Snakes are carnivores. Snakes are found on every continent of the world
except Antarctica. There are around 3000 different species of snake. Some sea
snakes can breathe partially through their skin, allowing for longer dives
underwater. Anacondas are large, non-venomous snakes found in South
America that can reach over 5 m (16 ft) in length. Python reticulates can grow
over 8.7 m (28 ft) in length and are considered the longest snakes in the world.
Snakes dont have eyelids. Snakes smell with their tongue. Snakes have
flexible jaws which allow them to eat prey bigger than their head! Snakes have
internal ears but not external ones.
Snakes cant bite food so have to swallow it whole. Snakes have a unique
anatomy which allows them to swallow and digest large prey. Snakes are
covered in scales. Snakeskin is smooth and dry. Snakes shed their skin a
number of times a year in a process that usually lasts a few days. Some
species of snake, such as cobras and black mambas, use venom to hunt and
kill their prey. Pythons kill their prey by tightly wrapping around it and
suffocating it in a process called constriction.
