Can a snake bite through jeans and boots ??

  Snake can not bite through boots.

But sometimes through jeans, it can   !!!!




Standard hiking boots made of thick leather or rubber.  It is too dense for snake fangs to penetrate.

A snake can bite the boot but fangs won't reach the boots  !!!



Denim slows fangs down but its not snake proof  !!!

Jeans will not let the fangs of small baby snakes to penetrate inside.

But fangs of larger snakes can go through a single layer of denim, especially if the fabric is tightly pressed against leg  !!!




Denim scrapes  venom off the fangs.  Even snake bite get through the denim, amount of injected venom would be less   !!!

Why do Giraffes have long tung ???

  Long tung is basically a surviving tool for living in tall., spiky trees.


Giraffe tongue is 45 to 50 m long  !!!


Giraffe has long tongue mainly for these reasons  ----


1.  Reaching food


2.  Protecting themselves 


3.  Keeping calm


            Giraffes eat mostly Acacia trees. These trees are tall and covered with thorns.

              Giraffes can reach this much height and their long tung lets it strips leaves between the thorns without getting poked  !!!

             Tongue is super tough and muscular. Thick leathery skin +  lots of saliva helps it slide past thorns without getting cut.



              With long tongue, giraffes clean their face, eyes and ears   !!!
