Dragon snakes – snakes with rough backs, are a separate breed of snakes. This snake is very rarely seen because it is nocturnal and its only food is frogs. The dragon snake is quite long and has a black body. They can be easily identified by the spaced scales. This snake has been around since primitive times. They have sharp horn scales that protrude along their body. Dragon snakes appear in Thailand, Burma, and Indonesia, and they are slowly gaining attention from scientists thanks to their strange appearance and interesting history.
Water turtle Mata Mata
Most turtles look very harmless. However, the Mata Mata tortoise from South America in the Amazon is not like that. When grown to a certain size, this creature will be quite unusual. The neck of the Mata Mata tortoise can extend like that of a snake, so it can easily devour prey that passes by. Sharp teeth also contribute to their hunting easier. The food of this species can be seabirds, reptiles, invertebrates or fish. There’s not much documented about the Mata Mata turtle attacking humans, but we probably don’t need to worry about encountering this animal. Along with piranhas and river dolphins, the Mata Mata tortoise is considered the most exotic turtle in the world.
Snake eats African eggs
Snakes are creatures known for their ferocity and quick reactions. However, among them is a rather special species of snake, which is the African egg-eating snake. Unlike other snakes, when it comes to eating, this species is quite slow and unpretentious. When hunting, this snake attacks directly into the bird’s nest to steal the bird’s eggs. Thanks to the swiveling of their articulated jaws, they can easily swallow an entire egg, no matter how big it is. Egg-eating snakes are divided into two types, African snakes and Indian snakes, however, both species have one thing in common: they both grow independently without the support of a father snake. or mother snake. Although there are no teeth, but in return, the body of the egg-eating snake can stretch to match the size of the egg. After the eggs are put into the body of this species, their spinal bones will perform the task of breaking the egg shell in preparation for digestion.
Lizard without legs
There may be times when you see a lizard without legs and you think it’s a snake. However, in nature, there are things that are not what you see. The legless lizard measures 1.2m. Although it has no legs, thanks to its highly lethal bites and excellent hunting ability, the food of this species is very diverse. This lizard has no legs, but on the contrary, they have a long body, large ears behind the eyes, and a very prominent flat head. The food of this species is mainly snails and after eating they often use their noses to wipe the mucus secreted from the snails during their eating.
Three smooth three
The turtle is described as a hard-shelled creature. However, the turtles – a species of turtle also belong to the order of turtles – are not like that, their shells look very similar to real skin. From a distance, the slippery tortoise looks like a blob with an elongated nose and flat feet. This species can even reach a very small size, only 0.3cm. Their food is diverse with different animals. Moreover, the adaptive feature of this species is quite strange, which is that they urinate with their mouths. It is also thanks to this special ability of the three slippery elm that they are increasingly attracting attention from scientists. The method of urinating through the mouth of this species can prevent dehydration and excessive salt consumption, and can help the trident to live in brackish water.
