Not only that, but they hang from cave ceilings A scientist from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville has discovered that a species of snake, the Cuban boa, hunts in groups, and through teamwork improve their chances of catching prey. And if a pack of 1 to 2 meter (3 to 6 ft) long snakes working together wasn't enough to give you heart palpitations, they do it by hanging upside down from the roofs of caves.
"After sunset and before dawn, some of the boas entered the passage that connected the roosting chamber with the entrance chamber, and hunted by suspending themselves from the ceiling and grabbing passing bats."

Not “snakes”, but A snake species through local adaptation.
Just more evidence of God’s beautiful design....................
The White House press corps?
Never expect a headline writer to communicate actual or accurate information.
Years ago I was on a plane before this movie came out and they showed a movie. Before the movie came previews of upcoming movies.
The showed the preview for “Snakes on a plane”.
The entire plane burst into laughter spontaneously.
Was hilarious.
DGI?
[Snakes and Marine Iguanas]
What an unhappy ending! I was cheering on the Iguana.
Planet Earth 2 on BBC recently showed “racer snakes” going after newly-hatched iguanas in the Galapagos. Dozens of snake head pop up when they see a baby iguana and all of the snakes start chasing it—fast. They might not be ‘hunting in a pack’ but it sure looked like one critter against a bunch of wolves. Gave my wife nightmares.
Oh wait!
DemocRats.
I don’t believe it. There are lots of reasons snakes go in caves together. Warmth and shelter, and thats where the food is. But not to hunt together. Snakes can only eat a whole creature. They are not like lions that can feed a group on one water buffalo or elk. A snake will catch something and eat it. But that would not help another snake. This is corollary not causal. Because snakes hunt in the same place, they are not hunting as a group.
Someone should check the Hebrew text of Genesis. Maybe there were two snakes. By teaming up and backing what the other one said they were able to talk Eve into eating the apple.
Life is short but snakes are long.
The first snake never had a chance! lol
