If the wild boars are placed on Dalian Snake Island, will the poisonous snakes be eliminated?

Speaking of wild boars, I believe everyone is familiar with them. As the saying goes, one pig, two bears, and three tigers. If you are the second in terms of harmful wild boars, no animal dares to be the first. It caused widespread heated discussion. They recklessly destroyed farmland, devoured crops, and even rushed into farmers' homes to kill livestock. Even experienced hunters and hounds couldn't do anything about them, causing panic all over the city. The reason why wild boars are very harmful to humans is not only because of their large numbers but more importantly because of their huge appetite.

I believe that my friends who have lived in rural areas have heard rumors like this more or less. Whether domestic pigs or wild boars, their stomach functions are particularly powerful, even if they eat poisonous snakes, they will not be poisoned, as if they were born with a hundred Poison does not invade, especially some wild boars that are native to the mountains, not only are they not afraid of poisonous snakes, they even often eat them, especially the five-step snake is the favorite of wild boars, so wild boars are also known as the few natural enemies of snakes. one. So are the rumors true? Let's talk about it today, why are wild boars not afraid of poisonous snakes, and how do they dare to eat snakes?

Wild boars, also known as mountain boars, are omnivorous medium-sized mammals that are widely distributed around the world. They are distributed in various regions of my country except for the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the desert Gobi, because of their strong adaptability, even if they are They can also survive in mountain forests, deserts, grasslands, and extremely cold areas at very high altitudes. Of course, as an omnivorous animal, the wild boar is never picky about its diet. It will eat almost everything that can be eaten, such as crops, fungi, fruits, bird eggs, carrion, and even snakes, insects, mice, ants, and other food that can be found. Especially when food is scarce in winter, wild boars will rummage through the soil, find plant roots and roots from the depths of the land, and some animals that have long been hibernating, such as snakes, have developed the habit of eating snakes over time.

The reason why they are not afraid of poisonous snake bites is mainly that wild boars are particularly rough-skinned and thick-skinned. As the saying goes, dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, especially wild boars. They live in harsh environments for a long time, and their skin and hair are thicker than domestic pigs. It can effectively defend against the bites of various snakes and insects so that ordinary snakes cannot bite it at all. Even if it is occasionally bitten by a poisonous snake, the powerful immune system in the wild boar can greatly resist poisonous snake toxins and greatly reduce the probability of death. Not only that, but wild boars also have very developed organ functions. Their stomachs have a strong self-healing and repairing function. It is rumored that the main reason why wild boars can eat all kinds of poisonous animals and plants without being poisoned is not only because of their strong resistance. , relying more on their terrifying stomachs.

According to legend, the "Compendium of Material Media" has recorded that the wild boar's stomach is very powerful, and it often swallows some poisonous snakes and poisonous Chinese herbal medicines as food. After each poisoning, decomposing the toxins will leave an irreparable black spot in the stomach. , The more riddled the pork belly, the more powerful its repairing ability is. Therefore, there is still a saying in the folk, called one pair of pig bellies and three medicines, the more scarred the wild pig belly, the more precious it is, because This just reflects its invulnerable characteristics. So our question is if a group of wild boars is placed on Dalian Snake Island, will the poisonous snakes on the island be wiped out? Before answering this question, let's take a look at which venomous snakes mainly live on Dalian Snake Island, how poisonous are they, and whether can they cause fatal damage to wind boars.

Dalian Snake Island is a small island located in the Bohemia Sea in the northwest of Lushness in my country. Despite the small area of ​​this small island, the total area is only more than 1,800 mu, but on this small island surrounded by water, it is There are tens of thousands of dreaded venomous snakes. When the researchers arrived here for the first time, they were all stunned by the sight here, because every square meter of land here is crammed with at least two poisonous snakes, so it was called "Snake Island". But the most surprising thing is that although this small island has a lot of plants, the number of creatures is very rare, and the poisonous snakes are not diverse all of them are the same kind of snake "black-bowed pit viper".

It is said that many people don't know much about black-bowed pit vipers, because they have a narrow distribution range and are hard to see in other areas. Mainly distributed in Shandong, Dalian, and Snake Island in my country. The black-bowed pit viper is short and stout, with a length of no more than 1 meter. Although we don't know the black-bowed pit viper, we are familiar with its "twin brother" the white-bowed pit viper. The white-bowed pit viper is what we often call the short-tailed pit viper. The venomous snake with the widest distribution and the largest number of injuries in my country is very similar to the black-bowed pit viper except for its white eyebrows.

Although the two look very similar, the black-bowed pit viper is far worse in terms of toxicity. It is not only inferior to the short-tailed pit viper but can even be said to be the bottom of the pit viper. In Weigh, Shandong, my country, there have been recorded cases of being bitten by the black-bowed pit viper, but it was rarely known because the toxicity was too weak and did not cause serious consequences. Later, according to relevant research, the toxicity test of the black-bowed pit viper was as follows: Peritoneal injection of LLD=2.65mg/Kg, it is at least five times weaker than the short-tailed pit viper, and the amount of detoxification is relatively small, so it is difficult to cause serious consequences. After the patient is poisoned, it usually only causes slight edema, and only in severe cases. It can lead to hemorrhage and ulceration, and the necrotic ability and legality are relatively general.

Therefore, the toxicity of the black-bowed pit viper is difficult for wild boars that dare to swallow the five-step snake. The pit viper comes to cause a devastating blow, and the wild boar has the habit of eating the roots of plants. If it is put here, I believe that Snake Island will cease to exist in a few years, so such a thing must never happen. Moreover, the black-bowed pit vipers here are not only harmless to humans, but their venom is of great benefit to humans. They can not only develop many drugs against diseases, but also maintain the ecological environment here, and achieve the benefits of killing two birds with one stone.
