Rat, eating snakes can be said to be natural and commonplace. Like the most common cauliflower snake in rural areas, they can eat tens of thousands of mice in a year.
But do you know? Mouses can also eat snakes! There is also a proverb in the countryside: "Snakes eat rats for half a year, and rats eat snakes for half a year." So, how do rats eat this powerful enemy?
Snake, as a cold-blooded animal. It cannot maintain its own calories like we humans, so that we can survive well in a low-temperature environment.
Therefore, whenever the external temperature drops to a certain temperature, Snake will look for relatively safe caves to hibernate. Prevent yourself from being frozen to death because of the low temperature.
But snakes are a kind of reptile , without limbs and do not make holes. Therefore, in order to obtain a hibernation nest, they will kill the indigenous people in the cave and then occupy the magpie's nest.
and mouse holes will be their preferred target. Because in this way, they can not only get a nest for hibernation, but also have a full meal.
After snakes find a place to hibernate, they will gradually enter a state of hibernation as the temperature drops outside. This will also bring about time to be preyed by mice.
Because once snakes enter hibernation, the efficiency of various enzyme conversion in the body will become very low, and the outside world cannot provide a large amount of calories. At this time, their muscles will be frozen and become inactive.
And mice are a constant temperature animal that can move freely all year round. In winter, due to lack of food in the wild, mice will look for food everywhere to avoid freezing to death because they have no food to eat.
When they find a cave where snakes hide, they will enjoy the frozen snake as a delicious meal and enjoy it.
And this phenomenon is most common in winter every year in Snake Island in Dalian. The mice living above are said to be gnawed through the iron deck under their sharp teeth, let alone the frozen snake?
Snake eats rats, rats eats snakes, this is the mutual restraint between nature! Overall, nature is a magical place, and we must always be in awe of it.
