This book is about to take you around the world to visit some of the deadliest snakes on the planet.
Some snakes are mostly harmless to people, such as garter snakes, rat snakes, and green snakes that can be found
in fields and around ponds and don’t attack people unless they are bothered. But this book is not about them—oh
no. While all snakes prey on living creatures, this book is about the specialized hunters with venomous fangs and the ability to constrict
prey. You’ll find out about cobras and
vipers, which are deadly snakes
that pack strong enough venom to kill animals—and even people— with one bite. You’ll also learn about constrictors like pythons and boas— the predators that slowly squeeze the life out of their prey.
Within this book, you’ll find some of
the most feared, terrifying, and awesome
creatures in the animal kingdom. They come
in all colors, patterns, and sizes and can be found
slithering across land, in water, and even in the air
(I’m not kidding!), but they are all fierce and fantastic reptiles.
