Why do some people say: snakes eat eels and die! Because eel likes to drill around?

Part of the reason is that Monopterus albus likes to drill in disorder, but more reason is that Monopterus albus can survive in animals for a period of time, while snakes can't chew and eat directly. After living in a snake, as long as it has the ability to attack, it is dangerous for the snake. Monopterus albus is just one of these animals. Specifically, from the correlation between the living environment of Monopterus albus and the digestive glands of snakes:

First, the bones of Monopterus albus are similar to those of snakes, and they will not be unable to move because they are inside the snakes.

Monopterus albus is a triangular bone, and its bone structure is relatively stable. Monopterus albus' bones are closely connected and will not be out of touch because of too frequent sliding. This body structure is somewhat similar to that of a snake, but because there is a gap in the snake's skeleton, the snake will be in a stiff state in an instant collision. In this state, the snake cannot secrete gastric acid, so the swallowed eel can move, but the snake cannot.

Moreover, Monopterus albus is afraid of heat. When the temperature is above 30 degrees, it will be extremely irritable, and then it will run around. Although snakes are warm animals, their body temperature is still 30-32 degrees. Therefore, the snake is the critical point of eel body temperature. After it is swallowed, it will wander around. As long as the eel is not too old, it is not difficult to drill through the snake skin.

Secondly, the respiratory system of Monopterus albus is different from that of ordinary aquatic animals. It doesn't need gills to breathe.

Although Monopterus albus has gills, its gill function is degraded, and its breathing depends on auxiliary functions, and it also breathes with epidermis, so it can still survive even in a space with little oxygen and will not die immediately after being swallowed by snakes. The peak time for a snake to digest a food is 20 hours after eating, and then it will secrete a lot of digestive juice, because its general practice is to suffocate its prey in the snake pit before digesting it.

Ordinary birds, frogs and other foods are safe for snakes, and so are other snakes. Inexperienced snakes, of course, will not warn of the danger of eel, which is similar to snakes. Because it is not digested immediately, Monopterus albus will make waves in the snake and even start looking for its food.

3. Monopterus albus doesn't stay in an environment for a long time, because it needs foraging, and this cycle is about 12 hour.

Monopterus albus feeds on scavengers, including animal viscera, carrion and so on. After entering the snake, Monopterus albus even saves foraging, as long as it opens its mouth, it is food, but everything in the snake is soft, like some fluff and wrinkles on the digestive wall, which is tantamount to cutting in the eyes of Monopterus albus. Just the entrance!

Monopterus albus may get scared when it meets a snake outside. After all, it can be swallowed by itself, but after swallowing it, it will be found that it is a capitalized ingredient, which can only be swallowed and cannot be chewed. What are you afraid of? If it is too big, it will drill through the skin!

Therefore, if a snake eats Monopterus albus, the snake will not die or be seriously injured. It's not just the ricefield eel that can drill in disorder, but it may also eat in reverse.
