Snakes Have The Ability to Feel The Heartbeat of Their Prey
by Scientists found that the boa constrictor has the ability to feel the heartbeat of prey.
The discovery was revealed after scientists conducted experiments with a boa constrictor, a dead mouse and a fake heart made of bags filled with water and connected to a hose, a simulation of the heart and blood vessels.
False heart mounted on a dead rat. Furthermore, the scientists let the snakes prey on mice. In particular, false heartbeat can be turned off by remote control. To measure the pressure of powerful winding and snakes, scientists also put a sensor on a dead rat.
Scientists get the fact that the new boa constrictor off its prey when it is dead or heartbeat stops. When scientists defend the false heart beats longer, they found that the boa constrictor wrapped around too much longer.
Scott Boback from Dickinson College, University of Pennsylvania said, “During twisting, snake actually feel the heartbeat of its prey.”
He added, “Many of us who think that the snake was the murderer dare, do not have complex functions like those of higher vertebrates. We found the opposite and assume that this extraordinary sensitivity is the key to the success of the entire nation of snakes.”
Snakes need to feel the heart beat of prey for energy efficiency. When it knows the prey dies, coils loosened so that less energy is consumed.
