It can be said that the use of poison and anti-poison between animals in nature is like a complicated war. Both prey and hunters must continuously improve their poison weapons or poison resistance. Typically between centipedes and snakes.

In nature, in order to survive, many animals have developed the ability to defend themselves with venom. They turn their bodies into a bag containing poisonous substances to attack both enemies and predators.

It is no coincidence that in the 5th month of the lunar calendar every year, at the end of Spring and beginning of Summer, people have created a very special traditional practice, which is to banish the “five poisons”.

Animals that, according to ancient people, are extremely toxic, include: Snakes, centipedes, scorpions, toads, and lizards. But lizards are not poisonous, so there are also opinions that should be replaced with lizards. spider webbing.

According to the Yellow Calendar (also known as the Lunar Calendar), May is also the transition between Spring and Summer, grass grows green, insects chirp, flies fly in flocks.

As for snakes, centipedes, toads, poisonous animals and insects that grow in humid environments, they also begin to thrive at this time.

This type of weather easily makes people feel uncomfortable, and also creates breeding conditions for disease-causing insects.

A short clip filmed in Guangzhou, China, has shown viewers an extremely fierce battle between a red-headed centipede on one side and a snake dozens of times larger than a centipede on the other.

Watching the clip, it can be seen that the centipede has a much more modest body shape than its opponent.

While the snake tried to find a way to kill its opponent, the centipede with a 20cm long black body, red head, and red beard was managing to flip the snake onto its back.

By the last 30 seconds of the clip, the arthropod seems to have won, but has not yet loosened its grip.

Despite the snake’s efforts, it seems that the centipede’s venom gradually exhausted it and it had to accept the tragic end.

According to scientists, the centipede’s venom can defeat an opponent 15 times larger than itself thanks to the mechanism that causes the victim to convulse.

That poison is known as “Ssm Spooky Toxin”, which can wreak havoc on the victim’s cardiovascular, respiratory and nervous systems.

When threatened, centipedes use a variety of strategies to defend themselves. Large tropical centipedes do not hesitate to attack and can cause pain. Rock centipedes use their long hind legs to throw sticky substances at their enemies.

Centipedes that live in soil are usually defenseless. Instead, they curl up into a ball to protect themselves. House centipedes choose to run quickly when attacked.
