Liu Wei: "We mainly mention the two speeds of the poisonous snake here, attack speed and movement speed.

I won’t talk about the attack speed anymore. Among the Viper family, its performance is quite satisfactory.

Mainly talking about its moving speed, in the documentary "The Deadly Black Mamba" and many domestic online encyclopedias, it is called the fastest venomous snake in the world.

Long-distance activities can reach 16kmh, and short-distance sprints can exceed 20kmh.

What is this concept?

A simple calculation can show that if a black mamba snake is placed on a 400-meter track and field, the sprint distance can be measured.

It takes 13 seconds to cover 50 meters at top speed.

Everyone should have taken the physical education test of the high school entrance examination. Please tell us your physical education scores of the high school entrance examination! "

"I only have 100 meters in just over thirteen seconds!"

"The little fat guy who weighs 150 pounds said he can run 50 meters in 13 seconds!"

"That's it? The fastest venomous snake in the world?"

"No way! This is too slow!"

Liu Wei smiled and said: "The authenticity of these data has yet to be verified. British scientists have personally conducted experiments and recorded the short-distance sprint speed of a black mamba snake when it was completely irritated. It can only reach 11kmh, even with physical strength. With plenty of power and full power, it is impossible to exceed the speed of 16kmh.

In nature, most land creatures move faster than it.

In the large family of venomous snakes, they are indeed the best, but we all know that the deadly weapon of venomous snakes is their venom.

Movement speed may only play a certain role in chasing prey and escaping.

This also determines the difference in hunting conditions between the black mamba and other venomous snakes of the cobra family.

In the black mamba's diet, 81.48% are mammals and 14.81% are birds. It is better at catching smaller prey.

When the black mamba hunts, it will identify the strength of the prey. If it is a weak prey, it will kill it in one bite until the venom takes effect and the prey suffocates to death, and then swallows the prey directly.

If the prey is strong, it will bite the prey and release its mouth, wait for the venom to act, rely on its own movement speed to track the prey, and then swallow it.

From what I have seen, the speed boasted in the documentary does not perform too well in actual combat! "

Liu Wei lowered his head and glanced at the black mamba in his hand, "Some people usually compare it with the king cobra, one is known as the largest and longest venomous snake in the world, and the other is known as the second longest venomous snake in the world.

This meaningless comparison refers to the danger of the Black Mamba to a certain extent.

The king cobra we caught in the Yunnan rainforest was over 4 meters long. The longest known confirmed king cobra is 4.71 meters long. King cobras over four meters are not very common.

But there are quite a few. It can be said that they are more than three meters tall and can be seen everywhere.

The longest confirmed length of the black mamba is 4.31 meters, and only a handful of individuals over four meters have been discovered by humans. Even those over three meters are difficult to see, and most of them are between 2.3 and 2.9 meters. I The one I have is about 2.7 meters long.

Judging from the length alone, the King Cobra has already surpassed it by a length, not to mention the thickness of the body, the Black Mamba and the King Cobra are not players of the same weight class at all! "

"In my eyes, the King Cobra will always be the boss of poisonous snakes!"

"I like kc too!"

"If it weren't for the boss, I wouldn't know about the Black Mamba!"

"Anchor, there's no need to belittle me! You said Black Mamba is worthless!"

Still, many viewers questioned Liu Wei's professionalism.

Liu Wei smiled lightly and said: "Next let's take a look at its fatality rate. Data shows that among the seven bite cases of black mamba snakes, all seven patients died, and the fatality rate is as high as 100%.

Sound scary? The fatality rate is higher than that of the inland Taipan snake, the world's most venomous snake!

But what I must say is that the fatality rate is closely related to the number of bite cases. Calculating only seven fatal cases is very one-sided. In fact, there are many more black mamba bite cases.

In addition, I don’t need to mention the medical conditions in Africa. I want to be clearer than everyone else. In addition, the indigenous people of Africa have no awareness of protection in this regard. It is easy for death cases to occur. After many people are bitten by a black mamba, they either regard it as an accident. For minor injuries, you can either ask the wizard in the tribe to bandage them casually to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.

To give a practical example, there was a black mamba bite incident in Tanzania. The patient did not go to a local hospital with better medical conditions for treatment 18 hours after being bitten, and finally died.

On the one hand, I can only admire the physical fitness of this black uncle for being able to carry it for so long. On the other hand, it shows their lack of crisis awareness in the snake bite incident.

Therefore, the high fatality rate of black mamba snakes deserves further study! "

Many viewers made a sound of approval.

Liu Wei's analysis is very objective.

The size of the probability is closely related to the size of the base. The larger the base, no matter how strong the strength is, the probability cannot reach 100%.

Audiences who play Honor of Kings understand this well.

While the audience was discussing, Liu Wei took out the poison cup and without hesitation, brought it directly to the mouth of the black mamba snake. "Its fangs are very fragile. I need to be gentle to avoid hurting it!"

The black mamba snake did not appreciate Liu Wei's gentleness. It was still very angry and bit through the film of the poison cup. The venom was discharged very quickly.

But not as much as imagined.

Liu Wei shook the poison cup in his hand, "The amount of detoxification the black mamba snake is actually very scary, basically above 100mg, and the highest can exceed 400mg. However, it has a habit of not detoxifying all at once." After the row is completed, it is conducive to launching multiple attacks on the prey.

Now let me give you a detailed introduction to the venom of the black mamba snake. Is it as scary as many viewers think?

First of all, the venom component. The iconic toxin of the venom of the cobra family is neurotoxin. The Mamba family has a special neurotoxin, dendrotoxic neurotoxin. This toxin accounts for a very large proportion of the venom of the black mamba, but its toxicity is not Not Powerful.

It is precisely because of this that the venom effect of the Black Mamba is reduced.

Its subcutaneous ld50 value can only reach 0.25mgkg at its best, and its normal performance is 0.3mgkg. In terms of toxicity, the inland Taipan snake is ten times more toxic.

The half fatality rate is reflected in the known venomous snakes, and the black mamba cannot even make it into the top twenty.

Let’s compare it with the venom of poisonous snakes that we have popularized before. The venom of many poisonous snakes will be buffed, causing serious additional damage to the human body, such as coagulation, bleeding, etc.

However, the venom of black mamba lacks bleeding and coagulation activity, almost no lipase activity, and very low protease activity, which means that black mamba has no additional ingredients to enhance the power of venom and can only rely on the venom toxin itself.

In comparison, it has lost to many venomous snake bosses.

but……"

Liu Wei showed an incredible smile.

"I knew there was a twist!"

"Although the documentary is exaggerated, it's not so weak!"

“I just want to hear but!”

"But it can still kill people easily!"

Liu Weidao: "The venom of the black mamba also has advantages that other venomous snakes do not have!"
