Rare photo: Snake eel emerges from the belly of the vulture, but it flies calmly, what's the situation?

"Natural selection for the survival of the fittest", whether it is human society or nature, competition is cruel. All species in nature and within species have to compete with each other, and only the most powerful can win and finally be selected to stay. After the defeat in the Sino-Japanese War in the late Qing Dynasty, the Chinese nation finally realized that standing in the forest of the world had reached the most critical juncture. A group of people of insight also began to open their eyes to see the world, and were the first to spread new ideas. Huxley's "Evolution and Ethics" had a huge impact on society after being translated by translator Yan Fu. The concept of "natural selection, survival of the fittest" greatly shocked people's hearts and greatly promoted the enlightenment of thinking at that time. Even the familiar Hu Shi was named because he was deeply shocked after reading this book, so he took the word "Shi" as his name.

Just to survive, each species can only choose to fight and fight hard. The instinct to survive is engraved in our DNA, so that we will not give up the hope of living until the last moment. An American photographer once captured such a rare page, a snake eel emerged from the stomach of a flying vulture, which belongs to a survival war between the snake eel and the vulture. What kind of battle story happened between them?

The instinct to survive

In fact, the will to survive of most creatures is far stronger than we think, especially in some wild animals. In the novel "Wolf Totem", there is such a picture. The back half of a wolf is gone, and the intestines in the body are exposed. That's it, the wolf did not stop eating, and things entered from its mouth. It flows directly from the broken intestine. The survival instinct allows it to stubbornly eat even in this situation. Such vitality is indeed shocking.

This is not just a fiction of the novel, in fact, there are indeed many creatures in nature that show the value of vitality. Someone once captured such a scene. A spotted hyena, known as the second brother of Africa, was caught by an African male lion. It also faced the same situation. The entire hind limbs were bitten off, but it still only survived. His forelimbs continued to try to escape, fighting with the male lion. Although it failed in the end, this desire to survive is also admirable.

The war for survival

Wolves eat sheep, sheep eat grass, this is the law of nature. Every species has to eat and compete in order to survive. The battle for survival between species never ceases, and only the most suitable species will survive in the end. A photographer in the United States named Sam Davis took such a breathtaking photo. In the photo, a vulture is flying in the sky, and if you look closely, you can find a snake wrapped around it. The scary thing is that the snake didn't hang on it, but came out of its stomach. The photographer was also very suspicious of this strange sight, so he tracked the vulture for a while. He found that the vulture was not bothered too much by the foreign object on his body, and was still flying steadily all the way.

A long piece of snake eel emerged from the belly of the goblin. This snake eel is dead, but it will stay in the goblin for a long time until the goblin dies. Knowing the origins of these two animals, we can see what happened between them. Vultures will prey on some water creatures, and snake eels are one of their prey. But snake eels have one feature, that is, they are extremely vigorous. After they are swallowed into the stomach, they will not be quickly killed by stomach acid and anaerobic environment. On the contrary, they will struggle to the death. So there is the scene we saw in our photos. After the goblin swallowed a snake eel alive, the snake eel bit through the goblin's body and got out of it, but did not escape completely, and eventually died.

This is a wonderful duel between the goblin and the snake eel. The goblin has to prey in order to survive. The snake eel has to escape even if there is a chance. Half Snake Eel. The snake eel did not escape successfully, but it also left irreversible damage to the goblin, and the goblin would die from this wound soon. In the end, they both lost in this duel, but their struggle to survive and their tenacious vitality are still moving.

Epilogue

This kind of struggle in nature is ruthless. Often it is either you die or I live. In order to survive, creatures can also burst into unlimited potential. Whether it is a vulture or a snake eel, they have instinctively worked hard to survive. Looking at the picture of the long snake still flying in the wind on the bird, we should not only sigh about the tenacity of vitality, but also learn to cherish our own life more. Even in the most critical situation, one should not give up hope of life, and it may be possible to create infinite possibilities.
