Answer 1

Unlike the mammals,the snake's resp system contains a long right lung & a small left lung.The longer lung covers almost two third of the body.The shorter one is the rudimentary one. The utility of such a long lung is well understandable in snakes that,while negotiating a swalloed prey item,there might long period of air hunger.when vital oxygination of cells could take place from residual lung air. Amazingly snakes could tolerate very low conc of oxygen to survive.
