But in reality, different species have evolved distinct fang positions, strike speeds, and venom-delivery techniques. Now, scientists have captured these rapid attacks in stunning slow motion, allowing them to determine exactly what happens when a snake strikes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RHwf7Y9LAnM?si=APpcAboVlNCWUhC0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A typical snake strike lasts less than 100 milliseconds, far too quick for the human eye to perceive. Using two high-speed cameras recording at 1,000 frames per second, researchers have now filmed bites in extraordinary detail. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The study analyzed 36 species of venomous snakes from three families to understand how each one delivers its venom<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. The three families are the <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">vipers, elapids (including cobras and mambas), and colubrids (a diverse group that includes both non-venomous species and deadly <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">species like the boomslang)<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Better technology<\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The idea of using high-speed cameras to study snake strikes isn\u2019t new. Researchers have been doing it since the 1950s. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> advances in technology now <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">allow<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> much higher resolution and detail<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span> <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Most previous studies have only used a single side-view camera and focused on differences within a single species, such as the differences in bites when it serves as<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0a defense mechanism compared to biting prey.<\/span> <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.biologists.com\/jeb\/article\/228\/20\/jeb250347\/369412\/Kinematics-of-strikes-in-venomous-snakes\">new study<\/a> compares <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">snake<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> strikes between species.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s9Eev3Ev1mU?si=2c_24RAZdw_g9CJK\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">All 36 species <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">were filmed<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> under identical conditions. Inside a small arena, <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">snakes were presented<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> with a warm cylinder of medical gel. Heated to 38\u02daC, it closely resembles the temperature and texture of mammalian tissue. Each strike <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">was captured<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> using two cameras. Using the frames from both cameras, the team reconstructed each strike in 3D. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> meant they could measure jaw movement, strike speed, and how the fangs functioned for each species. In total, the researchers recorded 108 high-speed videos, <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">three per<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> species.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Cobras strike the most slowly<\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Elapids <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">struck<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> the slowest. That&#8217;s not surprising, considering how mongooses can prey on cobras, nimbly evading their strikes, but are helpless against the much faster rattlesnakes, tests have shown. Elapids typically slithered close to their target before lunging, using short, permanently erect fangs. Rather than delivering a single fatal blow, elapids often bite multiple times, tensing their jaw muscles to inject venom during each bite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TrM5ReDBH3A?si=vjBxurcIhgfzubry\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In contrast, colubrids have fangs positioned farther back in their mouths. They tended to lunge from slightly farther away and deliver a single, forceful bite. Instead of multiple strikes, colubrids used a sawing or rotating jaw motion to deepen the wound and deliver more venom. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cOnce they\u2019re biting down, they saw or rotate their jaws and cut into the prey, which presumably gives better penetration of the venom,\u201d explains co-author Alastair Evans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The fastest strikers were the vipers. In 84% of viper strikes, the snakes sank their fangs into the gel in less than 90 milliseconds. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> is faster than the reaction time of nearly all the mammals they prey on. Vipers also have the longest fangs, and the fangs are hinged. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cWhen the snake is about to hit its prey, the vipers are actually able to fold out their fangs,\u201d Evans told <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Science Alert<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. He also explained that many vipers <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">could<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> adjust the position of their fangs after the initial bite to optimize venom delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All venomous snake strikes look alike, but different species have evolved distinct fangs, speeds, and techniques.
