In the magical world of nature, there is a complex food chain between animals, each animal has its nemesis, although generally speaking the strongest animals have a deadly threat to the weakest animals, but the food chain is a circle, no animal can become the king who dominates all animals, even the tall and powerful elephant will be afraid of small mosquitoes. In nature, the snake can bite an elephant to death, but the face of the "sleepy" pig, but also has to be afraid of time.

Venomous snakes and pigs

When it comes to poisonous snakes, many people's first impression is terror, life is often "snake heart", or "once bitten by a snake ten years afraid of the good rope" and so on, it can be seen that people's impression of snakes is not good, in the human subconscious, this soft body slippery They are cold-blooded, aggressive, with sharp teeth, very fast when they attack, and those with deadly venom snakes are even more dangerous, marching in the forest, they have a very high status. Elephants who encounter snakes will choose to avoid, if a head-on conflict, the elephant is also the party that lost.

In contrast, the pig creature in the eyes of people is naive, they are white and fat, and nature loves to eat, although people have a certain misunderstanding of the pig, that it is a representative of stupid. But, not, pigs are highly intelligent, but when they are kept in captivity, someone to serve, so they also lost the original wild and the ability to catch food. Not to mention the ability of the pig itself, but the pig is the nemesis of poisonous snakes, not afraid of the strong attack of poisonous snakes, and this reason has to start from the characteristics of the pig.

The body odor of pigs

First of all, pigs are not so aggressive, encountering other animals will not say immediately alert up, but in their psychological role they do not produce a sense of fear, when encountering poisonous snakes, they will not detour away, but leisurely, this behavior may be in the vigilance of the snake is the very strong illusion of the other side. In addition, the pig's body "body odor" is also its secret weapon.

In people's impression, the pig creatures are not clean, their living environment is extremely chaotic, dirty, and messy, so people often say "you live in a place like a pigsty" to compare a person's chaotic state. Indeed, the pig's food, drink, shit and are all in the same place, so little after the pig's toss, see the smell of the great, and this special smell will naturally bring in the pig's body, this pungent smell can simply faint many animals, so animals are difficult to approach, especially for those who love clean animals.

And snakes creatures happen to be extremely clean animals, they often molt, and often keep a smooth coat, the body's bright colors are their camouflage, and they are extremely smart, so when the surrounding stench comes, they are as far away as possible hide. Pigs in captivity already have a smell that is difficult to approach, not to mention the wild boars that are always outside, the smell they emit is special and distinct, the smell is continuously emitted, and the smell emitted radiates light, in the range where they live, the wild boars are very safe.

Pig's epidermis and gastric juice

Even if the snake is not afraid of the smell of the pig, when they fight head-on, the snake will also fall to a disadvantage. The skin of the pig is very rough and thick and hard, and the skin of the wild pig is many times harder than that of the domestic pig because of the living environment, so the snake cannot bite through the pig. On the contrary, the wild boar's hair is very hard, will be soft-skinned snakes stabbed all over the body.

As mentioned before, pigs love to eat by nature, they are omnivorous animals, and as long as they can eat, come and go. When the snake becomes their food, they are not afraid of the venom of the snake, powerful pigs have a strong super gastric acid secretion, this secretion will be able to quickly digest the snake, before the venom of the snake plays a role, the snake is digested, which can form a little threat to the pig?

Conclusion

So it seems that the wild boar vs. the viper, the wild boar won a big victory, and the cunning and fierce viper is not defeated in front of the wild boar! In the eyes of people seem to be stupid and stupid pigs can kill our lookup cunning and cold-blooded snakes, which is really amazing, and this also illustrates that in nature, no one animal can dominate all, all living things are closely related.

It is this complex food chain relationship that the formation of such a colorful world so that all animals can be balanced development, and the ecosphere is also harmonious. If not for this relationship of mutual restraint, then the earth has long become chaotic, so nature has its own specific laws of survival, people in front of it is only a member the participation.
