The "dancing" piece of meat made many people panic.

​Many social media users commented that they were really horrified when they watched this video. Others note that this is nothing to be afraid of. They explained that the whole point is that the nerves in raw meat remain active for a while.

To explain this, scientists believe that this is simply a phenomenon of nerve spasm in freshly slaughtered animals . According to Lv Suwen - a Chinese zoology expert, after being slaughtered - the central nervous system of the animal must have died.

However, at the end of the slaughter, the other nerve bundles are still not completely dead. Therefore, when there is a temperature difference, the muscles on the piece of meat can contract, creating the phenomenon of "dancing meat" that causes many people to lose their hearts. This phenomenon will stop after a short time - from a few tens of minutes to an hour later.
