Silent, sleek, and endlessly adaptable, snakes thrive in deserts, forests, grasslands, and even the ocean. With flexible bodies packed with muscles, scales that protect and camouflage, and movement styles that let them climb, swim, and sidewind with ease, these reptiles are built for survival. Packed with scientific facts, vivid photography, and engaging illustrations, this guide explores shedding skin, sensing the world with flicking tongues, swallowing prey whole, and the surprising variety of venomous and non-venomous species. A vibrant, kid-friendly introduction to nature's most misunderstood reptiles. Part of the popular and wild world of Zoobooks, this reinforced library-binding edition includes a table of contents, extra resources, and an index.
