What are snakes afraid of?
Snake is a very common and peculiar animal. It is said that snakes are common. There are many kinds of snakes. According to the data included in "The Reotile Database", there are 3425 kinds of snakes in the world. Our snakes in China There are 241 species. Of course, this data may not be 100% accurate, because there may be some snakes in the world that we humans have not discovered. In addition to the wide variety, the distribution of snakes is also very wide, and snakes are found in all parts of the earth except the north and south poles. It is said that snakes are a very strange animal, because snakes have a very special habitat and a variety of habitats, and snakes are not warm-blooded animals, there is no perfect thermoregulation mechanism to maintain a constant body temperature, their body temperature will follow Changes in temperature, that is, when the temperature rises, the body temperature of the snake will also increase, and conversely, the body temperature of the snake will decrease when the temperature drops. It is precisely because there is no perfect thermoregulation mechanism to maintain body temperature, snakes are very sensitive to the temperature of the environment, and the most suitable temperature for snakes to come out is 20-30 °C. If the temperature is very low, such as in winter, the body temperature of the snake will also be very low, and the function of the snake will decrease. If the temperature is below 10 °C, the snake will stop all activities and enter a hibernation state, during which they will Without eating or drinking, the metabolic level drops to a minimum. This is also the reason why we often see snakes in summer and autumn, but basically no snakes in winter. Of course, the temperature is too high for snakes. If the temperature exceeds 35°C, snakes will also reduce their activities and choose to hide in some shady places to reduce their body temperature, such as hiding in grass, shade, or water. , and sometimes these snakes even come to our home to cool off. Therefore, from this point of view, snakes are actually afraid of cold and heat, too cold or too hot is not conducive to the activities of snakes. Besides the temperature, what are snakes afraid of? The snakes we see often stick out their thin, long, and forked tongues, and they keep flashing. In fact, snakes use their tongues to collect chemical molecules in the air, and finally produce a sense of smell. Many snakes rely on smell to find food, and some snakes find food directly by sight. Most snakes are more afraid of the smell of sulfur and realgar, so some people also use realgar powder to prevent snakes, or some pungent odors such as wind oil to prevent snakes.
