Snakes, these reptiles are the most high-tech creatures on planet.
These facts proves that they are the superheroes of animal kingdom !!!
1. Snakes have thermal vision
Snake can detect the body heat of a mouse several feet away even in total darkness.
2. The fork in the tongue is a GPS !!!!
The fork in the tongue picks up smells as it is a 3-D smelling system.
3. Some snakes can glide.
4. Snakes can clone themselves.
5. Snakes can go a year without food.
6. Snakes' bones are like rubber
7. Zombie reflex
This is the most unsettling fact about snakes.
Snake is capable of biting even after it has died !!!
They are cold blooded and don't need much oxygen for brain.
Their reflexes stay active for a long time.
The head of the snake that is separated from the body can still sense heat and strike for upto an hour !!!
This is the zombie reflex.
That's why one should never touch a dead snake.
Dimples are the side effect of how face muscles have formed !!!
They are not there for anything useful.
About 20 - 30% of people worldwide have dimples.
Why do we get them ??
When our face was forming in womb, one cheek muscle got bit shorter or split.
So when we smile, this shortened muscle pulls the skin IN a little. This makes the dimple.
So, in simple words
SHORT MUSCLE + SMILE = DIMPLE !!!
Dimples tend to run in families. It is because of genes.
If parents have dimples, their children are more likely to have them.
Dimples don't have any specific useful work to do !!!
They are harmless and people often find them " CUTE ".
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 !!!
