Snakes are unique among reptiles because they lack eyelids and external ears, relying on vibrations and heat-sensing organs to detect prey and danger. Some species, like pit vipers, pythons, and boas, have specialized heat-sensitive pits near their mouths that allow them to "see" infrared radiation, helping them hunt warm-blooded animals even in complete darkness. Despite their limbless bodies, snakes are incredibly agile, using muscular contractions called "serpentine locomotion" to glide across various terrains. With over 3,000 species worldwide, snakes range from tiny, harmless threadsnakes to massive anacondas and venomous cobras, playing vital roles in their ecosystems as both predators and prey. 0 reply
