Overview

Snakes are a group of reptiles found in many parts of the world. They have elongated bodies and can move quickly by using their ribs and muscles to push their bodies across the ground. Some species of snake can also swim and climb trees. Snakes use their forked tongues to sense the environment around them, and many species have venom, which is used for hunting or self-protection. Some species of snakes are kept as pets, and some are used in research to study animal behavior and evolutionary processes. Snakes also play a vital role in controlling other animal populations in some ecosystems, which helps to keep the ecosystem in balance.
