1.22.25: Snakesss

Sliding silently through shadows, snakes are the slick stars of the wild, masters of survival and suspense. Their sinuous movements scream stealth as they stalk prey with precision, then strike like a snap of static. Some shimmer in sunlight, their scales sparkling like scattered sapphires, while others slink in sinister shades, secretive and shadow-bound. With split tongues sampling scents and sinuous bodies slipping into unseen spaces, they’re the sneaky spies of nature. Whether they suffocate with crushing squeezes or sink venomous fangs into their supper, snakes are spellbinding. Love them or shudder at them, their story is simply spectacular.
