Explorers:
23. Some snakes have over 200 teeth. The teeth aren’t used for chewing but they point backward to prevent prey from escaping the snake’s throat.


Not all snakes have fangs only those that kill their prey with venom have them.

When their fangs are not in use, they fold them back into the roof of the mouth (except for the coral snake, whose fangs do not fold back).

Snakes cannot chew, so they must swallow their food whole.

They are able to stretch their mouths very wide(160) because they have a very flexible lower jaw.

Snakes can swallow other animals that are 75%–100% bigger than their own bodies.

A snake’s fangs usually last about 6–10 weeks.

When a fang wears out, a new one grows in its place.

So evolution decided that snake should not chew and put the teaths backward. Its sound so foolish when someone says there is no creator.

rattle snake is one d most dangerous ND aggressive .
pigs are also immune to snake bite
female anaconda can kill it's partner after mating

Pigs are not necessarily immune to snake bites. They have a thick layer of skin and adipose tissue which makes it a bit difficult for venom to go down the blood stream... Its a 50/50 thing.

sorry I'm a lame man
I don't do well with medical terminology

Can't remember the last time I read all pages of a thread. Thanks explorers for the info. Keep it up

Omololu007:
you mean cobras can kill anaconda?

Yes. Cobras have very deadly poisons which could be fatal to the Anaconda. They can swallow them though. But king cobras can swallow small Anaconda snakes.

following, I'm sure I'm gonna follow it to the end. very educative

I so much detest snakes that I couldn't sleep again one fateful midnight like that my Bro. woke me to come and join him in killing a snake. I don't sleep with light on but dt dey, na all the chargeable lamps in the house I gathered into my room. Got into this thread around 7pm yday, had to adjourned the reading till later in the afternoon when I spotted the first picture. I quickly run commot Kudos To You Explorer, I Am An Ardent Follower Of Ur Thread.

No animal is immune to snake bites, but pigs have a thicker layer of skin than most animals. ... According to the
findings, pig skin necrotized at the same rate of human skin when snake venom was injected. With that being said, a pig's reaction to a snake bite largely depends on the pig itself.

there's this small animal that feeds on snakes too
Mongoose

Yeah.
I know that animal..
"The mongoose's acetylcholine receptors render them resistant or immune to
snake venom. ... And so, one of the
snake's main ammunition, its venom is
almost useless against a mongoose. The
mongooses successfully dodge their
strikes and kill them.".

.
.
They also have thick skin...
Thats why they dodge.. The snake can still harm them small

Did you know there's an island off the coast of Brazil called Snake Island?

It's so dangerous that Brazilian authorities don't even allow people to go to it unless there are special circumstances. The island is called Ilha da Queimada Grande, and it's home to what is thought to be one of the most dangerous and venomous snakes in the world.

There are only about 2-4 thousand of these snakes in existence, and their venom is said to literally melt human skin.
