There is a very hasty naming method in this world, that is, mix the names of the two creatures to name new creatures. For example, owl , dog-head date , dog-head fish ...
owl/dog-head date/dog-head fish
and dog-head bird! (The above three are all fidelity, but this is made up.)
The protagonist of this article also has a slightly sloppy name - Dog Po Snake .
What is a dog, what is a woman
Friends who grew up in the countryside may have this experience: walking along the path, something that grew up with one palm suddenly slipped out of the weeds, and quickly rushed into another grass with four feet. It is slender, with a round head, four feet distributed on both sides of the body, covered with scales, and reflects a luster in the sunlight. Without looking at its limbs, it looks quite like a little snake. Judging from this, it has four more feet than a snake. It is very reasonable to use the idiom "to add foot to the snake" on it.
Dog Po Snake
The word "snake" in "Dog Po Snake" has gone round, but the word "dog" is really unreasonable. What does this have to do with dogs? In fact, the "dog" here does not refer to a puppy, but the same word "gou". "Gou" means that it looks like a snake, but it has four legs, which has a feeling of being like a four-dimensional one. In Pingxiang, Jiangxi, people call it "dog, cat, snake", and dog and cat are homophonic to "seeing things" and also satirizes its appearance.
This "porn" also has a profound meaning. In some places in Hubei, it is called "Chicken Po Snake". "Ji" and "Po" are homophonics of "Di" and "Lark". I have to say that the scolding of cultural people is high-end, without any dirty words, but it also makes the needle blood and pokes the pain, making the mockery effect full.
Common names are all kinds of strange, but the scientific name is much more serious. This biological name is Stone Dragon Son , which belongs to the Reptile class , Scaly Order , Lizard Suborder , Stone Dragon Son family , and Stone Dragon Son genus are distributed in many places, including Shanghai, Jiangsu, Guangxi, Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, Hong Kong, Hainan, Yunnan and other provinces. Therefore, many friends have seen it when they were young.
looks like a gecko, and can escape by breaking its tail
Some netizens said, um, if this thing is stuck on the wall, wouldn’t it be a gecko! It does look similar to a gecko, but it cannot be confused with the two. They belong to the same suborder lizards, but geckos belong to the geckos family , not the shilongzi family. That is to say, we can roughly think that both are lizards, but they are two different creatures under the large classification of lizards.
In terms of shape, geckos and dog snakes also have some differences: dog snakes' claws are usually sharp, which also facilitates them to climb rougher places such as rocks. The gecko is more interesting. It has a "sucker" on its toes, which is composed of millions of extremely thin bristles, which also allows the gecko to fly over the eaves and walk around the walls. It can be seen that the forms of animals are closely related to their living habits, and we have to sigh at the supremeness of creation.
Everyone knows the escape skill of gecko, that is, break your tail. Who would have thought that Shi Longzi also had the trick of cutting off the tail. When they encounter danger, they will break their tails by themselves, and will be beat and twist continuously to attract attention.
The tail-cut is not a unique behavior of the Gecko family and the Stone-Dragon family. Many other lizards will have tail-cuts. The literature mentions that organisms in the Gecko family and the snake lizard will also have tail-cuts to survive, while organisms in the Iguana family, crocodile family , genus leukid family and bipedal family are not good.
tail break usually occurs when the tail is stimulated by the sudden pull or squeeze, but simply touching its body, the tail generally will not break. After all, this is someone’s life-saving talent, and he will not be able to display it at any critical moment. After the tail is broken, a new tail will grow, but the color will change slightly, and it does not look as harmonious as the original tail.

In this vast land with abundant resources, there are countless creatures of various kinds. There are many kinds of stone dragon (dog woman snake) alone, and they have their own characteristics and their habits are very different.
The most common type of blue-tailed stone dragon in Wuyuan, Jiangxi Province. Their tails are bright blue, and there are 5 light yellow vertical patterns on the back of the larvae. This kind of stone dragon is more "loved to fight", and their fighting behavior is also to win the preference of more favorites. The male and female varicose of this stone dragon seed is mainly reflected in the head, and the male's head is significantly larger than that of the female, which gives some advantages in conquering the opposite sex and defeating the same sex.
Blue tailed stone dragon seeds are very gorgeous, and there are also low-key ones, such as yellow stone dragon seeds , with an inconspicuous gray-black back and abdomen, which is widely distributed and can be seen in Liaoning, Hebei, Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan and Hubei. I feel like this is what I saw when I was a child, and flashed past my feet in shame.
Stone dragon seeds feed on insects and love to eat ants and moths, which is also good for our lives. But there is a kind of stone dragon in Australia that seems to have " pica ". In addition to insects, they also love to eat flowers. Whenever the flowers bloom, they will seize the opportunity and eat them voraciously. At the same time, it also has a very interesting feature, it is very loyal to its partner. Once this stone dragon son has chosen a partner, he will meet in every spring after that, and this behavior will last for 20 years or even longer. It is truly regrettable to be so dedicated.
When I was a child, I was still very common in the grass, piles of rotten leaves, or corners of the wall. Although it has a "snake" in its name, it has a gentle personality and is non-toxic and does not bite people. Some children with higher courage will also grab it as a toy. Some people who understand pharmacology will also grab Shilongzi and soak in wine to treat rheumatism, numbness and headaches. As the city construction progressed, Shi Longzi seemed to slowly disappear with the grass in front of the door, and never saw it again.
The reduction in the number of stone dragon seeds is not an illusion. In order to protect wild stone dragon seeds, it was included in the "National Protection List of Land Wildlife with Good or Important Economic and Scientific Research Value" issued by the State Forestry Administration on August 1, 2000. Regarding the "three-in-one animals", the of the Chinese Criminal Law stipulates that it is illegal to capture one piece without permission, and catching more than 20 pieces is a crime, and catching more than 50 pieces is considered a major criminal case of . Therefore, if you encounter it in the wild, don’t reach out to catch it. It is both to protect animals and to protect yourself.
