Cobra is one of the most famous snakes. In rural areas, we call it Pufan Madness, because cobras look like Pufan when they hold their heads high. Because it is very toxic, we call it a madman.
I am very afraid of snakes, not to mention cobras. There are rumors in the Jianghu that cobras are fierce. When attacking people, they hold their heads high. Here I have a story about cobra told by my father.
My father told me that when cobra attacks people or other animals, it will hold its head high, and then the cheeks on both sides of its tongue will make a noise, which is very scary. At this time, a brave man will stand up and look at the cobra. When the cobra sees a person taller than it, it will immediately raise its head. Cobra's purpose is to get ahead. Before the attack, the snakehead was taller than the man. Of course, this is what my father said. Whether it is like this or not, I have never met it. Moreover, my father also told me that when snakes chase people, people have to run the S route, not the straight line, so they are vulnerable to attack.
As for the situation that cobras bite each other, the probability of poisoning each other is relatively low. In addition, cobras rarely bite each other, but cobras bite other different kinds of snakes, so other kinds of snakes will be poisoned.
According to others, if a person bites a snake, it will be poisoned. It's like two people kissing, but if they bite each other, they will be infected. Cobra venom is very toxic, and the venom of an adult cobra can kill at least 20 people. But cobra itself has no antibody to its venom. If they inject venom into the blood, they will also be paralyzed and die.
The most obvious feature of cobra is its neck, which can expand outward to intimidate its opponents. Because its neck expands, its back will show a pair of beautiful black and white spots that look like glasses, so it is named cobra. Snake venom belongs to protease neurotoxin, which is a high-risk venom, so it is not uncommon in poisonous snakes.
I once watched a TV program ―― snake hunting. Two men, known as the King of Snakes, chose two of the fiercest cobras from their farms and put them on the grass to compete. Both snakes are fierce, but they both know their attack paths and special skills. After playing for a long time, no one can do anything. It can be seen from here that it is extremely impossible for them to inject venom into each other's blood. Similar people cherish each other. Although some people breed cobras and watch them entwine in the snake pond, it is rare to see them really bite each other. For example, local dogs fight in the countryside, and they all look fierce. Dogs of the same size don't really bite people. They know that no one can do anything about it. Therefore, general farmers, if they breed animals in groups, breed them separately according to the density. Without territorial competition, no one can do anything, so there will be no life-and-death war between the same kind.
The well-known is Zhoushan Cobra, which is unique to China and also called Chinese Cobra. Commonly known as: bat snake, flat-necked snake, flat-headed snake, flat-headed snake, thin-shell snake, soft-shelled turtle, blowing snake and so on. This cobra is highly toxic, but now it has also been killed and entered the wildlife protection list.
Summary: Cobra is a very spiritual snake. They bite each other and don't really attack each other with fangs venom, so they look fine.
Cobra will not be poisoned when bitten by other cobras, and cobras are completely immune to their neurotoxins.
Cobra venom is deadly. There is a powerful neurotoxin in cobra venom, which can block the transmission of neuromuscular excitation signals and lead to muscle paralysis. Symptoms of cobra bite include blurred vision, difficulty swallowing and speaking, muscle weakness, dyspnea and failure, vomiting and other abdominal pains, and finally respiratory failure leads to death. Fortunately, under normal circumstances, human beings have antivenom available.
Most snakes are immune to their own venom, which not only means that poisonous snakes have a venom gland dedicated to producing venom-secreting proteins, but also means that toxins are arranged to be confined in a special container to prevent venom from entering the body circulation. When a snake bites, there are tiny muscle cells around these pipes, which will squeeze the venom into its hollow fangs and then enter the holes left by the snake on its prey. So under normal circumstances, venom is stored in a specific part of the body and cannot enter the blood circulation.
