Back Jacket

Snakes are among the most fascinating of all animals. They seem strange and mysterious with their odd shape and gliding movement, their silent lives and flicking tongue, and because some are poisonous, many people are deathly afraid of them all. For creatures without legs, their many successful adaptations are really logical ways of living. Although feared by many persons and even killed by some, these unique reptiles play an important role in the biological world.
