From the Publisher

Investigate these other wild facts:

Venomous or Poisonous

Did you know there is a difference between venom and poison? Both substances are toxins, but their toxic effects depend on how they are delivered into the body. Venom is harmful when it is injected, like from a bee’s stinger.

Fast Snakes: Racers, Coachwhips, and Whipsnakes

In the family Colubridae, there is one group of snakes that is incredibly fast. The coachwhips, whipsnakes, and racers from the genus Coluber are diurnal snakes that are found in a variety of habitats throughout the Americas.

What Shape Snake?

The body shape of a snake is connected with how often it moves and the environment in which it lives. Snakes that move a lot are usually slender. Thick-bodied snakes are normally less active.
