Today’s the day to honor snakes!
You might already know that snakes live on every continent except Antarctica – and that some of them are among the deadliest animals on Earth. From a 32-foot-long python to a Barbados thread snake as thin as spaghetti, snakes come in all sizes — but one limbless shape!
In other words, zero legs, zero arms, zero wings, zero flippers or fins or flukes!
How do they move with no limbs?
Check out a snake eating an egg here, and a sidewinder snake eating a lizard here, and many more snakes here (scroll down to see some photos!).
In the mood for some snake crafts? DLTK provides several ideas here.
