A snake is basically a long, slithery noodle that has decided legs are overrated. It’s like a fancy worm that took a wrong turn and ended up in a jungle. Instead of arms, it just wiggles around, and its main fashion accessory is a shiny scale coat. Snakes also come with a built-in surprise feature: they can swallow things whole, which is either impressive or really gross, depending on your perspective. They silently creep around, often pretending to be a garden hose or a stick until they decide to show their true "slinky" self.
