Is newzealand the only snakeless country?

Answer 1

Millions of years ago, there were snakes in what is now New Zealand. A combination of the ice-age and New Zealand's disconnection from the 'mainland', has resulted in the extinction and non-return of all land snakes. Notice, I say land snakes, because, in fact, New Zealand does get the occasional but rare visit from sea snakes.

Answer 2

how come every second you turn around in Australia there is something ready to bite, sting or attack youyet in New Zealand there is nothing? Is there a reason for this or are there poisonous creatures that I do not knw about?

Answer 3

There are no snakes native to New Zealand.

Answer 4

New Zealand is a very mountainous country hence canals would not be possible. We do however have some very navigable rivers.

Answer 5

Actually - they COULD survive quite happily ! For example - the reptiles native to mainland Britain would be perfectly happy in Ireland - It's just that they never colonised those countries.

Answer 6

New Zealand does not have any snakes, venomous or otherwise. Its only venomous native creature is one species of spider.

Answer 7

Because New Zealand is awesome.

Answer 8

yes
