In some novels, you can often see the word "snake-natured", and the word "obscene" doesn't need to be said too much, it can probably be understood as the meaning of being obsessed with sex and addicted to sex. This statement is definitely a view that humans have observed and refined from some behaviors of snakes, but what did snakes do to make people say this?
Snakes are very ancient reptiles. Their history of existence in evolution far exceeds that of apes. They are reptiles that appeared relatively early, and they appeared about 130 million years ago. Reptiles, as the name suggests, are crawling on the ground. During the evolution of snakes, the color and pattern of the body blended with their environment, so they are a species with excellent camouflage. They mainly hunt by stealth.
Fortunately, snakes are cold-blooded animals, and cold-blooded animals cannot actively regulate their body temperature, which saves energy very much. Relying on extreme hunger stamina, snakes can completely stand by and wait for rabbits, hiding in a place that is convenient for them to hide. When the prey comes to the door, they attack quickly. The attack speed of the snake is very fast. Swallow again.
If the temperature is too low, they need to bask in the sun or simply hibernate. If the temperature is too high, the snake will "go down" and its activity will be weakened. This is also what some snake catchers do when catching python . Although pythons are big in size, their activities will also generate some heat , the more intense the activity, the more heat, and the hyperthermia will also affect the The activity of the protein is different from that of and low temperature . The low temperature weakens the activity, but the temperature restores the activity, but the protein deformation caused by the high temperature is irreversible.
In some online novels, there is often a saying that the nature of snakes is inherently lewd, so that in the creation legend of our country, the ancestor of human is something with a human head and a snake body. Some thoughts on the origin of mankind. However, snakes are mainly a separate species, because they mainly rely on and for instinctive activities, and they will attack instinctively when they encounter a threat, and if there are too many snakes in one place, it is not conducive to the stealth of snakes, and it will also affect hunting. success rate.
However, there are special times when snakes will swarm, and that is during the breeding season. The snake itself is still an animal, and due to the underdevelopment of the brain, it mainly relies on the instinctive activities imprinted in the brain. During the breeding season, female snakes will secrete hormone , which emits an odor that is difficult to detect by other creatures , but once male snakes smell it, they will crawl along the source of the smell, of course, the purpose is to try to do as much as possible pass on their genes.
Among reptiles, females are often larger than males, and reptiles do not have reproductive organs that adapt to each other like mammals. They only have a cloaca, which is related to urination, defecation, , and reproductive functions, but there are no reproductive organs that adapt to each other. , the reproduction of snakes is somewhat troublesome, and the probability of success in a single comparison may be relatively low. Therefore, female snakes will attract a large number of males during the breeding period, and they will entangle together for mating and reproduction.
And snakes have also evolved another special ability. Females can keep male sperm in their bodies for 3-4 years, and they can lay fertilized eggs from different males in a single reproductive period.Snakes oviparous animals , but generally do not have the behavior of protecting their eggs. After wrapping the eggs in a relatively safe place, the adult snakes will run away, and then the mating activities of the snakes will stop. The snake has resumed its solitary life habit .
The reproductive habit of snakes is the source of the so-called snake nature. A single female snake can attract a lot of male snakes during the breeding season, and they will entangle and mate without hesitation. People have found that snakes mate for reproduction, which may have produced some bad associations and , imposing human moral values on snakes, thinking that snakes are unclean, and such group mating behaviors are rare among humans. , so the snake is crowned with a "kinky" statement.
In fact, this is really wronging snakes. Every creature has its own way of survival. The physiological structure of snakes determines that their reproductive efficiency is slightly lower. Don't look at the number of eggs laid each time, but this may be many times. Only achieved during mating. Their mating activities are not like the spiritual experience of higher animals, they are purely for reproduction, because the brain of snakes is a typical reptile brain, with underdeveloped emotions and underdeveloped peripheral sensory terminals, they will not have anything in mating special experience.
The survival of living things is reproduction, and even human beings cannot escape this matter. Human beings gave birth to civilization, but civilization needs to be inherited and developed, so human beings need to multiply. Although the way of life of human beings has undergone great changes in modern times, and people's views on fertility are different from those in the past, under today's population base, even if it is not for the purpose of reproduction, the interaction and union of human men and women will still produce offspring. , the long-term persistence of human populations.
