Fun Facts About Snakes 🐍

Snakes are found all over the world except in very cold places like Antarctica. Some snakes live in trees, others in water, and many hide under rocks or in burrows. They use their surroundings to stay safe and hunt for food.

2. How Do Snakes Move?

Snakes move in different ways. Some slither in an S-shape, while others push themselves forward like a caterpillar. Some desert snakes move by twisting their bodies sideways, called sidewinding.

3. Do Snakes Have Bones?

Yes! Even though they are bendy, snakes have hundreds of small bones inside their bodies. Their flexible spine helps them twist and coil in different ways.

4. How Do Snakes Eat? 🍽️

Snakes swallow their food whole because they have no chewing teeth. Their jaws stretch wide to fit large meals, like a mouse or a bird. Some big snakes, like pythons, can eat animals much larger than their heads.

Snakes use their tongues to smell. They flick their tongue in the air to pick up scents, helping them find food and stay safe from danger.
