Chapter 821 lose

Unfortunately, although the Egyptian cobra is mighty, its opponent is not easy to deal with. It is the boss of the bird – the North African ostrich.

Birds, the envy of all people and animals who long to take to the skies.

Birds are the only animals on earth that truly qualify for free flight.

Not all birds are good aviators, but just like the famous chicken soup essay, when God closes the door, he must open the window.

“The ostrich is the largest of all birds, but it is a pity that the ostrich only lives in Africa, and its range of activities is too narrow. Otherwise, it will definitely win the title of a bird king.”

“They really can’t fly, but their combat power on land is completely comparable to that of a leopard!”

Bi Fang huddled behind the rock, watching a bird and a snake confront each other, and made a surprising speech before the fight started.

The audience was in an uproar.

[Fuck, is it true or false? Leopard? 】

[Fang Shen, are you kidding me? 】

[Isn’t this thing burying its head when it is in danger? scratching his head]

The ostrich has a large body and a thin neck, which is a great weakness no matter how you look at it.

Think about the image of the leopard in your mind again, I’m afraid it won’t bite off the neck in one bite, right?

How to fight this?

In the eyes of most ordinary people, cats have always been the ceiling of the animal kingdom’s combat power. Hearing Bi Fang’s words, he suddenly couldn’t accept it.

“You still don’t understand. The weight of a leopard is generally between one hundred and two hundred pounds, and the weight of an ostrich can reach more than 300 pounds! This has already won a lot.”

Big is good, big is strong.

This statement is not absolutely true in nature, but it is absolutely universal.

The height of an ostrich can reach 1.5 meters, which is equivalent to the height of a 14-year-old boy.

And its attack methods come from pecking at the rafters and long trampling grabs. In terms of hard power, the lethality of ostriches is no less than that of hyenas and wolves.

At the same time, regardless of the weight of the ostrich, this guy’s running speed is also the best in the animal world.

The fastest running speed can reach 70km/h. Only the running speed of cheetah, leopard and gazelle can match that of ostrich, and it can run so fast, and its strength is not weak. The most important thing is that it can run. A pair of long feet can cause powerful damage to the enemy.

In addition, the ostrich has a strong personality and is often not stimulated. It is a guy who has a vengeance and will often attack quickly when threatened. This is different from wild animals such as antelope and zebra, which is much stronger.

It can also be seen that the ostrich has its own strength to survive.

In terms of combat effectiveness on the territory of Africa, even a younger lioness is no match for an ostrich at all.

The ostrich’s condescending posture will cause certain suppression to the fighting lion. Therefore, the ostrich is also a member of the top of the African food chain, and its strength should not be underestimated.

Especially for reptiles and snakes, the ostrich is a god-like existence.

Because of this, there are a large number of reptiles on the ostrich’s diet, which naturally includes snakes, but it is relatively rare to take the initiative to deal with such a large cobra.

Bi Fang spoke out some of the characteristics of ostriches at a very fast speed. Under the list of facts, the audience had to be skeptical.

After all, the distance is far, and the ostrich photographed at this time has no specific reference, and there is no pressure on the body. It is normal to have such doubts.

[So, is the cobra lost? 】

[I feel hard to say, maybe it will overturn]

“It’s true, nature doesn’t have…” Bi Fang wanted to say something, but he quickly stopped talking and reminded the audience with a low drink, “Look, they’re fighting!”

The lens automatically zoomed in and focused, and the audience immediately stopped the barrage they wanted to send.

In the canyon, a bird and a snake that were still facing each other have changed from confrontation to mutual testing.

The most powerful weapon of the ostrich is its feet. The test is naturally a simple kick. Perhaps because of its strength, the audience couldn’t see the moment when it came out of its legs.

The Egyptian cobra is obviously a subspecies, with a dark body, mighty and domineering. It does not lose its momentum in the face of ostriches, but it is much shorter in size. Facing the temptation of ostriches, it can only move and retreat while looking for opportunities. Living in an ostrich, the frequency of spitting out letters is significantly faster.

Although he opened a pair of eyes, the cobra could not deny the fact that he was short-sighted.

