CATDOLL : CATDOLL: The centipede is known as the most poisonous of the five poisons, so why can’t it kill roosters?

There are many animals in the countryside that are not common in cities, such as the big roosters raised in farmers' homes and the centipedes growing outside the Yesai Bridge. Centipedes are highly poisonous animals, and people will hide away if they see them. The big rooster is the natural enemy of this animal. It is not afraid of the centipede's poison at all, but teases the centipede for fun. When it is tired of teasing, the rooster eats the centipede as a snack.

In fact, there are two reasons why the centipede's poison cannot kill the rooster. The first reason is that the rooster is covered with a thick layer of feathers, and the centipede's teeth used to inject venom are very short. When the centipede thinks it bites the rooster with its fangs, it actually only bites the feathers and does not bite the skin, so it cannot inject venom into its body.

Some people may ask, chicken claws are exposed, how can centipedes bite them? What you may not know is that chicken claws have a very hard cuticle, which the short fangs of centipedes cannot penetrate. The rooster will eventually eat the centipede, and then someone may wonder, the centipede itself has venom in its body, won't the rooster be poisoned to death if it eats it?

Everyone should know that the venom needs to enter the blood circulation system to be effective. The rooster's stomach contains digestive enzymes. When it swallows the centipede into its stomach, the digestive enzymes in the stomach will make the venom on the centipede inactive and then be directly digested. After reading this, everyone now knows why the centipede venom cannot kill the rooster. In fact, not only roosters can digest the venom, but our human body can also digest it, but the premise is that our digestive system is not ulcerated.

Why can't the five poisonous creatures, the centipede, kill the rooster? What's going on?

Roosters are known as one of the three bullies in the village. They are very competitive. You must have seen people fighting cocks to make money on TV. No matter what animal they are facing, they will face the challenge head-on. When you mention roosters, you will definitely think of centipedes, because they often fight. I still remember the scene of the angry rooster fighting the centipede in the Tomb Robbers' Chronicles I watched before. It was so thrilling!

Many people know that roosters are the nemesis of centipedes, but they don’t know the specific reason!

Centipedes are known as one of the five poisonous creatures, which also include centipedes, poisonous snakes, scorpions, spiders and toads. Their toxicity is certainly known to many people, and people are also very scared when they see these guys. Centipedes are usually seen, not to mention being afraid, just seeing so many legs crawling is panic! But the toxicity of centipedes has no effect on roosters. Why is that? Everyone knows that roosters attack with their claws and mouths. The reason why they can resist centipedes is that there is a particularly solid layer of keratin on the rooster's claws. It is difficult to penetrate, so the venom can't penetrate at all. Everything in the world is one thing against another. No matter what kind of creature it is, there is a nemesis, and centipedes are too small in front of the rooster's claws. The rooster claws down their little lives, and then peck at them with their sharp mouths, and they are broken into two halves!

Centipedes are poisonous, and being bitten by centipedes is very painful, but why can roosters eat centipedes without being poisoned? Let's first look at the centipede's venom. The main components of centipede venom are hemolytic protein and histamine-like substances, which are protein-type substances. Although centipedes have venom, it will only work when the venom enters the chicken's blood. However, when chickens eat centipedes, they usually peck the centipede to death before eating it.

Or the chicken may swallow the centipede directly in one bite, then store it in the crop and then digest it in the stomach. During the whole process, the centipede's venom does not enter the chicken's blood, so the centipede's venom naturally has no effect on the chicken.

In the biosphere, many animals are actually incompatible with each other, which means that roosters and centipedes are likely to be incompatible. So even if the silver fighting centipede releases its venom on the rooster, the rooster can easily neutralize it. This itself has no logic. No matter how poisonous the centipede is, as long as the rooster is its nemesis and natural enemy, it cannot defeat it.

Roosters are the natural enemies of centipedes: because roosters have thick feathers on their bodies and hard cuticles on their claws, the centipede's fangs cannot really bite the chicken's flesh and inject venom into its body, and after the rooster eats the centipede, its stomach can digest the centipede's venom. There is a saying in the countryside that when a rooster sees a centipede, it pecks at the centipede with its mouth, and the centipede is eaten by the rooster before it can bite the rooster.

