Snake

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Snakes are reptiles. They do not have legs. Snakes are known to eat small animals, for example mice and birds. Some snakes are venomous - their bite is poisonous (the poison goes through their teeth), or they can spit poison. Some snakes are big as 365 centimeters long, and some are small. Most snakes, like the King Cobra, are venomous, but some are not. They move by pushing and pulling themselves with the muscles on the bottom of their bodies. They swallow their food whole, sometimes by dislocating their jaws. Once the snake's prey is in its body, its internal muscles crush it so the animal can be digested. They are cold-blooded carnivores and some eat large prey. They feed on rodents and mice. They capture prey in many ways.Some snakes can eat people.
