The song “Black Snakes” by A Tribe called Red and Prolific the Rappers explains to the world that the citizens need to stand up and protest to protect the water between North Dakota to Patoka, Illinois. Prolific the Rappers tell the audience that enough is enough with the companies trying to make a pipeline to collect oil. Prolific the Rappers stated in his line, “A black snake with some black tanks (ugh), how much money do these companies need to make? They could drive their product, but they want to save a buck. Already extracted billions when is enough’s enough.”. He raps this lyric to send a message about the Dakota Access pipeline is only letting the company get rich from the oil and they do not care about what the effect will happen

“Although they have no venom, they have other, quite effective means of killing their prey.” (Burmese Python: Not the ideal pet) This quote states the snake had no venom, but still has unique ways of killing their prey.

The python’s intestines thicken, their insulin levels shoot up, liver and kidneys double in size, they have a 6-degree temp increase, their metabolism jumps 8-fold, and their pulse quickens as they digest.

In the article "The snake that is eating Florida" written by Lauren Tarshis, it states that,"The Burmese python is not a specie naturally found in the everglades."How did it get here. A hurricane hit Florida in the 1990's and wreaked a reptile war house which had baby Burmese pythons in it. The wind in the hurricane was blowing to the west, strait to Miami/everglades. That's how the Burmese python got to the everglades, and then they became invasive.

Once the snakes are caught, they go through a few different processes. First, they have their venom removed from

The Diadophis punctatus, or more commonly known as the ring-neck snake, is a harmless nocturnal snake that lives throughout the eastern and central part of North America. In Idaho, ring-neck snakes can be found at the west and south-east part of the state.

CHARLESTON, South Carolina (Achieve3000, August 7, 2015). A rare leatherback sea turtle was found on a South Carolina beach in March 2015. The enormous reptile weighed 476 pounds (216 kilograms). It was spotted on the Yawkey-South Island Reserve in Georgetown County. The creature was brought to the South Carolina Aquarium. Workers named her Yawkey. She was treated with fluids, antibiotics, and vitamins. She was the first leatherback to be found alive in South Carolina. Caretakers were eager to see her returned to the sea.

The Western Diamondback Rattlesnake and humans have quite a history together, and it isn't a pretty one. In the United States, this rattlesnake is responsible for around four or five fatalities each year.

Conservation Efforts: Northern Pacific Rattlesnakes is as a least concerned species but among human settlements their habitats are being damaged. Northern Pacific Rattlesnake populations are being impacted by agricultural expansion, habitat destruction, entertainment purposes, hide trading and road construction. Vehicle collision is the most common way for Northern Pacific Rattlesnake to be killed.

The Northern Snakehead, Channa argus, is a freshwater fish species native throughout eastern Asia but can be found worldwide due to incidental and purposeful introductions. In the United States there are many reports of several species of snakeheads that have been sold through aquarium trade in pet stores and purchased from live food fish trade (Maryland DNR, 2003). There are a total of four species of snakeheads that have been introduced in the United States: Northern snakehead (Channa argus), blotched snakehead (C. maculata), bullseye snakehead (C. marulius), and the giant snakehead (C. miicropeltes) and have though to been introduced through intentional releases from pet stores or accidental releases from the live fish trade (Maryland DNR,

This snake has the most venom, more than any other snake in the world. If left untreated, the death rate from a bite from this snake is eighty percent. That being said, this snake does not usually bite, is actually easy going, and stays away from confrontation.

The topic of sea serpents is not something that has just come about in recent years. Actually, the first time sea serpents were revealed to us dates back to 30 BCE[3]. Since then, sea serpents have been sighted many times in multiple places like, off the coasts of New England, Brazil, New Zealand, and California[6]. But are these real sightings or just simple misidentifications? The truth is that there is no scientific evidence that proves sea serpents are a real thing. Although some evidence is convincing, Sea serpents are actually not real and all of the sightings around the world are usually other types of sea animals, a misidentification, or just a hoax.

Venomous snakes are known as rich sources of toxins among venomous animal species. Snakes venoms are complex chemical mixtures of pharmacologically active compounds such as enzymes, peptides and proteins with specific chemical and biological activities (Ménez et al., 2006, Jiminez-Porras, 1968), in addition to non-protein components such as carbohydrates, lipids and metal ions. Snakes venoms are mostly reputed for their neurotoxic substances, which induce paralysis and death, and hemotoxic substances that have hemorrhagic effects (Greene, 1997, Jiminez-Porras, 1968). In that respect, in many parts of the world especially in tropical and subtropical countries, snakebites are considered as serious health concerns (Harrison et al. 2009). According
