There are more than 20 thousand poisonous snakes, and they will never open! Where is this China Snake Island?

China is rich in various resources, with an endless coastline and various small islands scattered in the territorial sea. Some of them have formed people's settlements, and some have beautiful scenery, which have been specially developed into tourist islands by the jurisdiction. Of course, there are also many inaccessible places that are not suitable for human habitation due to special geographical and biological reasons. Today's protagonist is such an island. However, there is only one kind of animal snake on the island, which has now become a tourist attraction for human beings.

An island in Dalian is called Snake Island. I say this because there are many poisonous snakes living on this island. According to statistics, there are about 20,000 snakes. This number is so huge that tourists feel daunting.

This island is the "Xiaolongshan Island" located in Dalian, which is a national nature reserve. The island is rich in plant resources and snakes. The scenery on the island is extremely beautiful, and all kinds of strange sights often make tourists feel overwhelmed.

Although the island has beautiful scenery, many tourists are afraid to come. Everyone is afraid of poisonous snakes on the island. These poisonous snakes are completely different from what we usually know. They are not only highly toxic, but also good at camouflage. Their body color is very similar to the trunk, which is difficult for tourists to find. Once they find them, it will be too late.

The alias of this poisonous snake is the black-browed viper. These snakes are very fertile, so there are more and more poisonous snakes on this island. The state has specially protected the island and sent special personnel to guard it, because the venom of these snakes can be made into medicine, which has a good effect on many diseases of the human body.

Therefore, the country attaches great importance to this snake island and has been quietly protecting these poisonous snakes. Under the protection of people, these poisonous snakes live a life without competition. The only problem we face is drinking water. Because there is only sea water and no fresh water on the island, snakes die of thirst easily.

In order to solve this problem, the state specially sent people to transport fresh water to the island, and filled large pots with water and sent them to the island for drinking. Here, visitors can visit the life dynamics of these snakes and observe them at close range.

As we all know, snakes hibernate in winter. There are other characteristics of Agkistrodon halys, that is, summer sleep, which is inseparable from its food source. There are no other animals on the island. They can only eat in spring and autumn when migratory birds come to settle on the island. In order to reduce physical exertion, they have to learn to sleep in summer. Agkistrodon has another most important habit. You can not let it eat, but you must be very particular about drinking water. Can only drink fresh water. Because of the climate, the precipitation here is getting less and less, and the number of snakes continues to decrease. Later, the state established a protected area here, and now it provides artificial water for snakes.

Thanks to the efforts of the reserve administrator, the number of snakes on Snake Island began to return to normal, and now Snake Island has been opened to people. You can feel it when they hibernate or sleep in summer and see what the island is like. It is said that the environment is very good.
