What do snakes need to survive?

Question I am Answering: What do snakes need to survive??

Have you ever wondered how a snake survives in the wild?  Well i’m here to teach you how snakes collect food, drink water and about their habitat to survive from predators.

Lets fill you up on some food information. Snakes are interesting creatures when it comes too catching their prey.  With some creatures, snakes wrap around it until it dies of suffocation. Sometimes the venomous snakes inject a shot of venom into their prey to paralyze their prey or even kill it on the spot and then the snake is able to swallow the ready meal whole. Snakes don’t bite their prey unless they are injecting venom. Snakes can eat and swallow, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, insects, spiders, centipedes & scorpions. I think it is time that we slither away from food.

Let’s tell you something little about water. Snakes are like all of us when it comes to the natural needs. It eats as you have heard, and they also drink water. When it comes too snakes drinking water they drink it like a normal animal does. But if the snake lives in a naturally dry habitat when the snake crosses paths with a puddle of rainwater it can drink it. But if it is lots It can gather the water on its body in its little scales and it can save it for when it is thirsty. Sea snakes are different. You would think that sea snakes can drink freely but that is only if they live in freshwater. Salt water sea snakes have too find fresh water before they can have a drink.

Habitats are a key part for a snake. Because snakes have many enemies, they need a secure and quiet place so then they don’t become deprived of sleep. Snakes can live in many different places to stay safe. For example… Burrows, Underwater Coral caves, Tunnels, Vegetation & Caves. Snakes hide in these things because they are sheltered from predators. Snakes also need to find a habitat that suits their living needs.

So after all of that, Snakes are really cool creatures and they are a lot like us humans.  And one last thing, if you stumble across a snake leave it alone. These are some amazing creatures and they have some amazing features along with them. WOW!

Reflection Questions

Something I did well: I think i have good quality work and it has scientific words.

Something I need to improve: I need to find More scientific words and i need to add more Punctuation

What I learned from this assignment:  I learnt that Sea snakes need to find fresh water to have a drink.
