Information About Snakes

-
1:-There are more than 3,000 species of snakes in the world.there are snakes of many different sizes. The world's smallest snake, according to National Geographic, is the thread snake, which grows to only about 3.9 inches (10 centimeters) long. It looks much like an earthworm. The largest snake, the reticulated python, can grow to a whopping 30 feet (9 meters). The largest snake fossil ever discovered is called the Titanoboa. This creature lived 60 million years ago and would have been 50 feet (15 meters) long. 
   
2:-SNAKES SKIN

 They have dry scaly skins made of a strong material a bit like our finger nails.Snakes are entirely covered with scales .

Scales have been modified over time to serve other functions such as 'eyelash' fringes, and protective covers for the eyes.
Snakes periodically moult their scaly skins and acquire new ones. This permits replacement of old worn out skin, disposal of parasites and is thought to allow the snake to grow. The arrangement of scales is used to identify snake species.



EYES OF SNAKES 








  • In general snakes can see better at night because their rods are more highly developed than the cones. Which is the opposite of you and I. Te

    • Snakes are not able to move their eyes, so they can’t look around without moving their head.




  • One sign a snake is going to shed is its eyes become opaque about 5 to 7 days before it happens

    • Sometimes a shedding snake will not shed the scale on its eyes. This is often a sign that the humidity is too low.

Esta criatura vivió hace 60 millones de años y habría tenido 50 pies (15 metros) de largo.
      
    2: -SNAKES SKIN

    Tienen pieles secas y escamosas hechas de un material fuerte un poco como las uñas de nuestros dedos. Las serpientes están completamente cubiertas de escamas.


                                     


    Las escamas se han modificado con el tiempo para cumplir otras funciones, como las franjas de 'pestañas' y las cubiertas protectoras para los ojos.
    Las serpientes mudan periódicamente sus pieles escamosas y adquieren otras nuevas. Esto permite el reemplazo de la piel vieja y desgastada, la eliminación de parásitos y se cree que permite que la serpiente crezca. La disposición de escamas se utiliza para identificar especies de serpientes.

    OJOS DE SERPIENTES



                                      


    En general, las serpientes pueden ver mejor por la noche porque sus varillas están más desarrolladas que los conos. Que es lo opuesto a ti y a mí.
    Las serpientes no pueden mover los ojos, por lo que no pueden mirar alrededor sin mover la cabeza.

    Una señal de que una serpiente va a arrojar es que sus ojos se vuelven opacos entre 5 y 7 días antes de que ocurra

    A veces, una serpiente que se arroja no arroja la escama en sus ojos. Esto es a menudo una señal de que la humedad es demasiado baja.

    The contemporary history of the world's favourite game spans more than 100 years. It all began in 1863 in England, when rugby football and association football branched off on their different courses and the Football Association in England was formed - becoming the sport's first governing body. The most admitted story tells that the game was developed in England in the 12th century. In this century games that resembled football were played on meadows and roads in England. Besides from kicks, the game involved also punches of the ball with the fist. This early form of football was also much more rough and more violent than the modern way of playing. An important feature of the forerunners to football was that the games involved plenty of people and took place over large areas in towns (an equivalent was played in Florence from the 16th century where it was called Calcio). The rampage of these games would cause damage on the town and sometimes death. These would be among the

    BACTERIA IN DOGS SALIVA CAUSE DEATH IN HUMANS  Dogs are man’s best friend, but recent reports served as a reminder that they carry bacteria in their saliva that can cause disease, and even death, in humans. In June, a man in West Bend, Wisconsin, had both hands and lower legs amputated after being infected with the bacterium  Capnocytophaga canimorsus , possibly through contact with a dog, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel  . Two other recent cases were reported in Wisconsin, according to the paper: a boy aged 3 years who had his fingers and toes amputated after being exposed to  C .   canimorsus , and a woman who was bitten by her dog and developed rapidly progressing influenza-like symptoms that resulted in her death. Dog bites have long been associated with illness. RABIES  remains responsible for about  60,000  Human Death  annually, mostly in developing countries. A range of other disease-causing organisms are also known to be transmitted from dogs to hu
