A snake is a fascinating and unique type of animal that belongs to a group called reptiles, just like turtles and crocodiles.

Its origin or where it came from is believed to be from ancient reptiles that lived millions and millions of years ago.

Snakes are widely known for their long and slender bodies without any legs.

Just look at a garden hose; well, a snake’s body is sort of like that, but it’s full of bones, muscles, and organs.

These fantastic creatures can be discovered all over the world, in different environments such as forests, deserts, oceans, and even high on mountains.

Incredibly, snakes use their tongues to smell!

Yes, that’s right, when they flick their tongues in and out, they’re picking up scent particles from the air.

Every snake has a special characteristic, it could be venomous like vipers with dangerous poison or constrictors like pythons that squeeze their prey.

And a coolest fact about snakes! They shed their skin several times a year, a process called molting, leaving behind a detailed imprint of their scales.
