1 Snakes By Nathan Fadrigon

2 Constrictors need a lot of muscle to squeeze their prey in order to kill it.

3 Hard scales protect the inside of a snake’s body from injury.

4 Dull colors and geometric patterns disguise the shape of a snake against certain backgrounds. This is called camoflauge.

5 Afraid of snakebite? Don’t worry! Snakes only attack humans for defense. They never want to attack humans without a good reason.

6 Because snakes are cold-blooded, they don’t use a lot of energy to stay warm. So, they don’t need to eat very often. You got lucky, mouse! I’m not hungry. But just you wait…

7 Scientists “milk” snakes, by taking a venomous snake and holding its fangs in a container and let the snake spray the venom. The scientists then use the venom in medicine for humans. Interesting Facts Waah! Let me go!

8 Snakebites happen very often in India, while Canada has barely any bites!

9 The sound of a rattlesnake’s rattle can be heard up to 60 feet away. Shake, shake, rattlesnake !

10 Gaboon vipers have sharp fangs as long as 2 inches.

11 Resource Snakes, Zoobooks, John Bonnett Wexo, November 2001, Vol. 19, Number 2.
