Snakes! Fascinating creatures! Here are some interesting facts about snakes:
- There are over 3,000 species of snakes, ranging from harmless to venomous.
- Snakes have no legs, but can move quickly and efficiently through slithering.
- They have a highly developed sense of smell and can detect prey or predators through chemical cues.
- Snakes have a flexible skull that allows them to swallow prey whole, and their digestive system can dissolve bones and fur.
- Some snakes are constrictors, wrapping their bodies around prey to suffocate it, while others deliver venom through bites.
- Snakes shed their skin periodically, a process called ecdysis, to accommodate growth and replace old skin.
- Despite their reputation, most snakes are harmless to humans and play a vital role in ecosystems as predators and prey.
