The Reptilians who lived beside Dinosaurs

 

There are many deadly animals out there. But one reptile sticks out the most, the venomous snakes. Scary!


There are over 3,000 species of snakes in the world and around 600 are venomous and over 200 are considered to be medically important, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).


Saw-Scaled Viper (Echis Carinatus) – The Deadliest Snake In The World. Although its venom is not very potent, the Saw-Scaled Viper is considered as one of the world's deadliest snakes as it is believed to be responsible for more human fatalities than all other snakes put together.


Most snakes have trouble at a speed of 1mph and their average speed is between 1-3 miles per hour. Exceptional snakes like the Black Mamba have been documented to reach speeds of 10-12 miles per hour in short bursts and the Sidewinder at 18 miles per hour. The Red Racer reaches a speed of about 3 miles per hour


It is hard to believe but snakes have many enemies. Large birds, wild boars, mongooses, raccoons, foxes, coyotes and even other snakes are a few of the dangers snakes fall prey to. The biggest enemies of snakes are the eagles.


Some species of snake are excellent climbers, and can climb walls. ... The snake must have something to grab ahold of and push off of.


Alright, now that we have given you some information, let's give you some opinions.


They look fun. We like that some snakes can be tamed and kept as pets. It would be cool if I had one. But, I can’t due to me not being able to take care of myself (JK, don’t take it seriously).
