We can call this a once-in-a-hundred-year war.

Reptiles have been on our planet about 300 million years ago. To this day, many reptiles still exist such as snakes, pythons, lizards or crocodiles.

In a new study published in Nature Magazine, a group of international wildlife conservationists have warned of a worrying situation in their work.

Accordingly, up to 1/5 of reptile species, including crocodiles and snakes, are being abandoned by animal conservation programs to the point of being threatened with extinction.

The reason is because too few people care about these reptiles. They are both ugly and often bite people, so they do not receive public sympathy.

As a result, more than 1,800 of them have fallen into the list of threatened extinction. 31 species have disappeared forever. Scientists suspect that there are species of snakes and crocodiles that became extinct before they were even known to humans.

Although data shows the endangered status of reptiles, in the wild, there are many cases where they kill each other. The life-or-death battle between a mighty crocodile and one of the most dangerous snakes in the world has been captured on video.

The white object that Rishani saw from afar turned out to be a Russell’s Pit Viper snake.

Ms. Rishani Gunasinghe, an expert in the field of technology, during a trip to Yala National Park, Sri Lanka, was the person chosen to witness the entire incident.

That day, Ms. Rishani’s group of guests was traveling on the road when they came across a small lake.

Despite being warned that this place is very difficult to navigate, most Jeeps bypassed this place and continued on. However, knowing that this was the home of a group of crocodiles, the group of tourists still decided to turn in.

Suddenly, Rishani saw a white object that seemed small but was moving. This object made everyone pay attention and come closer to explore.

Although the crocodile actively attacked, the crocodile still encountered countless difficulties.

Immediately afterwards, a large crocodile emerged from the water, holding the white object in its mouth and revealing the image of a poisonous Russell’s Pit Viper.

According to scientists, Russell’s Pit Viper is known as one of the “Four Great Venoms”, the culprit responsible for thousands of deaths each year in Southeast Asia and causing many victims to suffer. into a condition that changes the body from an adult to that of a child.

Each time it attacks, this snake can inject 40-70 mg of poison, causing the victim’s blood to turn into a substance with a thick viscous film.

After that, the victim will die, and if he is lucky enough to survive, he will become a pre-pubescent child.

The throwing and tit-for-tat actions of the two reptiles are extremely attractive.

Seeing the poisonous snake, Rishani was extremely excited. She said: “Seeing a Russell’s Pit Viper in the wild is truly an exciting thing.

However, at the same time, seeing the largest crocodile ever is an impossible thing.” I can’t believe it. The crocodile’s twists and turns as he tries to defeat his opponent are extremely impressive. This is definitely a performance that can only be seen once in a lifetime.”

In the end, the crocodile was the only one left standing.
