Snakes Word Search
Venom, fangs and a forked tongue run through this snakes word search, along with the king cobra and the black mamba, the sidewinder of the desert, the hognose that plays dead, the coachwhip, the bushmaster and the puff adder, and the parts that make a snake work, from scales to vertebrae.
A snake smells with its tongue. Each flick picks up scent particles from the air and the ground, and the two tips press them against the Jacobson's organ in the roof of the mouth, which is why the tongue is forked: the snake can tell a trail on the left from one on the right. Pit vipers such as the cottonmouth and the bushmaster also carry a heat-sensing pit between eye and nostril, good enough to strike a warm mouse in the dark.
The king cobra is the longest venomous snake, able to pass 18 feet, and the female builds a nest of leaves for her eggs. It eats mostly other snakes. The sidewinder crosses loose sand by throwing its body sideways in loops, touching the ground at only two points and leaving a row of J-shaped tracks. The hognose has the oddest defense of all: when hissing fails, it rolls over, opens its mouth and lies still as if dead.
