“Oh shit food? Attack! What he’s biting me? Better bite harder. AAHHH HE’S BITING HARDER”
The rodent is like “well, not what I had in mind but all right.”
I can’t believe after millions of years of evolution snakes still eat themselves.
Well, if the snake manages to reproduce, then eats itself, the genes for eating yourself after reproduction get passed on.
TLDR: you actions have a must smaller effect on evolution after you have reproduced successfully.
Can someone knowledgeable please explain to me why snakes don’t realize they’re biting themselves when this happens?
Also, related question: why do dogs sometimes bite their own tails and hind feet as though they’re foreign entities?
I’m not knowledgeable about this, but here’s my uneducated guess:
They might just think it’s the prey biting back. Snakes generally have poor eyesight (of course, there are differences between species). And they’re so focused on the jump to catch their prey and subdue them as quickly as possible that they just bite down and kinda hope for the best for a bit before they realize.
I’m so confused why it’s marked as NSFW.
People feel sorry for mice and such videos are considered shocking content
But that’s not a mouse.
Edit: thats guinea pig, maybe 3 months, possibly younger. It’s not a mouse, it’s a bebby
