By using their nostrils and tongue

Explanation:

  • Snakes have the ability to trace smell. This is where their nostrils and tongue come to work.
  • When they receive a whiff of anything interesting, they flick their tongue out to deliver the molecules spread in the air to the scent organ located at the top of their mouth.
  • This enables them to identify the scent and the route from which it is coming.
  • This way they follow their parent's path to the river.
