Odd
reptile diet.
A snake is a limbless,
elongate reptile of the suborder Serpentes. Like all reptiles,
snakes are ectothermic and covered in scales. All snakes
are carnivorous and can be distinguished from legless
lizards by their lack of eyelids, external ears, and vestiges
of forelimbs. The 2,900 species of snakes spread across
every continent except Antarctica ranging in size from
the tiny, 10 cm long thread snake to pythons and anacondas
over 7 meters long. In order to accommodate snakes' narrow
bodies, paired organs (such as kidneys) appear one in
front of the other instead of side by side... |