There are still many natural enemies in nature that exist in a mutually exclusive relationship. The animals in the food chain have always existed in a mutually exclusive relationship. So if one of the animals is gone, the food chain may be disrupted, so this mutually exclusive relationship is actually very necessary.

The centipede's venom gland contains venom, which is injected into the prey through the mouth pincers. However, its venom is ineffective when taken orally, so it is not necessary to remove the venom glands when eating centipedes, whether it is other animals or humans. Centipede venom is a toxin released when centipedes sting humans and animals. Modern pharmacological research shows that centipedes also have anti-tumor, antispasmodic, antifungal and antidiabetic effects.

Centipede can also be used as a pharmacological material, it is also a very effective medicinal material. Centipede is a very common multi-legged animal in life. It looks scary, but in fact it has high medicinal value. For example, soaking centipede in wine can treat injuries, especially for blood stasis, swelling and pain. In addition, centipede can also play an antibacterial, anti-tumor, and immune-promoting role.

Therefore, the centipede is not just the leader of the five poisons, it still has certain functions. So everything actually has two sides, and we cannot blindly think that the centipede must be the leader of the five poisons with extremely toxicity. Of course, the saying that it cannot kill roosters is just a legend, and there is no scientific evidence to prove it, so this can only be considered as a guess.

Why can't the centipede beat the rooster? Hmm... (It's a bit disgusting with so many legs...) The editor thinks it should be a problem of the food chain, that is, the reason for "survival of the fittest". What does it mean? Survival of the fittest was said by Darwin, from Darwin's "Darwin's Theory of Species". Competition: the competition for survival of organisms; natural selection: natural selection. Survival of the fittest refers to the competition between species and within organisms, the struggle between species and nature, and the law of the jungle that those who can adapt to nature are selected to survive. Okay, but why can't it beat the rooster? Is the centipede too weak? Actually not? (High energy ahead)

Let's first introduce centipedes. Centipedes are terrestrial arthropods that have many segments, so they are multi-legged creatures. Centipedes are also known as dragons and centipedes. They are often seen in rural areas and like to live in dark and damp corners and under bricks. They are carnivorous animals with a wide range of diets and like to prey on insects. The toxicity of centipedes is not small, and serious poisoning can kill them.

Let's talk about roosters. They mainly feed on various insects and grains. Poultry is mainly eaten by people (awkward smile)

Why can't the centipede fight the rooster? As we all know, centipedes are poisonous. The toxin of the centipede comes from its pair of tentacles with hooks on the top. Once bitten, the toxin will be injected.

What about roosters? Rooster claws are not vegetarian. Domestic roosters have been digging for food in the fields since they were young, so they have developed a pair of iron claws. If you have eaten chicken claws, you will know that there is a layer of cuticle. The centipede's hook cannot penetrate that layer of cuticle, so the toxin is useless. Centipedes can't fly, so there is no way to kill them. Are you curious why it is okay to eat roosters? That's because roosters have livers similar to humans, and the function of the liver is to break down toxins and excrete them out of the body.

Everything has two sides, and centipedes are no exception. The Compendium of Materia Medica says: "Centipedes are found everywhere in the southwest. They come out in spring and hibernate in winter. They have legs and two whiskers and a forked tail." They usually have a long body and many pairs of legs. (It is written in the Compendium of Materia Medica) They must have medicinal value and can treat many diseases such as tetanus.

When I was a kid, I saw medicinal liquor soaked with centipedes at my neighbor’s house. The old people said it could cure some diseases. The centipedes soaked in glass jars looked very scary up close.

Here we can see that although the centipede's poison is very strong, it will still be defeated by the rooster, just like God opens a door for you and opens a window for you. So there is always a counter-attack in nature. If you have power, you will also be given a restraining character. It's just like the attribute restraint in the game.
