Snakes are reptiles. They belong to the same group as lizards (the scaled
group, Squamata) but for a
sub-group of their own (Serpentes)
Snakes have two legs but a long time ago they had claws to help them slither
along. Snakes are not
slimy. They are covered in scales which are just bumps on the skin. Their skin
is hard and glossy to
reduce friction as the snake slither along the ground.
Most snakes live in the country. Some types of snakes live in trees, some live
in water, but most
usually consists of frogs, lizards, and mice and other snakes. The Anaconda can
eat small crocodile and
even wild boards.
Many snakes protect themselves with their fangs. Boa Constrictors can give you
a bear hug which is
so powerful it can crush every single bone in your body. Some snakes are
protected by scaring their
enemies away like The Cobra. The flying snakes glided away from danger. Their
ribs spread apart and
the skin stretches out. Its technique is just like sugar gliders.
