This snake has its own strategy for each prey.

Scientist Terence Farrell at Stetson University and his colleagues studied how to hunt the Sistrulus miliarius , the snake family of the snake family . This snake has its own strategy for each prey.

With lizards, they lay still, wagging their tails as bait and waiting for the opportunity to attack. It is an ambush.

However, they actively pursue dangerous giant centipedes.

Cautious snake attacks the prey. They often hold their heads high, possibly to keep their eyes and organs aware of the smell out of danger, according to Farrell. Some even threw away and threw them into the far corner. After the attack, they waited longer for the venom to be absorbed than the lizard.

The centipedes' bite does not seem to affect the snake much. They knock down their prey and start enjoying it well.
