by the person who prescribed the prescription, and all the consequences must be borne. I distinctly remember him saying, "I signed, I went to jail." Without hesitation, he signed it and fought for precious life-saving time.
After taking the medicine, he did not leave, he has been comforting my mother, until the middle of the night before he was relieved: "Now after this point in time, the medicine she took did not spit out, then it will be fine, just now I am comforting you, but I myself am worried, if she spits out, it is that this medicine can not stop the poison, it is really not saved." Now let's all go to sleep and make sure it's all right. ”
This terrible cobra! But it is one of the most venomous snakes in the world. It is neurotoxic and mainly destroys the central nervous system of the person. People who are bitten by cobras will die within a few hours if they are not rescued in time. If you are bitten by a king cobra, you must give first aid, otherwise you will die in tens of minutes. I'm afraid when I think about it now.
The cobra is so powerful, but there is a natural predator that is not afraid of it and specializes in dealing with it. This predator is the badger.
The badger belongs to the mammalian class and is a subfamily of the carnivorous cat family. In China, there are two kinds of animals in this category: one is a crab-eating badger, which is about the same size as a domestic cat; the other is called a red-cheeked badger, which is similar in size to a weasel. Slender body, short limbs, pointed head, long tail, very fluffy hair around the body. You don't underestimate their small body, but their personality is extremely fierce, specializing in preying on all kinds of weak animals, especially the small red-cheeked badger, and they are even more capable of catching snakes, and how powerful the poisonous snakes are, they can't escape its sharp mouth.
Indian badgers also specialize in eating cobras!
When the badger and the cobra fight, the long hairs on the badger's body will stand up, which is a demonstration to the cobra, and it begins to jump on both sides of the cobra, that is, it is looking for an opportunity, and then suddenly the whole body rises up and pounces on it. At this point, it is often possible to bite the neck of the cobra accurately, so that the cobra cannot turn back and bite back. If it can't bite the neck at once, it bites the back of the snake, in which case the badger will jump and duel with the cobra until the cobra is exhausted and overwhelmed, and then it unexpectedly bites the cobra's head and neck and eats it in a big mouthful.
You must be wondering, why don't badgers eat poisonous snakes and get poisoned? Some people believe that the anti-poison ability of the badger comes from heredity; others think that the badger often eats a certain wild herb to obtain the ability; others think that there is a special substance in the digestive tract of the badger that can decompose and destroy the toxins eaten, making it lose its toxicity.
Exactly, it remains to be further analyzed by scientists.
