There has always been a very terrible legend of the "Rat King" in Western history, and many friends may take it for granted that the "Rat King" must be a giant rat, but it is completely unexpected by you, and the "Rat King" is a lot of rats!
In an extremely eerie way, their tails are knotted together by some mysterious force, and they are a dead knot that cannot be opened without the assistance of a highly intelligent species. But the question is how can a rat get tangled together with its tail? And in the rumors of Western history, the discovery of the "rat king" is often accompanied by disasters and plagues, so what does the strange discovery of the rat king in 2021 mean?
Russia surprised the strange "rat king", 5 rat tails intertwined to kill the knot
On August 25, 2021, an alibulat rasulov in Russia uploaded a video on social media Instagram showing the phenomenon of the "rat king" that even scientists can't explain!
The filming location was a melon field in the stavropol territory, and Lasulov discovered this strange rat king while irrigating the melon field.
At that time, he waded into the melon field to check the irrigation situation, and suddenly found that there was something shaking next to a watermelon vine, he carefully pulled away the watermelon vine, and found a creepy scene, the tails of the five rats were beaten together in a dead knot, it seemed that everyone wanted to run in their own direction, and the result was that the force was balanced, and they could not run at all.
Rasulov didn't know why, he guessed that maybe the mother rat was worried about the children running around and tied them together, but it turned out that Rasulov was almost drowning because he was preparing to irrigate, and the kind Lasulov unraveled them and gave birth!
What exactly does the super disgusting "Rat King" phenomenon mean?
The rat king phenomenon first appeared in 1564, when the plague was caused by rats, so the rat king was regarded as an ominous omen.
The rat king phenomenon is found from time to time, and there are still cases of sightings in modern times, except for the most recent one in Russia, the most recent one was in Estonia in 2005, and on January 16, 2005, a farmer in Volu discovered the rat king phenomenon
How exactly did the disgusting "Rat King" phenomenon occur?
The Science Museum in Altenburg, Germany, displays the largest and most famous specimen of the Rat King, from the ruins of a flour mill fire in Buheim in 1828, a total of 32 rats, whose tails are inexplicably tangled together to become a rat ball that cannot be solved.
Scientists also have difficulty determining why the rat tails are knotted together, but in several cases it was found that the factor of horse hair was entangled, and the result was that it became deeper and deeper, becoming the rat king phenomenon, and scientists also found in the case of the "rat king" discovered in the Netherlands in 1963 that the mouse tail was entangled in a layer of callosum, which means that these rats did not die quickly, but survived for a period of time.
However, it is still impossible to explain how the other rat king phenomenon occurs. There are two most likely explanations, one is that the rat's tail is contaminated with a more sticky substance, such as resin or glue, which will cause the rats to stick together when they are in the nest, and thus struggle to get tighter and tighter.
Another explanation is more likely, with scientists saying that some of the climbing rat tails have an unconscious gripping response, resulting in this inexplicable entanglement in a large group of rat nests, which is more in line with most of the events that occur in the winter.
But neither can be thoroughly explained, and perhaps there are more complex phenomena leading to this phenomenon. But at least it doesn't bode well for serious consequences, which isn't particularly strange, though what happens in 2021 is strange enough.
Knowingly, there is such a problem, can you untie the snake by knotting itself? The premise is not to hit too tightly, otherwise the snake's ribs and spine are broken and it will be killed. There are many friends whose pet snakes knotted and found that snakes can untie on their own, and it is very easy, there is no need to open the knot at all, it is very natural to untie.
When the sea snake molts, it will play a character of 8 around the coral, and then assist in molting, sometimes it will drive away the parasite and knot itself to remove the parasite, and there is a snake madness that is more interesting, and the python with this strange disease will have abnormal behaviors such as knotting with its body. The condition is called inclusion body disease (ibd), and it seems that the diseased snake cannot untie itself after tying the knot.
