POPULATION / LIVING
Living snakes are found on every continent except Antarctica, and on most smaller land
masses; exceptions include some large islands, such as Ireland, Iceland, Greenland, the
Hawaiian archipelago, and the islands of New Zealand, and many small islands of the
Atlantic and central Pacific oceans.[3] Additionally, sea snakes are widespread throughout
the Indian and Pacific Oceans. More than 20 families are currently recognized, comprising
about 500 genera and about 3,400 species.[4][5] They range in size from the tiny, 10.4 cm-
long thread snake[6] to the reticulated python of 6.95 meters (22.8 ft) in length.[7] The fossil
species Titanoboa cerrejonensis was 12.8 meters (42 ft) long.[8] Snakes are thought to have
evolved from either burrowing or aquatic lizards, perhaps during the Jurassic period, with
the earliest known fossils dating to between 143 and 167 Ma ago.[9] The diversity of
modern snakes appeared during the Paleocene period (c 66 to 56 Ma ago). The oldest
preserved descriptions of snakes can be found in the Brooklyn Papyrus.
DESCRIPTION
Snakes are the kind of reptile that have no legs but has long
body. Based on its kind, they belong to Squamata group
(scaly reptiles). They are the most adaptable animals with
the environment. Almost all over the world such as in the
mountains, forests, deserts, plains, farms, neighborhoods,
till the sea, they can be found. However, in the colder place,
they will increasingly rare. It is because they are cold-
blooded animals. These types of animal require warmth of
the sun to set their body temperature. That is why they
could not be found in Polar Regions both South Pole and
the North Pole.
The habitat of them is so various. Most of snake lives on the ground, under rocks, shrubs, even
some of them spend all his life on the tree without ever stepping on the ground even once. While
others live in aquatic or semi aquatic habitat, such as in rivers, swamps, lakes, and sea. These
animals have a variety of ways to protect themselves. Some snake can protect themselves with
deadly poison like a Rattle Snake, Cobra, and Sea Snake. Even King Cobra can kill without biting but
they can shoot the poison directly to their enemies eye. Snakes like Anaconda and python protect
themselves with the power of windings. They will be wrapped around the prey or enemy very
hard. Their winding will make their enemy and prey die even till their bones crushed.
Snakes are carnivorous animal. They eat the prey without chewing. The elastic jaws enable
them to swallow their prey while its teeth are not for chewing but as a barrier to prevent its
prey to escape. They eats various types of animals that are smaller than its body such as fish,
frogs, tadpoles, birds, mammals, and other small snakes. Even, there are some snakes eat larger
animal than their body such as pythons and anacondas which can eat goats, deer, elk, and even
humans.

Most types of snake reproduce by spawning. They can produce so much eggs even can reach
hundreds of eggs. They usually lay their eggs in holes on the ground, cave, in the hole of
weathered wood, or under a pile of dead leaves. There are several types of snakes known incubate
their eggs until hatching like pythons. But some snakes are known to bear their children called as
Ovoviviparous snake such as Kadut Snake, Pucuk Snake and sea snake
