Snake
Snakes are elongated limbless reptiles of the suborder Serpentes (). Cladistically squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniote vertebrates covered in overlapping scales much like other members of the group. Many species of snakes have skulls with several more joints than their lizard ancestors and relatives, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their heads ( cranial kinesis). To accommodate their narrow bodies, snakes' paired organs (such as kidneys) appear one in front of the other instead of side by side, and most only have one functional lung. Some species retain a pelvic girdle with a pair of vestigial claws on either side of the cloaca. Lizards have independently evolved elongate bodies without limbs or with greatly reduced limbs at least twenty-five times via convergent evolution, leading to many lineages of legless lizards. These resemble snakes, but several common groups of legless lizards have eyelids and external ears, which snakes lack, althoug ...

Snakes Of Nigeria
A number of snake species occur in Nigeria. Of these only two are endemic to the country: '' Gonionotophis egbensis'', a file snake, and '' Tricheilostoma greenwelli'', a threadsnake. Species Venomous Venomous species occurring in Nigeria are in the families Viperidae, Elapidae, and Atractaspidinae. Viperidae include the carpet viper, the puff adder, the Gaboon viper, and the night adder. They are characterised by their heavily built muscular bodies with black patches for camouflage. Elapidae include the black-necked spitting cobra, the Egyptian cobra and the Mali cobra. Atractaspidinae are a family of small, inoffensive snakes with low chances of envenoming. Native examples include mole vipers, stiletto snakes, and burrowing asps. Most cases of envenomation are caused by the West African carpet viper, the black-necked spitting cobra, and the puff adder. Non-venomous Non-venomous snakes include examples from the Colubridae and the pythons. References {{Reflist ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Taxonomy (general)
280px, Generalized scheme of taxonomy Taxonomy is a practice and science concerned with classification or categorization. Typically, there are two parts to it: the development of an underlying scheme of classes (a taxonomy) and the allocation of things to the classes (classification). Originally, taxonomy referred only to the classification of organisms on the basis of shared characteristics. Today it also has a more general sense. It may refer to the classification of things or concepts, as well as to the principles underlying such work. Thus a taxonomy can be used to organize species, documents, videos or anything else. A taxonomy organizes taxonomic units known as "taxa" (singular "taxon"). Many are hierarchies. One function of a taxonomy is to help users more easily find what they are searching for. This may be effected in ways that include a library classification system and a search engine taxonomy. Etymology The word was coined in 1813 by the Swiss botanist A ...

Snakes
Snakes are elongated Limbless vertebrate, limbless reptiles of the suborder Serpentes ().

Reptiles
Reptiles, as commonly defined, are a group of tetrapods with an ectothermic metabolism and Amniotic egg, amniotic development. Living traditional reptiles comprise four Order (biology), orders: Testudines, Crocodilia, Squamata, and Rhynchocephalia. About 12,000 living species of reptiles are listed in the Reptile Database. The study of the traditional reptile orders, customarily in combination with the study of modern amphibians, is called herpetology. Reptiles have been subject to several conflicting Taxonomy, taxonomic definitions. In Linnaean taxonomy, reptiles are gathered together under the Class (biology), class Reptilia ( ), which corresponds to common usage. Modern Cladistics, cladistic taxonomy regards that group as Paraphyly, paraphyletic, since Genetics, genetic and Paleontology, paleontological evidence has determined that birds (class Aves), as members of Dinosauria, are more closely related to living crocodilians than to other reptiles, and are thus nested among re ...

List Of Snakes Of Trinidad And Tobago
Forty-seven species of snake have been recorded in Trinidad and Tobago, making the snake population of this area the most diverse in the Caribbean. Forty-four of these snake species are found in Trinidad and twenty-one in Tobago. Many of these species are South American, most of which are present in Venezuela. Trinidad and Tobago consists of two main islands, Trinidad and Tobago, and several smaller islands. The Bocas Islands, which lie between Trinidad and Venezuela, in the Bocas del Dragón (''Dragon's Mouths''), consist of Chacachacare, Monos, Huevos and Gaspar Grande. Several smaller islands lie off Trinidad, but snakes have been recorded on only one of them, Caledonia Island. Snakes have been recorded on one island off Tobago, Little Tobago. Four species are venomous: two coral snake species (''Micrurus'' spp.The abbreviation "sp." indicates a single species and the abbreviation "spp." indicates multiple species.), the fer-de-lance (''Bothrops atrox'') and the South ...

List Of Snakes In North Macedonia
A list is a set of discrete items of information collected and set forth in some format for utility, entertainment, or other purposes. A list may be memorialized in any number of ways, including existing only in the mind of the list-maker, but lists are frequently written down on paper, or maintained electronically. Lists are "most frequently a tool", and "one does not ''read'' but only ''uses'' a list: one looks up the relevant information in it, but usually does not need to deal with it as a whole".Lucie Doležalová,The Potential and Limitations of Studying Lists, in Lucie Doležalová, ed., ''The Charm of a List: From the Sumerians to Computerised Data Processing'' (2009). Purpose It has been observed that, with a few exceptions, "the scholarship on lists remains fragmented". David Wallechinsky, a co-author of ''The Book of Lists'', described the attraction of lists as being "because we live in an era of overstimulation, especially in terms of information, and lists help us ...

List Of Largest Snakes
The largest living snakes in the world, measured either by length or by weight, are various members of the Boidae and Pythonidae families. They include anacondas, Python (genus), pythons and boa constrictors, which are all non-venomous Constriction, constrictors. The longest venomous snake, with a length up to , is the king cobra, while contesters for the heaviest title include the Gaboon viper and the Eastern diamondback rattlesnake. All of these three species reach a maximum mass in the range of . There are fourteen or fifteen living snake species that clearly have a maximum mass of at least , as shown in the table below. Whether the number is fourteen or fifteen depends on whether a DNA analysis reported in 2024 results in the recognition of the northern green anaconda ("''Eunectes akayima''", listed in row 1b below) as a species distinct from the ordinary (southern) green anaconda (''Eunectes murinus''). These include all species that reach a length of at least . There are also ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