In addition, even if venom accidentally enters the blood circulation, poisonous snakes are generally completely resistant to their own toxins. For example, the blood of rattlesnakes contains enzymes that inactivate their own venom, thus protecting themselves from their own venom. However, cobra is not. On the contrary, cobra, as the receptor of toxin target, has a different structure from that of mammalian receptor, which makes cobra neurotoxin unable to recognize its receptor, so its neurotoxin has no toxic effect on itself. Just like a key can only open one lock, cobra neurotoxin can't hurt itself, even if it is bitten by the same kind.
Cobra venom is a mixture of neurotoxins, which is very scary and can block neuromuscular conduction. Once an animal is bitten, it will be paralyzed and die. Cobra fangs are actually not long, usually 4-6 mm long. There is a small hole in the upper part of the ditch in front of the venom, from which the venom flows in. There is also an outflow hole at the tip of the tooth. After biting the prey, the venom flows out from here into the prey and then begins to poison it. When the cobra is provoked, it will take the initiative to attack. At this time, it will be fierce, hold up the front of the body, and the sides of the neck will swell. At this time, the lines of glasses on its back will become more and more obvious, and at the same time, it will make a "whoosh" to intimidate the enemy. He kept spitting his forked tongue, and his head turned with the movements of his prey. He seized the opportunity and bit him hard. Moreover, he moves very fast, and only a few animals can keep up with it. Moreover, even if you don't mess with it, it will take the initiative to attack and often ambush and hunt. Many small animals can't escape its hunting. Even a few cobras will spray venom to attack. If humans are bitten, they will die within an hour without any treatment.
Cobra is frightening because it can still hurt people after death. There have been media reports that cobras still bite people one hour after being beheaded, resulting in death. On both sides of the upper jaw of cobra, there are two glands that are responsible for secreting venom, and the venom will be stored in special poison tubes. When the cobra attacks, the venom of the poison tube will squeeze into the fangs through muscle contraction, and then flow into the bitten animal, causing the bitten animal to die through neurotoxin paralysis.
If you inject more venom after being bitten by a cobra, the venom will spread faster and the chance of death will be greater. In South Asia and Southeast Asia, where cobras are rampant, thousands of people even die from being bitten every year.
Is such a powerful cobra afraid of its own venom?
First of all, because the glands secreted by cobra, the pipes for storing venom and fangs all contain antiviral substances, cobra will isolate the venom from its organs through these substances, so it will not be poisoned by its own venom. Its nerve venom needs to enter the blood to be effective. If this venom is taken orally, as long as there are no wounds in the mouth and stomach and the venom cannot enter the blood, it will decompose under the strong action of gastric acid and will not be poisoned. But if the cobra accidentally bites its tongue, the venom will enter its own blood circulation and poison itself.
There is no doubt that cobras will be poisoned by biting each other.
The toxicity of cobra is creepy, but it is not without natural enemies, and birds such as mongoose or eagle are its nemesis.
Although meerkats are small, they are experts in catching poisonous snakes, especially cobras. Even if cobras are very toxic, they are useless. It was only after experts studied that they knew that there was a chemical substance similar to antivenom in their blood, which could buffer the venom of cobra and effectively resist venom. If Liao people lose this ingredient, they will also be poisoned by cobra.
Can cobras be poisoned by biting each other? I'm sure it will.
Although cobra is very toxic, it has no antitoxin or similar substances to buffer toxicity. If you are bitten by the other party, you will die of poisoning.
It is not uncommon for cobras to kill each other. The law of the jungle also applies to this snake. As long as one side is not careful in the fight, it will be bitten by the other side's fangs, then poisoned and finally swallowed.
Snakes are common in rural areas. In the past, when farmers built houses or cultivated land, they found snakes. In northern China, snakes are basically non-toxic and very small. They mainly live by preying on frogs and mice. Because snakes are endowed with mysterious colors, farmers seldom hurt them, so they always live in peace. However, farmers are sometimes bitten by water snakes when digging Monopterus albus, which is deeply felt by most rural people in their seventies and eighties. I haven't seen cobras, but they are cobras.