All snakes are short-sighted, most snakes can only see things within 1 meter, and the eyeballs of snakes cannot move like the eyeballs of most animals, which leads to a very small visual range of snakes.

In addition, there is no fovea behind the eye of the snake, which is the most sensitive area for perception, so the snake not only cannot see things clearly, but also has a very poor ability to detect stationary objects.

This is only for most snakes. Although cobras are short-sighted, they are already considered good. Like some snakes in the snake family, they either live in water or in caves, and their vision deteriorates even more.

The blind hook snake lives underground all its life, and its eyes have degenerated into two black dots, with only weak light-sensing ability and almost no vision.

But cobras have a strong prey-hunting organ, the tongue, or snake letter.

“Snakes in the cobra family use snake letters to collect odor particles in the air, and use the odor particles to determine the location and type of prey.”

During the short confrontation, Bi Fang spoke quickly, and his voice was not consciously amplified.

He was also not afraid that ostriches and cobras would hear and scare away.

Once animals start hunting or fighting, their attention to the outside world is very low, especially stationary objects, as long as they don’t jump in front of them, they will basically not find them, and they will be defaulted to the natural environment.

For example, once the wolves start chasing the fleeing antelope, even if a motionless rabbit passes by, it will not attract their attention, but can escape by a yard.

Of course, if it moves, that’s another story.

After probing for dozens of seconds, the battle soon became fierce.

The ostrich was obviously a lot bolder and started to attack more frequently, but this also made the cobra see more clearly.

The audience couldn’t help holding their breath.

Finally, the ostrich’s attack hit the cobra’s tail, almost on the spot, and the cobra’s flesh exploded directly, spattering a pool of blood on the rocks beside it.

Is it over?

For snakes, most of the audience did not like it, and they didn’t feel anything bad when they saw that the cobra lost.

But in this matter, a mutation suddenly occurred!

The cobra, which was almost broken in half, jumped up suddenly, bit the neck of the ostrich that was about to bow its head to tear it, and then quickly wrapped around it!

Bi Fang couldn’t help but let out an exclamation.

Can this kill?

Looking at the remaining half of the ground, the tail of the snake that was still shaking, everyone felt a little ridiculous.

It is normal for an ostrich to kill a cobra, even if the Egyptian cobra is one of the most poisonous snakes in the world, and its size is extremely huge.

There is no small body in the cobra family, and it is highly venomous. It is a species with considerable advantages.

It’s more poisonous than it is, and it’s not as big as it is.

Larger than it, the venom is not as poisonous as it is.

The hunting objects of poisonous snakes are generally smaller creatures, and entanglement is rarely used, but no need does not mean no.

In the face of the ostrich, the seriously injured cobra obviously did not dare to be careless, and injected toxins crazily, wrapping the ostrich’s neck tightly, like a black scarf, but the scarf was very scary.

Bi Fang licked the corner of his mouth, excited in his heart. Although he was just watching the play, this rare counter-kill scene was extremely rare.

With such a long vision, it is difficult for a cobra to keep up with the attack speed of an ostrich. This time, if he can bite the key, it is a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.

As an explorer of nature, Bi Fang is also deeply involved in all kinds of animals and loves it very much. He is naturally happy to see such a scene.

“The neck of the ostrich is very fragile, because the neck of the ostrich, whether it is bone or muscle, focuses on flexibility and is not strong. The legs are very strong, and the muscles on the femur and fibula are abnormally developed.”

“If it bites the leg, it may be fine, but if it is the neck, the ostrich should not survive.”

“only……”

【Just what】

【Say it】

Bi Fang stared at the remaining half of the snake’s body on the ground, but it was not short at all, it was close to one-third, completely exceeding the scope of the tail.

“It’s also very difficult for this cobra to survive.”

“If only the tail is broken, the probability of surviving is still quite high, and there may be some disabilities, but now it is so long, it may have hurt the internal organs, coupled with the infection and deterioration of the natural environment…”

Even in animals, infection is quite fatal.

Almost before Bi Fang’s words were finished, the ostrich had already begun to react. At first, it was bitten, shaking its head frantically and flapping its wings, but it was all in vain.

With the venom so close to the head, the venom came into play very quickly, causing the ostrich to become dizzy, and finally fell on the lift, and the huge size even set off a puff of dust.

