Do You Know Fact About Snakes ?

Snakes Have Great SuperPower...!


When a snake strikes, it moves so fast he could hit you four times in the space of an eyeblink. If a human being moved so fast they would lose consciousness

These snakes live largely solitary lives, hiding in ambush waiting for their next meal. It can be a long wait. If necessary, they can go for
two years without feeding, but when an opportunity arises, they are among the most deadly carnivores and most efficient in the world. And like all snakes, their first weapon is not the size or strength, but pure speed.

According to research published in March 2016, a snake average strike lasts somewhere between 44 and 70 milliseconds. To put this in perspective, we need humans around 200ms to blink an eye. At the same time, the most ruthless snake could theoretically have carried out four strikes.

It is almost inconceivable fast, and that means that snakes are much better to hit their prey that we are moving a part of our body. In fact, if we had to go to the sort of acceleration that snakes do, we would do it in black.

On one hand, they have a lot of muscles. The human body contains somewhere between 700 and 800 muscles. Snakes, even so small that they can sit on a coin, have between 10,000 and 15,000 muscles.

"The skull of a snake is incredibly kinetic and mobile," says Penning. "There are so many different joints that allow stretching and mobility. It could be that if one lands first part, it can absorb some shock before it transferred to another party, so the snake can absorb the impact of the strike much easier and he did not concuss.


Scientists are now trying to understand how the serpent skeletal and nervous systems behave in such extreme conditions. The goal is to use this knowledge to make us safer in scenarios where our own bodies could be exposed to large forces.
The idea of ​​snake attacks inspired us to design safer vehicles that do a better job of protecting us from the impact of collisions may sound a bit ridiculous. But the reality is closer than you might expect.
"We are trying to determine exactly what is happening on the impact when the snake hits its target," says Penning. "Snakes are able to launch their heads, stop, immediately remove to a defensive position, then repeat again and again and again. 

Snakes are a vital part of our eco-system helping to keep vermin under control and reducing disease and crop destruction. So don't kill snakes.

Save Animals, Save Earth
