The sight of the centipede dead rare and scary snake.

It is still known that this centipede of the Scolopendrid group not only hunts small insects, but they also 'flesh' even small vertebrates. Once, scientists caught a centipede that could reach up to 10cm long to ferret the rabbit to catch baby rabbits, eat lizard meat, bats and sometimes even birds.

Biologists believe that this centipede is an opportunistic predator - it is easy to see what to eat, but it does not purposely stalk the species with large spine. This assertion still makes us a little afraid: they can completely eat larger species more cruel, they just don't like it. Besides, the sight of centipede dead snake is equally rare and scary.

'When discovered, the centipede was then wrapped around the snake, attacking when the snake was laying eggs and had already delivered three fruits, probably still two more still in the snake's body,' reported Scientific reports stated.

Thai researchers did not interfere with this attack, nor were they allowed: let nature. They captured a lot of photos, helping to identify the species of centipedes and snakes.

They concluded that based on previous observations and reports, it was possible to assume that this giant centipede eats many things other than insects, because the abundance of nutrients from snakes and from toads will far more crickets, the beetle wives; This encounter confirmed that. This is also the case where the snake is laying eggs and the first attack is recorded.

This study was published in the Journal of Insect Behavior.
