This study unit explores the fascinating world of snake patterns and markings. Snakes display incredible diversity in their appearance, with patterns that can change from head to tail and differ between their backs and bellies. Each individual snake has unique markings, making species identification challenging even within the same group.
Snake patterns serve a crucial purpose—they provide excellent camouflage that helps these predators hunt successfully in their natural habitats. Understanding these patterns is key to appreciating how snakes have adapted to their environments.
