A snake will usually try to flee or hide when threatened. A few species will play dead if confronted by a predator. If cornered or captured many snakes will bite their attacker. Some species have venom that can made a bite extremely painful and possibly fatal. Other snakes can release a foul-smelling musk to drive away predators.