Cobra is a famous poisonous snake, also known as rice shovel head, snake blower and rice spoon head. It is said that when they are angry, their bodies can straighten up, their heads are oval, and the skin on both sides of their necks is wrinkled and swollen. At this time, the lines of glasses on their backs became more and more obvious, and at the same time, they made a "whirring" sound to intimidate the enemy. We have seen on TV that snakes never stab each other with their teeth when fighting.
We have never seen cobras bite each other, but we know that cobra venom is in the teeth. After they bite their prey, the venom enters each other's blood system from their teeth, thus poisoning their prey. For the snake itself, there is no anti-venom ability. If venom enters their blood system, they will die, but we have never heard of poisonous snakes poisoning each other, only that they die because of biting or entanglement. It is possible that poisonous snakes have anti-venom ability to the same species. At most, they may be poisoned because of their different age or body length and different ability to digest venom. It is no problem for older poisonous snakes to eat small poisonous snakes.
In a word, cobras are highly toxic, and biting each other will not be toxic, but if one side's venom is injected into the other side's blood system, it will be fatal.
In the animal world, a male cobra killed a female cobra. I swallowed half of it and spit it out again.
Isn't it incredible that cobras are poisoned by the same kind of bite? Cobra mainly transports toxins through teeth. If the venom enters its own blood, the cobra will also be poisoned. Cobra venom is a protease neurotoxin, so it must enter the blood to be effective.
Cobra fights mainly for spouses. For example, the golden cobra cannibalism mainly occurs among males. Five of the six cobras in South Africa will kill each other.
Can cobras be poisoned by biting their tongues? The answer is basically no, the venom made by cobra is poisonous gland, and cobra has two fangs, which can be put away freely and stand up when biting. Moreover, even if the cobra accidentally hurts its tongue, it will not be stupid enough to inject itself with toxins.
How powerful is cobra venom? Cobra venom is mainly divided into neurotoxins and blood toxins. Neurotoxin can block neuromuscular conduction and destroy the nervous system, and blood toxin can coagulate blood. Cobra venom only needs 15mg venom to kill people. When the cobra is provoked, its first half will stand upright, and the skin folds on both sides of its neck will swell, giving an audible warning.
King cobra King cobra is more fierce than other cobras. Its poisonous snake is the largest and its life span can reach about 30 years. China is mainly distributed in southwest and south China. King cobra belongs to the genus King cobra alone, and its main food is other snakes. Because king cobra contains antivenom that can immunize most poisonous snakes, it will not be poisoned when biting. Similarly, king cobra is not immune to the same kind of toxins.
King cobra is smarter, it can distinguish between non-poisonous snakes and poisonous snakes, and non-poisonous snakes will not waste their venom easily. King cobra prefers to eat Agkistrodon halys. Of course, other kinds of snakes also eat it, even when food is insufficient. The maximum venom secretion of king cobra can reach 7ml, and a large amount of antivenom should be injected in time when bitten.
King cobras also fight, but mostly for territory and spouses, but generally they don't bite each other, but the two sides are intertwined and pressed against each other. Winners will bite empty, losers will run away.
After obtaining the mating right, the male king cobra will continue to be nice to the female, because the king cobra will eat the same kind, so the female is also wary, and sometimes the female refuses to be eaten.
Conclusion Cobra has no immunity to autotoxin, and it will die of poisoning if bitten by the same kind. The toxicity of different kinds of cobras in different areas is also different. King cobra, as a poisonous snake of the genus King cobra, has anti-venom immunity to many kinds of poisonous snakes, so it can eat other snakes, but it is not immune to its own toxin.
Most snakes are not immune to snake venom, even their own venom.
Therefore, if the cobra bites itself and breaks its skin, it will also be poisoned. If two poisonous snakes bite each other, they will die together! This is a very simple truth.
It's like two people biting each other, and when they bite the skin, they will get infected.
There is a magical phenomenon in nature, that is, the same species cannot produce antibodies, but can only produce antibodies against foreign body invasion [laughter].
Fencing has a long history. Whether it is all kinds of martial arts movies, novels or historical allusions, there are swords. The following is wha
