I can't believe after millions of years of evolution snakes still eat themselves.
Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 10 months ago
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.

Thanks for the tldr, your first sentance was rather cumbersome.

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.

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?
M137@lemm.ee 10 months ago
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.

Wait so did it just fucking kill itself then

I read that snakes are not very sensitive to their venom. It will probably just be a painful nuisance for her.

The way it’s twisting I’d assume it’s a constrictor so probably not venomous. I’m no snakologist though.

Nah, these noodles mainly use strangulation to kill their prey, they just strike it first to get it in close- it just needs to detach itself from itself and it will be okay

Snek: “this guy’s good! He is handling my best attacks”!

Poor cavy is too little to understand that it is in mortal peril. I bet it still thinks the snake is a friend.
