Snakes lack external ears and eyelids. Instead, they detect ground vibrations and use a forked tongue to "smell" by collecting chemical particles from the air. Snakes evolved from lizards, likely burrowing or aquatic

are elongated, limbless reptiles belonging to the suborder . While often feared, they are evolutionary marvels with highly specialized biology and a vital role in maintaining the balance of global ecosystems. 1. Evolutionary Origins and Adaptations Snakes evolved from lizards

Instead of legs, they use 200–400 vertebrae and powerful muscles to slither, climb, or even swim. likely burrowing or aquatic ancestors

All snakes are carnivorous, but their methods of subduing prey vary significantly: Snake species classification using deep learning techniques
