All about Snakes
Snakes are reptiles with no legs. They move by wriggling and shed their skin as they grow, and they swallow prey whole.
Snakes flick their tongues to smell the air and sense their surroundings.
They move by wriggling their long bodies, using their scales to grip the ground. Snakes shed their skin as they grow, which is why they sometimes look shiny and new afterwards.
Their jaws can stretch very wide to fit prey much bigger than their heads.
