SNAKES
Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the same group
as lizards (the scaled group, Squamata) but from a sub-group of their own
(Serpentes).
Snakes have two legs but a long time ago they had claws to help them slither
along. Snakes are not slimy. They are covered in scales which are just bumps
on the skin. Their skin is hard and glossy to reduce friction as the snake
slithers along the ground.
Snakes often sun bathe on rocks in the warm weather. This is because snakes
are cold-blooded; they need the sun’s warmth to heat their bodies up.
Most snakes live in the country. Some types of snakes live in tress, some live
in water, but most live on the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick,
long grass and in old logs.
A snake’s diet usually consists of frogs, lizard, and mice and other snakes.
The Anaconda can eat small crocodiles and even bears. Many snakes protect
themselves with their fangs. Some snakes are protected by scaring their
enemies away like the Cobra. The flying snakes glide away from danger. Their
ribs spread apart and the skin stretches out. Its technique is just like the
sugar gliders.

Napoleon is a favorite fish for divers in many regions of the world. The fish
can instantly be recognized by its size, color and shape. It is one of the
largest reef fish in the world. They can grow up to 230 cm and weigh 190 kg.
They have fleshy lips and a hump over the head that is similar to a napoleon
hat. The Hump becomes more prominent with age.
Colors vary with age and sex. Males range from a bright electric blue to green
or purplish blue. Mature males develop a black stripe along the sides, blue
spots on their body scales, and blue scribbles on the head. Juveniles can be
identified by their pale greenish color and two black lines running behind the
eye. Females, both old and young, are red-orange on the upper parts of their
bodies and red-orange to white yellow.
Napoleon fish are carnivorous and eat during the day. They can be seen
feasting on shellfish, other fish, sea stars, sea urchins and crabs, crushing
the shells to get the animal within. They also crush large chunks of dead coral
rubble with peg-like teeth to feed on the burrowing mussels and worms.
Pairs spawn together as part of a larger mating group that may consist of
over 100 individuals. The planktonic eggs are released into the water, and
once the larvae have hatched they will settle out on the substrate. Adult
females are able to change sex but the triggers for this development are not
yet known.
The Napoleon is mainly found on coral reef edges and drop-offs. They move
into shallow bays during the day to feed, and tend to move into deeper waters
as they grow older and large. Adults, therefore, are more common offshore
than inshore.
