"tree snake"の定義と意味

What is a "tree snake"?

A tree snake is a type of snake that is specially adapted for climbing and living in trees. They have long, slender bodies and prehensile tails that help them maneuver and coil around branches. With their excellent agility and camouflage, tree snakes are highly efficient hunters, feeding on a variety of prey such as small birds, rodents, and lizards. They are often found in tropical and subtropical regions where trees provide ample opportunities for them to thrive. Tree snakes play a vital role in maintaining the balance of their ecosystem by controlling populations of small vertebrates and serving as a food source for larger predators.
