When it comes to pigs and snakes, I believe everyone is familiar with them. People who live in cities may not have seen many of them, but in rural areas, many people may have seen them in their old lives. There is a saying that is often circulated among them: "Pigs are the nemesis of snakes!" Many young friends don't believe this, because in the eyes of ordinary people, pigs are stupid, and snakes are very vicious, so they must be snakes. Better than a pig, but is this old saying true?

Pigs are divided into domestic pigs and wild boars. I used to raise pigs at home when I was a child, and snakes were often seen running around to steal food in the mountain villages. Basically, I never saw any conflict between pigs and snakes. , they all care about their own things. For example, when a pig is eating, even if it sees a snake passing by, it will not feel anything strange and will not pay attention to it, letting the snake walk freely, while the snake sees the pig It's the same thing. Once, the neighbor next door killed a snake in the field, and then put the snake into the pig pen and fed it to the pigs. Who knew that the pigs didn't even look at it and had no appetite at all, but then the neighbor took the snake away. After being roasted over fire and then thrown into the pig pen, the scene was completely different. As soon as all the pigs in the pig pen smelled the roasted smell, they immediately swarmed up and grabbed the food. From this inference, these domestic pigs After being kept in captivity, it has lost its wild nature. If there is enough food, the snake and the snake will definitely be like two strangers and will not disturb each other.

There is also what the old man said, "Pigs are the nemesis of snakes." I think it refers to wild boars, because wild boars are really the nemesis of snakes. There is no doubt about this. I should have seen it many times before. , one time I went up the mountain to collect plants, and I saw a wild boar not far away looking for something in the grass. Then I saw a big five-step snake scurrying out from the grass, and I saw the wild boar rushing towards me. He went up, stepped on the neck of the five-step snake with his front hooves, and then without saying a word, he started to eat the delicious prey he had caught. After a while, the five-step snake only had 4 points left. 1 body.

So the old man often said that "the pig is the nemesis of the snake" must refer to the wild boar.
