Scary secrets of snakes that until now science revealed

Scary snakes, but they work independently. The thing is, that's just what science doesn't know.

Snakes are one of the greatest terror of many of us. No need for venom, their "twisty" existence is enough to make many people lose their lives.

But it turns out, people still don't fully understand the scary nature of snakes. Recently, science has come to a conclusion that makes the "team afraid of snakes" want to faint: snakes can attack in groups.

In fact, perhaps many people have ever seen the solid scene gather in groups. However, when hunting is different, because science has never concluded that snakes can hunt together in groups , or attack prey in a competitive way. And now, the conclusion is made but no one wants to believe anymore.

The snakes have frozen, they also know how to work together.

The conclusion of this conclusion is Vladimir Dinets - a zoologist at the University of Tennessee (USA), during a trip to Desembarco del Granma National Park (Cuba) to observe Cuban snakes (Cuban boas - Chilabothrus angulifer) hunting bats.

Cuban snakes have a quite special way of hunting. They cower, curled up in openings in the ceiling, near the entrance area. They kept lying there and waited for the bat to pass by, until the opportunity appeared.

But there are times when lots of snakes gather at the same place. This phenomenon caused Dinets to ask questions, whether they cooperated with each other intentionally to trap more bats? If so, it would be a higher order, because hunting in the herd would require calculating the position of other individuals as well.

Within 16 hunts, Dinets found that whenever the snakes were hunting together, they chose a fixed location. That way, they easily form a solid wall, preventing any bad bats from flying by. Compared to solitary hunting snakes, the effect of coordination is much greater.

Whenever the snakes gather together, they choose a fixed location.

According to Dinets, with this result, it seems that at least 3,600 snake species in the world know how to hunt in combination with the flock. However, science is still unable to draw conclusions, because we understand too little about the snake's hunting behavior.

"It is possible that this behavior is very common in snakes, but we need more time to study before concluding," Dinets said.
