The reason why snakes don't die after being cut off

Snake is a kind of aggressive reptile, so when you meet it, you must be careful! If the snake's head is cut off, it can still attack people! Then is the snake still alive after it is cut off? What's the matter? Let's take a look at it together with the small editor of sihai.com!

A mother in Texas recently found a poisonous snake in her garden. She had no knife on her hand, so she cut off the snake's head with a tree in a hurry. After that, the Viper was still writhing on the ground and seemed to open its mouth to attack.

It happened in a residential area in Sunnyvale when two little girls found a poisonous water viper (cottonmouth snake) in a flowerpot, and someone killed it with a tree cutter. It can be seen from the clip that the broken snake head twists and even opens its mouth to make a suspected attack. (this article is exclusively compiled by WYH, editor of sihai.com.

Why does the snake not die after being beheaded? What is the reason?

The beheaded snake has the ability to bite in a short period of time, but this is only their basic nerve reflex, which has nothing to do with revenge.

Not to mention whether the living snake has such advanced cognitive function as' revenge '. In the face of a just broken snake head, he may bite if he reaches his hand in front of it; if he gives it a branch, it may bite, if he gives it a steel pipe, it may also bite, even if he hands its own tail to it, it can also drop its mouth. So, it has nothing to do with revenge.

Reptiles like snakes have much wider nerve distribution in their whole body, that is to say, many actions can be done without the command of the brain, so even if the head is broken, the body can still twist for a few minutes or even hours; the advantage of slow cell metabolism is that even without blood supply, nerve cells can live for a long time. The survival of nerve cells is guaranteed. The severed snake head still has the basic nerve reflex ability of biting things and injecting venom.
