Do you know why some snakes that hunt for food at night are able to accurately hunt their prey? The answer lies in their “secret weapon” – thermal imaging systems. Vipers, pythons, anacondas and other snakes all have such an organ, but the viper’s organ is between the eyes and nostrils, which is called the cheek fossa, while the anaconda’s organ is on the edge of the lip, called the labial fossa.
Both the cheek fossa and the lip fossa are covered with heat-sensing cells, which can accurately detect external heat, and then trigger nerve impulses through the trigeminal nerve to generate messages, which are then transmitted to the visual quadrupole of the brain, and then the brain will Producing a complete image of the prey based on the distribution of heat is the snake’s infrared-like thermal imaging system.
It is precisely because of this system that snakes can accurately capture the exact location of mice and other prey in the dark night, and then kill them with one unexpected strike.
Similarly, when exploring animal traces in the vast wilderness, which auxiliary equipment would you choose? Binoculars are currently more commonly used, followed by night vision devices that can be used to spot animals at night. But even night vision devices sometimes find it difficult to detect animals under poor conditions (very dark at night). Fortunately, there are infrared thermal imaging cameras that can detect objects without relying on light sources. They can accurately detect wild animals under any conditions. s position.
Thermal imaging cameras can penetrate darkness and ignore visual camouflage. Unlike all other night vision systems, they don’t require any light to produce clear images. Many animals are mostly nocturnal, using the cover of darkness to remain undetected, but they show up clearly in thermal images even in complete darkness and all other weather conditions.
This infrared thermal imaging binocular telescope can help you clearly see people, objects and animals hundreds of meters away in a dark environment. You can use it to keep an eye on your property 24/7 from a safe distance, or to find missing pets, check for potential predators, and search roads, parking spaces, wild parks, and more in the dark.
Simple to operate, it makes it easy to measure large areas, making it ideal for wildlife observation, home security or public safety. The battery life is up to 6 hours, allowing you to use it in the wild all night long!
