– Pit organs help identify heat from prey – Roughly 100 rear-facing teeth to help latch on prey. – Anacondas pick up vibrations from other creatures. – Pressure receptors help crocodiles identify changes around them – Great nocturnal vision and underwater vision – Uses Jacobson’s organ to smell and process chemicals. – Their eyes on their head allow them to skim the surface of the water. – Immensely powerful constriction that kills by stopping the prey’s heart while causing internal damage. – Death roll can instantly remove large chunks of flesh. – Bites and holds prey while coiling around them and constricting. – Ambush predators that wait in the water for prey to approach. The Key Factors in a Fight Between an Anaconda and a Crocodile The anaconda vs crocodile battle comes down to power and size. How do we know which reptile will win this fight? The answer is simple: we compare the bodies of each creature along with how they fight and see which creature has the greatest advantages. Happy spring… if you have a story of your dog’s enthusiastic meet and greet with a snake, please share it with us.To achieve that, we have chosen six points of comparison for the anaconda and crocodile, and we’ll explore each in the pursuit of the answer of who survives this battle. Arming yourself with knowledge of the types of snakes in your area will certainly help in you helping your dog. If you’re unsure of the type of snake your dog had a tangle with, bringing it along with your dog to the veterinarian will help in diagnosing any reactions. There are hundreds of species snakes that can be found in many places. This post is strictly about the Garter snake. If your dog is anything like our Meesha you can bet on your pup testing the grounds and investigating this new found creature. Since they are found in our backyard, forests and parks, your dog will eventually come across one. Garter snakes are very common all over North America. If you’re still not sure, always call your veterinarian. If your dog swallowed the snake or shows more harsh reactions, give your veterinarian a call to make sure there’s nothing to be concerned about.Īs a note, Garter Snakes don’t tend to bite, however if you suspect your dog was bitten, in general the bite is not harmful. Garter snakes emit a pungent musk to ward off predators, so don’t be surprised if your dog experiences mild symptoms, such as gagging, swelling or salivating from their encounter with the snake. If your dog did not ingest any part of the snake, then they should be fine. Did your dog just lick it, bite or actually kill and ingest the snake! If your dog has an encounter with a garter snake, their reaction will depend on what they did to the snake. This means a bite from one could cause irritation, but shouldn’t be serious. Garter snakes are considered mildly venomous. They are quite common in North America, mainly found in backyards, grasslands, wetlands and forests. If you and your dog spend a lot time outdoors like we do, don’t be surprised if you come across one of these slithery creatures. Their stripes are flanked by spots in a checkered pattern. Garter snakes are thin snakes, about 2 or 3 feet long, they have yellow, white or red stripes running the length of their bodies. Now how does she catch it and what will she do with it? That is the question.
In this case a wiggly snake sure makes things a little more interesting. Meesha is only interested when she figures that something wants to play with her or that thing is a play thing like a toy. Since dogs like Meesha do not know the difference between safe things to play with and harmful things, as responsible owners we need to prepare ourselves with knowledge to help our pets. Well this time I thought I would prepare myself on a potential hazard since I know that Meesha will want to see what this long slithery creature is all about! As you know in my last post on “Dogs and Toads” I mentioned that I saw a small Garter Snake in our yard.
