In ancient times, five species of animals with organs capable of secreting highly poisonous organs were: scorpions, centipedes, spiders, toads and snakes ("spiders" were changed to "geckos").
The five poisons are very annoying. Because their venom can make people miserable and cause all kinds of symptoms. In other words, small animals that can be poisoned even by humans must be very powerful.
So who is the king of the five poisons?
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > scorpion</h1>
North African black fat-tailed scorpion
With the exception of members of the Xenospitta genus, the Yaeyama Scorpion Family and the Flat Stone Scorpion Family, almost all other scorpions are highly poisonous. The Chinese East Asian pincer scorpion (Martha's Scorpion) is only 3 to 5.5 cm long, and can only inject about 0.35 mg of venom at a time, but it will cause great pain and cause nausea and vomiting. If it weren't for the small size of the East Asian pincer scorpion and the small amount of poison injected, you might have been buried. If it is replaced by a more toxic black diamond scorpion, a dark jade thick-tailed scorpion, a green jade thick-tailed scorpion or a yellow fat-tailed scorpion, the fatality rate is still higher. Members of the genus Heterocorpus can also hunt centipedes of the same size with two large, thick pincers. So, scorpions kill an average of more than three thousand people a year.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > centipede</h1>
The centipede is a frightening arthropod. It can grow to 13 to 19 centimeters long, and two poisonous fangs will pierce into the flesh, making people feel painless, and even centipedes have killed people. The Lao giant centipede can kill two African monarch scorpions in a row (the ruler is afraid of scorpions), the giant centipede on the Galapagos Islands, and the Galapagos giant centipede grows to a staggering 25 to 46 centimeters. And what is even more terrifying is that it has also set a record of 62 centimeters abroad! Killing a person is completely fine, even the centipede nemesis ——— chicken is probably helpless against this centipede. And the little snakes have been reduced to food for the Peruvian giant centipede! If it weren't for the centipede's gentle personality compared to the scorpion' temperament, the centipede would most likely attack you!!!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > spider</h1>
Funnel spider ↑
Brazilian wandering spider ↓
Spiders are frightening. It makes our scalps tingle just by its terrifying looks. However, most spiders will never actively attack you. Even the funnel web spiders and Brazilian wandering spiders that can poison people, as long as you don't provoke them, they won't contradict you. The huge size of the bird-catching spider and its fierce appearance seem to be bound to bite when it sees people, in fact, you do not annoy it, it will also take the initiative to climb on your arm and "make love" with you. Moreover, non-toxic and slightly poisonous spiders account for almost half of all spiders, so don't be afraid when you see ghost spiders and blind spiders, it is best not to kill them.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > toad</h1>
Although the toad secreted by the toad is highly poisonous, it is docile in character itself, and it will not take the initiative to attack humans, and it feels that it has no connection with the head of the five poisons
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > snake</h1>
The snake, compared to the other members of the Five Poisons, is even more frightening. Its body length ranges from the smallest to more than 1 meter, and even a chicken cannot eat it; until the largest is 13.5 meters long, swallowing a baby elephant is not a problem. A highly venomous snake is no less poisonous than a hindsighted scorpion. In this way, if a man does not eat a snake, the snake is afraid that he will eat a man.
So start judging the top of the five poisons now! First the toad determines the bottom; then, the snake crushes the scorpion and the centipede with the dual advantages of size and toxicity, and determines that it is in first place; then compare it with scorpions, centipedes, and spiders. Spiders are the smallest and pose the least threat to humans, so they rank second from the bottom, while centipedes are slightly better than scorpions, ranking first among scorpions.
So the rankings come out:
1. Champion: Snake
2. Runner-up: Centipede
3. 3rd Runner-up: Scorpion
4. Spiders
5. Toad
So the ranking is out, our most feared snake is still the champion, it is worthy of the top of the five poisons, but unfortunately the ancients thought it was a scorpion...
