“Holy herps!” LOL! I never knew all these facts about snakes and their behaviors. I’m ignorant about them, but the more I’ve read of this thread, the more intrigued I’ve become. They really are particularly fascinating creatures, and incredibly beautiful.
Just the incredibly complex way they move is a miracle of bio-mechanical locomotion.
Each rib is attached to a belly scale and the ribs move in a concertina fashion, propelling the snake forward.
People say snakes “have no feet” when technically, their belly scales function as “feet” and they have *hundreds* of them.
Most only have one lung that is almost as long as their body.
They have an ‘auxiliary’ windpipe under their tongue that springs into action to keep them from suffocating while they swallow their food.
They are truly one of God’s most fascinating and complex creations.
