And why vipers do not have to be completely destroyed?

The question of why vipers need not be completely destroyed, has a simple answer: because the development of science and technology does not yet allow mankind to create complex organisms, such as all living things on the planet, including snakes. Only one of the vertebrae in the skeleton of this animal is from 141 to 450, and the brain , extended along the body, allows the brain to move with lightning speed in the desired direction. Snakes come to know the world around them with the help of the amazing body of Jacobson, which is one of the most perfect chemical analyzers. Some species have thermal locators, which allow them to collect heat from a distance. Humanity has only invented a thermal imager in the 20th century, and snakes have used it for millions of years.

Experts know why vipers do not have to be completely destroyed. They are guided by the fact that these dangerous because of the venom of the snake are in fact not widely distributed. A concentrated amount of these reptiles can be observed in marshy areas, in places where there are many rodents, which are the main food of vipers. If, for example, there is no strong swampiness on your site, a heap of branches and debris, and no mouse is found, then the probability of encountering a snake is reduced almost to zero. Gardeners recommend planting garlic, the smell of which is unpleasant for vipers, to have a cat, not to expel hedgehogs, which are the natural enemies of snakes. And outside the garden, snakes are natural bioregulators, which is why vipers do not have to be completely destroyed.

Like most living things, snakes avoid meeting a person. They even have a special coloration, which allows them to effectively disguise themselves. Therefore, bites are possible when a person attacks or manifests aggressiveness. Poison to the animal is needed for hunting, therefore, for the food of the snake will not waste it in vain. If the viper is seen before it is curled into a ring for a throw (it can be rushed to a distance of a meter), then you can simply bypass it, and everyone will go about their business. In this case, the snake itself can become a lunch for an owl, stork, ferret, fox or badger, which is another reason why vipers do not have to be completely destroyed.

On the territory of Russia, the commonest viper is most common, which can be brown, black, greenish or bluish. With other species of this group, snakes can "meet" while traveling to other countries. For example, in Ceylon, in Thailand there is Russell's viper, which can be distinguished by a triangular head and a two-meter length. This animal is quite aggressive and fast, which creates the prerequisites for an immediate attack, if it occurs.

The sand viper is found in the sandy terrain, against which it is perfectly camouflaged. The snake can be found in Iran, Algeria, Western Europe and Asia Minor. In Russia, it lives in the Caucasus. In its diet includes rodents, small birds, lizards. A full-grown animal does not show aggression unless it is provoked. Often it is immobile in the sun for hours.
