8 snakes.

50 eyes = 25 animals...
6 trunks = 3 Elephants...
40 legs = 12 legs for the 3 Elephants and 28 legs for 14 Ostriches...

Now 3 Elephants + 14 Ostriches = 17
Minus 17 from 25 animals (50 eyes) = 8 (Those are the Snakes)

6 trunks=6 elephants
6*4= 24 legs for the 6 elephants
40-24=16 legs for the 8 ostriches.
Ostriches+elephants
8+6=14
therefore snakes
25-14=11snakes.

If this is not the answer then the Op must be on a very long thing.

@ bolded:
An Elephant has 2 trunks, so 6 trunks should be for 3 Elephants.... Maybe you should make your calculations again based on this correction.

The trunk is that elongated nose of the elephant. How then can you say it's two? Are you a learner?
