Chapter 169: The Dangerous Rattlesnake
Xiao Lingfeng carefully observed the surroundings and finally found the creature hidden in the stone crevice. "Friends, if you hear this rustling sound in the wild, remember to keep an eye out for it, because there is likely to be a rattlesnake next to you. ”
The camera zoomed in, and the appearance of the rattlesnake was also reflected in the live broadcast room.
"I'll go, didn't you say that poisonous snakes are all colorful? Why do rattlesnakes look like bears?"
"There's almost no obvious color on this guy, and if you don't look closely at it, it's about the same as gravel, but its tail is quite powerful, faster than my dog's dog. ”
"Brother Feng is finally going to start catching snakes and eating snakes, a long time ago, it was like watching the explanation of Brother Feng eating snakes. ”
"Snakes are delicious, especially for stewed soup, tsk~!"
"The northerners said they didn't dare to eat snakes, and they were scared when they saw them. ”
"Why is this guy called a rattlesnake, how can its tail make a sound?"
Xiao Lingfeng explained, "The rattlesnake is a venomous snake with tusks, and snake venom is blood circulation. Generally, the body length is about 1.5~2 meters. The body is yellowish-green with diamond-shaped black-brown spots on the back. The end of the tail has a string of rings, which is the remnants of multiple molts, when encountering enemies or sharp activities, quickly swing the tail ring of the tail, which can swing 40~60 times per second, and can make a loud sound for a long time, so that the enemy does not dare to approach, or is scared away, so it is called a rattlesnake. ”
"This snake is known as the most fucked-up kind of poisonous snake, its poison may not be as high as the black mamba, but its attack method can be the same as the most poisonous black mamba! The vast majority of poisonous snakes generally bow their bodies, aim at thunder, catapult out, and then pierce the skin of their prey with their fangs to inject deadly venom, but this very fucked rattlesnake does not need to bow over to catapult and attack. ”
The rattlesnake is wagging its tail desperately, it is warning the intruder that you are in danger!
Rattlesnakes can attack without catapulting their bodies, and they are very fast, and the longest attack range can be two-thirds of their body, which means that as long as this guy wants to bite the prey close to him, it will definitely not be able to escape.
"Although the rattlesnake is weird, its habits are different from most snakes, although it will also use its forked letter to detect things around it, according to the unique thermal imaging of snakes, but rattlesnakes will not attack stationary creatures!" Xiao Lingfeng held a branch, intending to pick the rattlesnake out of the cave.
"It is said that even if the rattlesnake is decapitated, its mouth can still open and close, and it can also bite, that is, the severed head can still open and close under the action of nerves, and survive for at least half an hour, or even longer. ”
When preying on birds, the venom will often control the dose of venom, and will not inject too much venom, just to kill the prey.
But if humans attack poisonous snakes, when they are frightened, they will give the most serious counterattack, at this time the poisonous snake will not care about the amount of venom, as long as it bites the human who tries to attack itself, the poisonous snake will inject all the venom that is left of itself, which is an instinctive reaction.
"When catching the rattlesnake again, you must be careful, don't get too close, this snake is about 2 meters, that is to say, it can extend 1.4 meters, and the long pole in my hand is about 2 meters, so I can be completely assured that it will not be bitten. With that, Xiao Lingfeng picked the rattlesnake out of the crack in the stone.
"Hiss~!"
Sure enough, the rattlesnake quickly counterattacked, and the lollipop also clearly captured the rattlesnake's attack, which was as fast as lightning, ejected in the blink of an eye, and then quickly contracted back.
"I'll go, this guy is so fast, I can see its fangs in the state of the blade, it's so big. ”
"Some snakes have sharp fangs, and when they inject venom, they can also cause heavy bleeding, and it seems that rattlesnakes' fangs can cut through large slices of flesh. ”
"It's really no joke to catch snakes in the wild, it's over if you're not careful, this rattlesnake is much more dangerous than the pit vipers we catch in the south. ”
"It is said that the head of a rattlesnake can survive for a long time, and it can open and close and bite after cutting off the head. ”
", the body of a snake with its head cut off can move, but this head doesn't seem to work, right?"
Xiao Lingfeng pressed the rattlesnake's head with a wooden stick, "To deal with this snake, you need to hold its head tightly, and then quickly cut off its head with a knife, what the friend said just now is very right, the rattlesnake is indeed very fucked, and the head can be opened and closed for 1 hour after being decapitated." ”
"I've got a little piece of wood here, let's take a closer look. Xiao Lingfeng took the wood and approached the rattlesnake's mouth, "See, it bit the wood, although the rattlesnake's head is dead, but under the action of nerve instinct, the snake's head can still open and close, and now there is venom left in this guy's mouth." ”
In the end, Xiao Lingfeng buried the snake's head with sand, and then pressed a few small stones as a mark, if he accidentally walked around here and was bitten by his tongue, he would be done directly, and there was no snake venom here.
Handled the rattlesnake a little, skinned it, and then pulled out the internal organs, there was really very little blood in the reptile, almost no need to clean, and there was no excess water for you to squander in this desert, so you had to just do it, almost.
Xiao Lingfeng took the treated snake and emphasized, "Everyone try not to hunt poisonous snakes in the wild, this kind of snake is very dangerous, it will be bitten without serum, and it will be over in minutes." ”
"Rattlesnakes are born with fangs that can inject toxins, and they are able to control the amount of injected. They usually inject a whole dose of toxin into their prey, but sometimes they may inject a smaller dose or even no dose of toxin during defence. This is not necessarily the case for frightened or injured rattlesnakes. Young snakes may not be injected with the same dose of toxin as adult snakes, but they are enough to kill. Any rattlesnake bite must be treated immediately and professionally. ”
After a rough search around, they eventually caught a viper, which was smaller enough to try to drink in stew, while the larger rattlesnake was roasted and eaten.
"See what I caught?" Xiao Lingfeng came to the Stone Formation Shelter and showed off to Duan Xuerong and Lingling, who were taking a nap.
There's nothing happier than finding food in a desolate desert, especially when you're hungry and looking at the flesh of a white snake.
"Is this snake meat?" Duan Xuerong licked her red lips, "I've eaten snake soup before, and it tastes pretty good." ”
