Is it possible for another species of animal to evolve like humans?

Whales once had legs and lived on the land. They evolved from a terrestrial ungulate (most likely) known as a mesonychid. Snakes also once had legs. Bats gradually evolved wings and the ability to use echolocation (sonar).

Human evolution was pretty minor compared to these other creatures. We evolved skill with language. That seems pretty minor, to me, compared to the ability to fly and snatch bugs out of the air in the dark. Bats are amazing creatures.

Are snake bites in winter common?

That depends on what your winter weather is like. Very cold weather, with a prolonged cooling down period before, gives the snakes a chance to find a good place to winter and therefore not be disturbed during it's sleep. Places that don't really get cold during the winter, or just have slight dips of cooler weather at night and then get warmer during the day, often have people, snake encounters that end badly for both parties. Spring time is a bad time for bites in some parts of the U.S. because snakes are starting to become active again, but are still disoriented, while people are digging around their yards for spring cleaning. Many times a snake will strike during the colder months because it is confused and disoriented. Having just woken and being very unfocused it is slower and feels at a disadvantage, sometimes it will strike, when, during regular conditions, it would have run and tried to escape. One thing to always remember when dealing with a wild snake especially, during hard weather changes is, that the snake doesn't want to be where you are anymore than most people want him there. Try to remain calm and move in a slow clear manner away from the snake, Don't make any sudden fast jerky movements towards the snake , this is a trigger and if they are just recently distrubed, quick movements are seen as threatening, and cause for a bite.

Infra-sound signals are sound waves below 20 Hz. These cannot be sensed by the human ear, but the main advantage of this is that it can travel long distances without distortion.

What are the eating habits of carnivorous animals?

There are 3 main eating habits of all animals. Animals that eat only plants, grass, leaves etc. are called "herbivorous animals". Examples of these would be cows, horses, goats etc in the domestic scene and deer, zebras, girraffes etc in the wild.

Animals that eat only other animals are called "carnivorous animals". Examples of these would be lions, tigers, snakes etc. You won't find many tamed carnivorous animals buts cats & dogs prefer to eat meat rather than leaves.

That leads us to the group of animals that like to eat both plants and animals. Infact some of them like the rat, can eat almost anything. This group of animals are called "omnivorous animals". Most humans are omnivorous, though there are some who will eat only plant life and avoid eating even eggs, fish and milk because of religious or ethnic reasons. Some have made personal choices to eat only vegetarian food because they understand that the human body is best suited for vegetarian food and finds it comparatively difficult to digest meat.

Can a snake kill itself by biting itself?

I am just taking a stab. But, all things considered, i would say yes. I don't know if you could find me a snake that would do that to itself. If you are referring to the venom it can hold and distribute, think about this. King snakes kill each other all the time with venom. One would think that two snakes of the same species would carry identical venom. Making anti-venom possible. If all venom had a change in it, anti-venom couldn't exist.

There are different legends about this question; however, venomous snakes avoid the self-poisoning in many ways, like keeping the poison inside closed structures, neutralizing it with their saliva or, simply, the poison has no effect on them, depeding from the composition of the poison: lipophil enzimes, peptides, "alkaloids", wich have different biochemical properties; however, snakes, often, are self-immune.
