Exploring Nature: Snake’s Alive

I am not a big fan of snakes. While I realize these slithery reptiles have a place in nature’s overall scheme, I still find them unlovable.

There are lots and lots of snakes out there — about 2500 species on this earth. And they are quite curious creatures.

A snake never closes its eyes, because it has no eyelids. It is also deaf, having no ears. It “listens” with its sensitive underside for ground vibrations.
