Snakes

There are more than 3,000 species

of snakes on the planet and they’re found
everywhere except in Antarctica, Iceland,
Ireland, Greenland, and New Zealand.
About 600 sc, and only about 200—seven
percent—are able to kill or significantly
wound a human. Nonvenomous snakes,
which range from harmless garter snakes
to the not-so-harmless python, dispatch
their victims by swallowing them alive or
constricting them to death. Whether they
kill by striking with venom or squeezing,
nearly all snakes eat their food whole, in
sometimes astoundingly large portions.

Almost all snakes are covered in scales and as reptiles, they’re cold blooded and must regulate
their body temperature externally. Scales serve several purposes: They trap moisture in arid climates
and reduce friction as the snake moves. There have been several species of snakes discovered that are
mostly scaleless, but even those have scales on their bellies.

Snakes also have forked tongues, which they flick in different directions to smell their
surroundings. That lets them know when danger—or food—is nearby. Snakes have several other ways
to detect a snack. Openings called pit holes in front of their eyes sense the heat given off by
warm-blooded prey. And bones in their lower jaws pick up vibrations from rodents and other
scurrying animals. When they do capture prey, snakes can eat animals up to three times bigger than
their head is wide because their lower jaws unhinge from their upper jaws. Once in a snake’s mouth,
the prey is held in place by teeth that face inward, trapping it there.

About once a month snakes shed their skin, a process called ecdysis that makes room for
growth and gets rid of parasites. They rub against a tree branch or other object, then slither out of their
skin head first, leaving it discarded inside-out. Most snakes lay eggs, but some species—like sea
snakes—give live birth to young. Very few snakes pay any attention to their eggs, with the exception
of pythons, which incubate their eggs.There are roughly a hundred snake species listed by the IUCN
Red List as endangered, typically due to habitat loss from development.

Most snakes live on land, but there are about 70 species of snakes that live in the Indian and
Pacific oceans. Sea snakes and their cousins, kraits, are some of the most venomous snakes that exist,
but they pose little threat to humans because they’re shy, gentle, and their fangs are too short to do
much damage.
