Text I (Questions 13-17)

Our fellow creatures on this earth include about 2500 species of snakes. To understand a snake's life is to encounter some of the most amazing adaptations in the world of nature. A snake never closes its eyes: it has no eyelids. A snake can engulf prey far bigger than its mouth; giant snakes such as Asia's pythons are capable of swallowing a deer. Some poisonous snakes, like the African mamba, are so deadly that men have died from a bite in 5 less than one minute. The harmless snakes of our fields and gardens have such odd endowments as a stomach that can digest bones and a yellow eye lens that gives sharpened vision by filtering out ultraviolet rays.
