Question

Make notes of the following : All snakes are hunters and predators, feeding on the animals and sometimes their eggs. Having no
limbs, snakes cannot hold their prey down to bite; hence they usually swallow them whole. Poisonous snakes
sometimes immobilize their prey with their venom to make consumption easier. Most poisonous snakes are
conspicuously coloured to warn others off. One example is the red headed krait which has a bluish-black
body and scarlet head and tail. Snakes like the cobras, which have less outstanding body colours, display
their fatality by lifting the front part of their body and spreading their hoods. It is truly a myth that poisonous
snakes attack humans for food. Humans can never be their targets for food as we are normally too large for
them to swallow. In cases where snakes do bite, these attacks are usually defensive ones and the venom
injected is normally little or sometimes even none. The full, fatal dose of the venom is only released on
smaller animals which the snakes can swallow easily. Besides helping in the killing and immobilizing of their
preys, the poison also acts as digestive agents for snakes.
