There is a saying in the countryside, "When a snake meets a pig, it will make you cry!" Is this true? Why is it okay for pigs to eat venomous snakes?

From ancient times to the present, pigs have not changed much in our impression. They are always labeled as being delicious and lazy. This makes it hard to believe that a pig as timid as a mouse can be the nemesis of a poisonous snake. It is somewhat credible to say that the big white goose is not afraid of snakes. After all, geese are well-known in the poultry industry for their ferocity.

However, according to the old people in the village, the wild boars on the mountain like to eat snakes, especially the five-step snakes. They are relatively small and one bite is just right. Even domestic pigs whose wild nature has been worn down will not be scared when encountering venomous snakes.

This can’t help but confuse people. After pigs eat poisonous snakes, won’t they be poisoned? Why is it okay for him to eat?

As we all know, the environment in rural areas and cities is different. Most villages are located in mountains and forests. Farmers rely on mountains and water to eat, and their houses are built relatively low. This leads to many wild animals frequenting food fields and houses. Among them are wild boars.

First of all, I have to explain that wild boars are very different from the domestic pigs we see. Their bodies are covered with bristles, their skin is rough and their flesh is thick, and they also have a pair of long tusks and hard hooves. Villagers who have seen wild boars are unwilling to encounter them again, because wild boars are not only hot-tempered, but also very fierce. They have no idea what fear is. Even tigers are frightened when they meet a crazy wild boar. Therefore, the little poisonous snake was The top of the wild boar is helpless.

As an omnivorous animal, wild boars not only eat fruits and grass roots, but also prey on insects, mice and other small animals. To the wild boar, this is just a spicy note. In fact, compared to grass seeds, the wild boar hopes to encounter a snake when digging the ground. Why is this? Because snakes are like tonics to wild boars. After eating them, they can replenish the body's energy, just like we drink milk and eat food, all for the purpose of replenishing nutrients.

In some mountain villages, farmers will beat the venomous snakes caught on the mountain to death and then throw them into the pig pen for the pigs to eat. However, some snakes that are not completely dead will be used as toys by pigs for a while, and then eaten.

It can be seen that whether they are domestic pigs or wild boars, they are not afraid of snakes at all. They are not picky about snakes either, whether they are poisonous or non-venomous, they can eat them all in one go. When farmers were asked why they did this, they said that feeding snakes to pigs from time to time not only repels insects, strengthens their stomachs and digests food, but also keeps pigs healthy. Aren't farmers afraid of pigs being poisoned? In fact, because pigs eat everything, they have long developed an "iron stomach". They will not let go of even centipedes and hare carrion, let alone venomous snakes. Moreover, most of the venomous snakes are protein, which only becomes toxic when it enters the blood and damages animal nerves.

It is also worth mentioning that in rural areas, in addition to raising big white geese and big yellow dogs to guard the house, people also raise black pigs to prevent snakes from entering the house and stealing chickens and eggs, because black pigs have only one hair on their bodies. There are many, rough skin, and thick fat layer. Even if the venomous snake wants to bite a few times, it may not be able to bite it, and it may even chip its teeth. And even though pigs seem bulky, they actually have a very sensitive sense of smell. They can smell mice, weasels, wolves and snakes in the air, and feel subtle changes in the surrounding environment.

And pigs are smart. If trained well, it can be as good as a big yellow dog as a home caretaker. It has to be said that there is some truth in the saying as a summary of farmers’ experience.

Snakes and pigs are so scared that they cry. All things are interdependent, but they also conflict with each other. In this regard, what other animals do you think are the natural enemies of snakes?
