How many snakes are poisonous in the world? Of the 2400 species that are known only 200 are poisonous.

Are there poisonous snakes in the United States? If there are four kinds of poisonous snakes in the United States, they are: the North American snake, the rattlesnake, the moccasin of water and the coral snake; of the 4 the coral is the one that has the most powerful poison. Fortunately the coral snake is very small and it is difficult to bite people, the poison of the other three classes is very slow and the victim has time to see a doctor to give him an antidote. The most venomous European snake is the viper, and it does not have as many contemplations as the North American snakes, although it only lives in mountainous places.

Do the bells of the rattlesnake sound? At the end of the tail of the crotalo or rattlesnake there is a series of hard rings, made of a material similar to the nails. When this snake gets angry, it usually shakes its tail. Then the hard rings collide with each other and produce a dry noise like that of the castanets, which is why it is also called rattlesnakes, which means castanets.

Can snakes be enchanted? No, in India the men called snake charmers play music and cobras seem to dance when they hear it, but they do not actually dance, snakes can not even hear music ... because they are completely deaf! Instead, they notice the vibrations of the floor while playing their instrument, the snake charmer takes the rhythm of the music with his foot, the cobra perceives the blows of the foot, gets angry and gets ready to attack. But before launching to bite, the cobra stares at its victim and follows all its movements, and this is precisely what the cobra does in front of the snake charmer. The snake charmer risked a lot by angering the cobra in this way, the cobras have a very powerful poison and often bite people. But snake charmers know how to avoid the attack. They have to know their work by force !, also some snake charmers, to be sure they pull out the tusks of cobras.
