It can adapt to the extremely cruel living environment in the desert;

It has a wide range of diets and can obtain energy from all edible resources..... .

It is the flower snake.

We We know that in the nature of natural selection, most animals have the existence of natural enemies. Although with the changes of the times, some cats have stopped catching mice, but the mice who dare to challenge cats are rarely heard. In the face of natural enemies such as monitor lizards, the flower snake is the rat who dares to challenge!

Let's discuss the ultimate survival method of the flower snake together!

One, fearless

Although in the lizard recipes of the flower snake, there are generally only smaller species such as sand lizards and hemp lizards . Because its own body size is relatively small, the adult body is only about one meter long. Even so, they are fearless when they encounter a strong monitor lizard.

During the battle, the flower snake will try to wrap around the monitor lizard's body to block its limbs and bite its neck at the same time (it is almost non-toxic and wins by perseverance and endurance) . At this time, the monitor lizard can only bite the body of the flower snake, and then the two compete with each other.

Sometimes, they can fight for up to an hour and end up dead. But when it comes to younger monitor lizards, the snake has the upper hand; and when faced with monitor lizard parents, they are often unable to escape the enemy. Of course, in the way of survival of the flower snakes, there is no retreat at all, and it is their belief to continue fighting!

II. Self-reliance

In the desert, taking the Taklimakan Desert as an example, the high temperature in summer can reach 67.2℃ (the temperature of the sand surface can even reach 70-80℃), and the temperature in winter can reach 67.2℃. It can be as low as -20°C, and the environment is extremely dry throughout the year. One-third of the days are windy days, and sandstorms also occur frequently. Even so, flower snakes are self-reliant:

They are good at building burrows to withstand storms;

Their yellowish or earthy appearance is very desert-like, so they can hide Among them, wait for the opportunity;

They are not picky eaters, they use everything to survive! In their usual food, including various lizards, mice, insects and other small animals.

Comparatively speaking, some of the snakes living in the pastures on the edge of the desert are really happy! They don't have to work too hard to live well... Of course, they have also lost their ultimate pursuit of the way of survival.

Three. Value

The Flower Snake works so hard to survive, it can naturally find its own value! They not only belong to the national protected animals with research value, but also their gallbladder can be used as medicine to achieve the effects of clearing the lungs, cooling the liver, improving eyesight and detoxification.
