There is an old saying in the countryside that "snakes eat eels and die". What is the rationality of this statement?

We all know that there is an allegorical saying in the countryside that snakes eat eels-they want to die.

The wisdom of our ancient people is embodied in all aspects. From this two-part allegorical saying, we can know. Why can't hands eat eels? First and foremost, when an eel dies, its whole body will be in a stiff state. And the food you usually eat is swallowed whole and then digested in your stomach.

If a snake eats Monopterus albus, Monopterus albus will be in a stiff state in her stomach, which will not only be indigestible, but will do some harm to his various organs. As we all know, snakes belong to cartilaginous animals. When Monopterus albus is stiff, it will be equivalent to a sword and stab the snake's body. In this case, instead of filling his stomach, he gave his life away.

Besides, we also know that Monopterus albus is very good at swimming. Although it is said that snakes swim faster in water, if two people compete, it is really neck and neck. If an extremely evil snake catches an eel, he may not win. Well, he's already evil and lacks strength. Monopterus albus is a desperate swimmer, so he may not be able to catch Monopterus albus, so he won't starve to death.

As we all know, snakes and Monopterus albus are similar in appearance, but snakes can be carried out on land and water. Take Monopterus albus as an example. It seems that they can only stay in the water. In order to protect themselves, Monopterus albus is constantly evolving. Monopterus albus is also very camouflage in water. Monopterus albus may not be found in water, so for a snake that wants to eat Monopterus albus, he is really dying.
