What is a "snake"?

A snake is a legless reptile characterized by its elongated body and unique ability to slither. It comes in various sizes, colors, and patterns, adapting to different environments worldwide. The snake has a flexible jaw structure that allows it to consume prey larger than its own head size. It is carnivorous, feeding on a wide range of animals such as rodents, birds, and insects. Some snake species possess venomous fangs for capturing and subduing their prey, while others rely on constriction. Snakes play essential roles in ecosystems as both predators and prey, contributing to the ecological balance. Despite being often misunderstood, snakes are fascinating creatures with remarkable adaptations that enable them to thrive in diverse habitats.
