Previous Fun Fact: 10. Although there are thousands of species of snakes, all snakes are carnivorous. This means that no snakes eat plant matter as part
of their diet. Their diet is completely comprised of meat.
This week's fun fact: 9. Some people think snakes have no ears. In reality, they do have ears and can hear, but their ears, unlike some lizards, are covered by external skin and scales. Because of this, it is estimates that snakes hear about as well as a humans when they plug ther ears.
Next week's fun fact: 8. Snakes only have 1 usable lung. Their left lung is so small it is not vestigial and no longer useable. This is so that snakes can maintain their elongated shape. Because of this, snakes can only use their right lung.
I am making fun facts to help to get people interested in reptiles. I include the next week's fun fact to try to encourage people to come to my website so that they can learn more about reptiles and what we can do to help them!
