Reptiles

It sure can! Cajun gator hunters in Louisiana use .22LR and .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire to dispatch the gators with head shots before bringing them into the boats. A .22 is no joke. The high velocity fired from a rifle can penetrate 6 inches of pine at short range and has a maximum range of a mile. the .22 WMR is even more powerful, with almost a 2-mile range.

The sidewinder snake protects itself from heat by burrowing into the sand to find cooler temperatures and avoid direct sunlight. This behavior helps regulate its body temperature and prevent overheating in hot desert environments. Additionally, the snake may be active during cooler times of the day to minimize exposure to extreme heat.

There are a multitude of evolutionary effects that aid reptiles in survival on land. Their scaly skin, for starters, help them in living day to day in such harsh conditions, [blasting sand in the desert, murky waters in the forest, etc.] Fur is too tedious to maintain, and can fester bugs, mites, fleas and can harbor many skin problems, including fungi and diseases. Their razor sharp teeth fuel their carnivorous needs, helping to rip apart their food and crush enough to be digested, [The bronchiosaurus used to swallow rocks after it ate to help crush and digest it's food thoroughly, due to it's flat teeth] Their cold-blooded system helps conserve energy. As humans, our body expends grandiose amounts of energy in order to keep up warm to maintain our bodliy functions. By being cold-blooded, reptiles can conserve that energy for other things, and the energy needs to be used extremely efficiently due to scarcity in some places like the desert. These are just a few of the characteristics that aid reptiles in survival!

There are partially confirmed reports of something, wholly aquatic with a sepentine b ody form and 45 Meters in length ( that's l50 feet) operating in the Amazon and with a camouflage pattern. There is no conning tower so it is not an experimental sub. That Amazon is something else- a 45M aquatic snake is something to be expected from the world"s largest JUNGLE.

Viper is a type of snake and their are different types, also called Natters or Adders in Germanic areas. The term Viper is rather lose. The Puff Adder, considered in the Viper group can puff up its head like a Cobra and hiss, but is non-venomous. other types of Viper such as the Gaboon, are indeed poisonous reptiles. Viper is used in poetic license for any large snake known to be dangerous, like the originally French usage of Requiem sharks- maybe they go out of their way to eat dead bodies! it is more of a flag of convenience, Vipers. Viper-Fire refers to synchronized, angle-aiming automatic weapons fire- and was used in Vietnam. Viper-fire was often conducted from helicopters, firing machine guns in short but destructive bursts. the sound effect of Viper Fire was used in the recording of the Star Wars theme.

Mammals have higher metabolic rates than reptiles, which means they generate more heat internally. This excess heat needs to be released to maintain a stable internal temperature, so mammals lose more heat energy through mechanisms like sweating, panting, and shivering. Reptiles have lower metabolic rates and can rely on external sources of heat, like the sun, to regulate their body temperature.

Captain Hook was afraid of crocodiles in the story of Peter Pan. He feared the crocodile that had bitten off his hand, and the ticking of the clock inside the crocodile served as a constant reminder of his fear.

No, the term "reptile" does not have an opposite in the same way that some words have antonyms. "Reptile" is a specific classification for certain cold-blooded vertebrates, so there is no direct opposite term for it.

It depends on the snakes.

Many snakes are immune to the venomous snakes that live in the same geographic areas. Most snakes, if not all, are immune to their own venom, but this is an evolutionary process produced over the past 100 million years. If two snakes of the same species bit each other, there would most likely be no effect from the venom.

If two snakes of different species, from different parts of the world bit each other, it is very likely that both snakes would experience a strong reaction to the other's venom.

Biting a venomous snake is not harmful as long as the stored venom is avoided. Even then, venom is not dangerous if swallowed, but is very dangerous if it enters an open wound on the biter's skin or mouth. Many birds, snakes and other animals kill and eat venomous snakes. Some have varying degrees of immunity and some are just careful.

The pig is believed to get its immunity to snake bite from its thick layer of fat.

because of destruction of their habitat
All crocodiles are not endangered. The American crocodile is endangered only in the U.S. part of its range, and numbers are increasing here. But in other parts of its tropical range, it is doing well. The orinoco crocodile of South America is a threatened species, as is the gavial of India. The African dwarf crocodile is in trouble, as is the Chinese alligator.

Some desert snakes are active at night (nocturnal) to avoid the extreme heat during the day. However, others are diurnal and are active during the daytime. It often depends on factors such as species, location, and temperature.

the latin name for crocodile is 'crocodilius'!! =P

Copperhead snakes are most active during the early morning and late evening when temperatures are cooler. They are also known to be active at night during warmer months.

all reptiles have scales

such as lizards and snakes and stuff like that

Snakes do not build nests like birds or mammals do. Instead, they may lay their eggs in a burrow, under debris, in rotting logs, or in other hidden spots that provide warmth and protection for their eggs. The location can vary depending on the species and environmental conditions.

There are several million alligators living currently. It is no longer even a threatened species, and is doing just fine in the southeastern United States. There are estimated to be up to 2 million in Louisiana alone.

200,000

There are over one million American alligators left but it was at the brink of extinction

The American alligator's population is now over three million, from North Carolina to Texas.

The flag with four snakes on it belongs to Martinique, a French overseas department located in the Caribbean. The snakes on the flag symbolize the native fauna of the island.

Archelon was one of the largest turtles to have ever lived, with a shell length of up to 13 feet (4 meters) and could weigh as much as 4,500 pounds (2,000 kilograms). It lived during the Late Cretaceous period, around 70-65 million years ago.

Brown snakes can be found in various habitats such as forests, grasslands, deserts, and suburban areas throughout North America, Australia, and parts of Africa. They prefer areas with plenty of available prey and cover for protection.

A crocodile is a large reptile that belongs to the order Crocodylia. They are known for their long, pointed snouts, powerful jaws, and armored bodies. Crocodiles are semi-aquatic and can be found in freshwater habitats such as rivers, lakes, and swamps.

The species with long tail, eyelids, and four sprawling legs is a lizard.

Well it maters if the snake has enough poison. If it does not it can not kill an elephant.

Sea animals breathe through their gills,which are found under the gill cover.Water enters the animals's mouth and dissolved oxygen will flow all the way into the animal's blood stream while water that does not contain any oxygen will be flowing out of the gills.

The snake you are referring to is likely the Coral Snake. Coral snakes have distinctive black, yellow, and red bands that encircle their bodies. They are known for their venomous bite and should be avoided in the wild.
