10 Secrets of Snakes
#1: A snake skeleton has 600 - 1,800 bones. All snakes have 10 bones in their skull and jaw, but longer species have more vertebrae and ribs. Even the shortest snakes have many more bones than adult humans, who have only 207 bones!
#2: Snakes smell with their tongues! They flick their tongues out to collect scent particles, then bring them back to their mouths for analysis by their Jacobson’s organ.
