Everyone should be afraid of snakes. Have you ever thought about why snakes have no feet, so why can they still walk so fast?
There is a snake called Black Mamba . They are the fastest in the snake movement speed ranking. When it needs to move quickly, the speed can reach 15-20 kilometers per hour, while the speed of ordinary electric vehicles is only 15-30 kilometers per hour. If you are targeted by this snake, the outcome can be imagined.
But the snake doesn’t even have feet, so why does it run fast? It is very interesting to ask why snakes walk, but it should be distinguished that snakes do not walk with their belly, but with "belly scales".
If you observe carefully, you will find that the snake's body is covered with tiny scales, but the scales on the abdomen look different. They are huge rectangular shapes, arranged neatly like tiles. The picture below is the snake's belly scales, which are obviously different from the scales on the body!
Snakes can move entirely by their abdominal scales, and the function of the abdominal scales is equivalent to the snake's feet.
When the snake wants to crawl forward, it will activate the muscles of the whole body, let the abdominal scales come into contact with the ground, and then push its snake body forward through friction and reaction forces.
In short, this process is very similar to walking with people on their feet, except that snakes walk with their belly scales all over their body, while people walk with their two long legs one by one and one behind.
What is mentioned above is how the snake moves, so why can the snake climb so fast?
This is because of the special body structure of a snake. It can be said that the whole body of a snake is full of sports organs, and the number of ribs alone is astonishing, ranging from more than 100 pairs to more than 400 pairs. We humans only have 12 pairs.
You think, snakes have ribs from head to tail, and each pair of ribs is connected to developed muscles and abdominal scales. It is natural and powerful to get up, just like countless feet exerting force at the same time, and the coordination is very coordinated. This is why snakes can walk so fast!
Also, snakes are very smart animals. When they crawl, they will find some force for themselves, such as rocks, branches or dents. The rougher and more uneven the places, the easier it is to climb.
If the snake is placed on a smooth glass plate or ceramic tiles, the snake will not be so comfortable to get up!
Now I know that the snake can move because its abdominal scales are propelled by reaction force, and the movement speed is very fast because the snake's whole body is full of sports organs and the number of ribs is very large!
The editor is actually very afraid of snakes, but he also likes to watch snake-related content. It is both vegetarian and loves to play. So what about you, are you afraid of snakes?
