The half-breed is said to have 9 nostrils, but that's nothing compared to this 20 'nosed' creature

Nua is the name of a creature handed down in folklore and described by forest people.

Nua is the name of a creature handed down in folklore and described by forest people. However, there is no video or exact picture of this creature. Until now, people still don't really know exactly what kind of creature it is.

Thus, like the cobra, the scorpion is just a product of word of mouth and is not real (at least for now) because no one has caught or photographed them for authenticity. But about the characteristics of 9 nostrils of the other half, it is not too hard to believe.

In fact, most pythons have two main nostrils and so many heat cavities that people with no knowledge of snakes or pythons will think that these are their nostrils. Among python species, the green tree python (scientific name: Morelia viridis) also has an impressive number of nostrils.

The shark has an extremely impressive number of nostrils.

The green tree python is a species of python that possesses a magical beauty, so it is a very popular pet. Like other python species, the green tree python is not venomous. However, their teeth are very long and sharp like the stinging fangs of venomous snakes.

Therefore, the bite left by this python species can be much more painful than other python species (see photo below). These teeth point inward to help the python grasp and hold its prey, and make it easier for them to swallow prey.

The teeth of tree pythons look like fangs that inject the venom of many poisonous snakes.

The tree python is native to New Guinea, a few islands in Indonesia and the Cape York Peninsula (Australia). The size of this python is about 2 m, the mass is 1.6 kg when mature, the female is usually larger and heavier than the male (sexual dimorphism).

As the name suggests, green tree pythons live mainly on trees. They hunt small mammals and reptiles by ambush. With green color mixed with leaves, this python can camouflage very well in the wild.

Green tree pythons only have two nostrils to breathe, but their heat pits are many. These cavities help pythons sense the temperature of their surroundings and search for prey. Some pit viper species also have these thermal cavities.

Green tree pythons have up to 9 heat cavities on each side. Thus, if counting both nostrils, this python species has up to 20 "noses". Not only green tree pythons but other python species also have more or less these heat holes, so the fact that the half-breed has 9 nostrils is not too mythical.
