Snakes are elongated, limbless, flexible reptiles.
Their body shape depends on the habitat in which they live. Aquatic snakes
usually have a flattened body; those living in trees are long and slender with a
prehensile tail while burrowing snakes tend to be compact. Snakes are found in a
huge range of colours, from bright to dull. Brightly coloured snakes are usually
venomous, their coloration serving as a warning to predators, while dull coloured
snakes use their collaboration for camouflage. Some snakes mimic the colour and
pattern of venomous snakes.
