Snakes and Their Control

Viac o knihe

The reproductive habits of snakes vary, with most laying eggs in warm locations while some give birth to live young, typically without parental care. Their unique forked tongues help them detect scents, alerting them to danger or food. Additionally, specialized heat-sensing pit holes and jaw bones enable snakes to detect warm-blooded prey and vibrations from potential meals. Remarkably, snakes can consume prey much larger than their head by unhinging their jaws, using inward-facing teeth to secure their catch.
