Description

No group of animals has taken to life without legs quite like snakes. For more than 150 million years these dynamic predatory reptiles have adapted to, and exploited, a variety of habitats. Today, more than 3,000 snake species live on Earth, and each has its own distinctive markings and patterns, its own hunting styles, its own unique courtship behaviours and its own seasonal habits. This introduction explores what makes snakes such an enduring and dramatic evolutionary success story.
