Frequently asked
How do snakes move without legs?
Snakes use four main types of movement: serpentine (side-to-side curves), rectilinear (straight-line belly muscle contractions), concertina (accordion-like bunching), and sidewinding for sandy surfaces. Their flexible spine has up to 400 vertebrae, twice as many as humans.
What do snakes eat and how do they swallow large prey?
Most snakes are carnivores eating rodents, birds, eggs, fish, or insects. Their jaws can unhinge and stretch dramatically, allowing them to swallow prey much larger than their head. They have backward-curved teeth to prevent escape.
Are all snakes venomous?
Only about 600 of the world's 3,000+ snake species are venomous. Most snakes are completely harmless to humans. Venomous snakes use their poison primarily for hunting prey, not defense, and prefer to avoid human contact whenever possible.
