curiosities about the snake
Snake is the name given to crawling reptiles, with an elongated body and no legs. In fact, calling these animals “snakes” is more correct, as “snake” in some countries is a word used only to refer to cobras, found in Africa and Asia.
There are, in Brazil alone, at least 370 species of snakes, of varying sizes, shapes and colors.
Contrary to what many people think, there are few species of snakes capable of causing harm to human beings. Among them, the ones that most arouse fear are the venomous ones.
Venomous animals are those that produce highly concentrated venom and have, in their body, a structure capable of inoculating (“injecting”) this substance: the venom. In the case of venomous snakes, they have teeth with modifications that allow this to be done.
The venomous snakes in Brazil have some characteristics in common that allow them to be identified and differentiated from species that do not inoculate venom, such as pythons, salamantas, anacondas, poppies and canines.
The first feature is the presence of the loreal pit, a structure that lies between the snake's eyes and nostrils.
