People almost believe that snakes can dance to the music. Well, when Indian snake charmers play music to cobras, they sway rhythmically. In fact, this statement is completely false. The snake's hearing is very insensitive and can only hear very low frequency sounds, so it is impossible for it to respond to the music played by the snake charmer, let alone dance to its rhythm.

Zoologists say that cobras can indeed feel the vibrations of the snake charmer's feet tapping on the ground and the wooden stick tapping on the snake basket. Once the snake feels any movement, it will sway out of the snake basket. He put his head out and looked for the target to attack. The reason why snakes swing from side to side is to keep their upper bodies "standing" in the air. This is their instinct and has nothing to do with playing music. Because once it stops swinging, it has to collapse to the ground.

(2) Hearing retardation: Snakes do not have external and middle ears, only the columella bones, and no tympanic membrane, tympanic cavity and Eustachian tube, so snakes cannot receive sound waves conducted by air. Snakes only have an inner ear (including the auditory organ - the kettle, the bulbous sac and the balancer - the semicircular canals, the utricle and the columella bone of the middle ear). One end is connected to the oval window of the inner ear, and the other end is connected to the transverse bone near the quadrate bone. The inner side of the upper corner muscle is very sensitive to vibrations from the ground. Therefore, when people are working or walking on desolate grassland, they can scare the snake away by hitting the ground with a stick or deliberately walking with heavier steps. This is called beating. Grass can scare snakes.
