Case Study: The Northern Water Snake

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

There are many different species of snakes that inhabit Arizona, but the Sonoran Coral Snake, the Sonoran Mountain Kingsnake, the Milk Snake, and the Sonoran Shovel-Nosed Snake are particularly interesting because despite being different species they all look like one another. The red, black, and yellow stripes they share can be attributed to evolution and environment. The four species of snakes have different diets, habitats, and distribution, but they do share one environmental element: primary predators. All four snakes have raptors, long tailed weasels, and badgers as predators. These snakes have evolved to have stripes because raptors, long tailed weasels, and badgers are less likely to eat snakes with red, black, and yellow stripes

There are many interesting things people can learn about reptile behavior from their pet like how their reptile eats, how it moves, how it hunts, how it reproduces, how it mates, how it defends itself, and how it’s born. One fact that can be learned is that not all reptiles are born from eggs some, like boas, are born live.There are many benefits to keeping a reptile. For example, people who are allergic to pet dander from furry animals like cats and dogs can keep a reptile as a pet. Reptiles aren't furry, so there aren’t any allergy problems to consider. Reptiles also don’t really require the intense care that is needed for many other pets as their cold-blooded metabolism makes them less active. Many reptiles also don’t need to be fed daily as a good meal will often keep them for days or even months in the case of many snakes. Reptiles are also good for people who like quiet pets as many are relatively silent.(PetLife) When choosing a pet reptile people also need to be aware of the advantages and disadvantages of keeping a reptile to be sure it is suitable for them. For example, the experts at Reptile Expert.com recommend that “Corn snakes make a good snake pet for beginners. They are docile and respond well to human handling.” (Hsin-Yi) The owners have to be aware that some pet reptiles have killed people and take into consideration the fact they will be solely responsible for anything that

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

Snakeheads are capable of spreading to many different areas and habitats. They do this by swimming underwater into other waterways. Snakeheads also have the ability to breathe out of water, so they can travel short distances on land to get to different areas. Even though snakeheads only breed when temperatures are warm, their eggs only take 1 to 2 days to hatch; causing quicker births of individuals.

Because of this danger, thousands of these rattlesnakes are rounded up on an annual basis and killed. These snakes can be found all throughout the southern states, but are extremely common in Texas. They are characterized by the unique diamond shape pattern that is displayed on their back.

Physical Description: Northern Pacific Rattlesnakes have thick flat body with vertical pupils, blunt tail with a jointed rattle and brown, tan, gray, black, yellow and olive skin colors and/or patterns. Northern Pacific Rattlesnakes can reach a length 15-48 inches and

Another species worth mentioning are the clown snakes. They are huge herbivore snakes that are up to twenty feet long. They have extremely hard scales that need a tremendous amount of force to be broken, and they also have large flat teeth. The teeth usually so large that the snakes look like they’re smiling, and their scales are very bright with a variety of colors.The snake seem very harmless with their large grin and rainbow scales,

To many the Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake is considered the king of rattle snakes as they are able to grow up to 15 feet. Many people may recognize them by there infamous deafening rattle. If threatened they will coil up into an S shape and raise there tail and shake their tail making a loud threatening sound similar to a baby rattle. The rattle is made from Keratin (the same material as human fingernails). Each time they shed there skin a notch is added in the rattle, but since they usually end up knocking them off from hitting them against rocks and other items, it is not a reliable way of telling age. The Eastern back rattlesnake is usually docile unless you happen to step on it or provoke it. This species of snake can be found in the

Mercenaries are most of the time viewed as villains. The mercenary's primary motive is to complete their mission and obtain the reward of money. Many of these mercenaries value a specific “code of honor”, and some are just in it for the money. From the video game series Metal Gear Solid, a United States Government project called Les Enfants Terribles attempted to create a clone of the world’s most famous soldiers Big Boss. This clone’s name was David Hayter, also known as Solid Snake, who is regarded as one of the greatest mercenaries in video game history. He holds an IQ of 180, and fluently speaks English, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, German, and French. Snake then would become a part of FOXHOUND, which was a special forces unit commanded

Snakes instill fear in humans more than an animal alive. We are superior to the snakes, however; with just one bite from a venomous snake, we might just say our goodbyes. Are there venomous snakes in the sea? The answer is yes. The deadliest one is the Beaded sea snake. Three venom drops from this snake kill eight people. Fortunately, their fangs cannot penetrate a diver suit easily. If only they are threatened, that's when they strike. Australia is the country that possesses a wide variety of venomous snakes. Cases of snake bites only come from the Eastern Brown Snake yet it has 50 different kinds of snakes.

In the past King cobra village used to fight with Cobra . But there's a problem ,Whenever it gets scared it will spread a ton of poison into its victim eyes. So nowadays King Cobra Village is using the King Cobra Snakes instead, Yes! They all know that King Cobra is very poisonous ,But it doesn't spread a lot of poison right? ,So their eyes are save :P.

Snakes are known to have no legs and long body. They belong to Squamata group (reptiles group that have scales). They are considered the most adaptable animals to their environtments. They can be found at almost all over the world: in the mountains, forests, plains, neighborhoods, deserts, farms, until the sea. Although, they will increasingly rare in colder place because they are cold-blooded animals. Cold-blooded animals need warmth of the sun to keep their body temperature. That is why they are not existed in both Polar Regions.

Snakes tend to differ significantly from other terrestrial vertebrates due to their lack of any appendages. Although such a characteristic would appear to be of a significant disadvantage on land, snakes have managed to secure themselves a variety of niches and adaptations. The elongated body gave many snakes the ability to strangle their prey and easily inhabit aquatic and nonaquatic environments alike. Some snakes have also been able to climb trees and managed to out speed or compete with animals with limbs. The specific locomotion of snakes can thus be a “potentially important indicator of ecological differences between species” [7]. Understanding the ways that snakes move helps us understand the types of factors responsible for their form, while giving insight into inventing machines and instruments that can use this motion for everyday use. This paper will look at the specifics and varieties of snake locomotion, while touching on some of the factors like anatomy and physiology that affect snakes’ survival.
