    Snakes are known to be: - ProProfs

    Snakes are known to be:

    • Venomous

    • Poisonous

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Venomous
    Explanation
    Snakes are known to be venomous because they possess venom glands and fangs that allow them to inject venom into their prey or potential threats. Venom is a toxic substance that can cause harm or even death to the victim. Snakes use their venom for hunting and self-defense purposes. On the other hand, the term "poisonous" refers to organisms that are harmful when ingested or touched, but snakes are not considered poisonous because their venom needs to be injected into the bloodstream to cause harm. Therefore, the correct answer is venomous.

    What of these does snake not do?

    • Lay eggs

    • Crawl

    • Climb trees

    • Fly

    Correct Answer
    A. Fly
    Explanation
    Snakes do not fly. While they can crawl, climb trees, and lay eggs, they do not have the ability to fly. Snakes move by slithering on the ground or climbing trees using their muscles and scales. They do not have wings or any other adaptations that would allow them to fly. Flying is a characteristic typically associated with birds, bats, and insects, but not snakes.

    Correct Answer
    A. King Cobra
    Explanation
    The King Cobra is the largest venomous snake, growing up to 18 feet in length. It is known for its ability to raise its upper body off the ground and expand its hood when threatened. The venom of the King Cobra is highly potent and can cause paralysis or even death in its prey. It is found in forests and jungles of Southeast Asia and is known for its aggressive nature.

    Snakes are: - ProProfs

    Snakes are:

    • Warm Blooded

    • Normal Blooded

    • Cold Blooded

    Correct Answer
    A. Cold Blooded
    Explanation
    Snakes are cold-blooded. This means that their body temperature is regulated by their environment, rather than generating heat internally. They rely on external heat sources, such as the sun or warm surfaces, to raise their body temperature. As a result, snakes are more active in warmer temperatures and tend to slow down or become dormant in colder temperatures. Being cold-blooded allows snakes to conserve energy and survive in various habitats with different temperature ranges.

    Snakes can't do what? - ProProfs

    Snakes can't do what?

    • Can't digest

    • Can't breathe

    • Can't hear

    • Can't make sound

    Correct Answer
    A. Can't hear
    Explanation
    Snakes can't hear because they lack external ears and eardrums. While they do have inner ears, they are not designed to pick up sound vibrations in the air like humans and many other animals. Instead, snakes rely on vibrations that travel through the ground to sense their surroundings. This allows them to detect prey, predators, and potential mates. Therefore, the correct answer is that snakes can't hear.

    Which of these snakes build nest to lay eggs?

    • Female Cobra

    • Female Anaconda

    • Female Rattle Snake

    • Female Python

    Correct Answer
    A. Female Cobra
    Explanation
    Female cobras do not build nests to lay eggs. Instead, they lay their eggs in hidden locations such as holes or under vegetation. This behavior is common among many snake species, including cobras. The other options, female anacondas, female rattlesnakes, and female pythons, also do not build nests to lay eggs. Instead, they typically lay their eggs in warm, protected areas such as burrows or under rocks.