The cobra that fell to the ground didn’t stay too long. Almost after killing the ostrich, it didn’t even take the spoils. It immediately released its body and fled towards the outside of the canyon.

Only then did Bi Fang walk out from behind the boulder, looking at the bloodstains left on the ground, and shook his head.

The bloodstains are not long, and the snakes are muscular and have the ability to stop bleeding by themselves. Not to mention that the ground is full of gravel, and it also has a certain function of helping to stop bleeding after being contaminated.

The ostrich on the ground is still struggling, flapping its wings, but unfortunately it is no doubt that it has returned to the light.

With the cobra’s venom, it’s almost impossible for this huge ostrich to survive.

【Eye-opener】

【Pick up】

[I thought the ostrich would only bury its head in danger, but I didn’t expect it to be so fierce, although it died (dog head)]

“The ostrich is buried in this, it is actually a rumor.”

Bi Fang shook his head.

“Many people think that ostriches will bury their heads in the sand to escape danger when they are frightened. This leads to the saying ‘ostrich policy’, but this is not true.”

“The ostrich as a symbol of folly is recorded as early as the Bible’s “Old Testament”: ‘Are the ostrich’s wings fluttering with joy, are they the feathers and feathers of mercy? . . Give it to it. Whenever it rises up and spreads its wings, it laughs at horses and riders.'”

“However, the first person who wrote this rumor and explicitly described the behavior of the ostrich was the Roman thinker Pliny the Elder, who lived between 23 and 79 AD.”

“Pliny wrote in his natural history book that ostriches thought that when they poked their heads and necks into the bushes, their bodies also hid.”

“Although it’s similar, it’s a lot worse than burying one’s head. Later, I don’t know how it evolved into an ostrich by burying its head in the sand.”

“But this is completely impossible. Most of the bird’s nostrils are born at the base of the beak. Like kiwis, they can only rely on smell to find food. Birds whose nostrils are born at the front of the beak have to insert their nostrils into the mud to find food. After that, you have to spritz vigorously into the nostrils to remove debris that hinders breathing.”

“If you keep your head down, an ostrich will just suffocate.”

“As for the reason for this rumor, it is probably because the head of an ostrich is small compared to its body, so as long as the head of an ostrich is close to the ground, it may be mistaken for the head buried in the sand. It is easy to cause misunderstandings. ”

In fact, the first thing an ostrich does if it encounters an enemy is to run.

Although the ostrich belongs to the class of birds, it no longer has the ability to fly.

The bones of birds are thin and light, the long bones are filled with air, all the bone fragments of the skull are completely healed, the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, the sacral and coccygeal vertebrae are all healed together, and the sacral vertebrae and the left and right girdle are also healed together.

The ribs have hook-like protrusions that hook into each other to form a solid rib cage.

The flying bird also has a triangular keel on the sternum. In order to increase the attachment area of ​​the pectoral muscles and the vibrating wings of the two wings.

These unique structures of bird bones reduce weight and enhance their ability to support flight.

But the ostrich is obviously not like that.

As the largest modern bird in the world, the male ostrich is generally more than 2 meters tall and weighs about 150 pounds, but its feathers are soft.

The wings of ostriches have been specialized, and there are no hooks between the filaments of the feathers, so they cannot form a complete piece of feathers with flight function, so they can only stay on land.

If you don’t look carefully, you may even mistake it for no wings.

In addition, it has a flat sternum and underdeveloped chest muscles, but although they cannot be used to fly, their feathers still provide basic warmth and heat dissipation, and can also assist in changing direction when running.

Bi Fang squatted on the ground.

At this time, the ostrich was completely motionless, and he poked it with a tree stick, but there was no response.

Totally dead.

This also made Bi Fang feel at ease to reach out and touch the dead ostrich.

“Many wrong conclusions are caused by insufficient observation, and the ostrich is no exception.”

“They’ve been misunderstood for over 2,000 years, and even if more and more people know the truth, they can’t resist the widespread use of the saying ‘stupid as an ostrich’.”

“However, having said so much, maybe one day these sayings will become ‘strong as an ostrich’.”

Bi Fang smiled, paused, and then added

“If there were still ostriches then.”
