Africa is home to over 700 snake species, from massive pythons capable of swallowing antelope to minute thread snakes that feed on ant eggs. This accessible, user-friendly book explores the fascinating lives of the continent’s snakes, covering their anatomy, venom, senses and behaviour, as well as common myths and misconceptions. It includes: * The evolutionary history of snakes, with profiles of the eight families found in Africa today * Detailed notes on inner and outer anatomy, explaining why these limbless creatures flourish in every corner of the continent * In-depth explanations of snake behaviours, such as diverse hunting techniques and defence mechanisms * Profiles of particularly interesting species, such as the highly specialised egg-eater and the aquatic yellow-bellied sea snake * Answers to dozens of frequently asked questions: Which species is the most dangerous? How do snakes swallow prey that are larger than their head? * Breakdown of handy diagnostic characteristics to help identify snakes in the wild
