as lizards (the scaled group, Squamata) but from a sub-group of their own
(Serpentes).

along. Snakes are not slimy. They are covered in scales which are just bumps on the
skin. Their skin is hard and glossy to reduce friction as the snake slithers along the
ground.
Snakes often sun bathe on rocks in the warm weather. This is because snakes
are cold-blooded; they need the sun’s warmth to heat their bodies up.

in water, but most live on the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick long grass
and in old logs.

Anaconda can eat small crocodiles and even bears. Many snakes protect themselves
