Snakes

A porcupine's entire body, with the exception of the belly and legs, is covered with sharp quills. The porcupine's quills, which are actually hardened, barbed hairs, are its primary source of protection. Porcupines cannot "throw" their quills as is popularly thought. They can, however, slap their quilled tail with lightning speed in the direction of an attacker. If a predator comes too close, it is likely to get a nose or mouth full of sharp quills that will work deeper and deeper into the flesh, causing a nasty infection and in extreme cases, possible death. A single porcupine may have upwards of 30,000 quills, more than 100 per square inch. Native Americans once used the quills as needles, and as ornaments on clothing. They were also used in the making of Native American warriors' breastplates. Porcupines are amazing climbers. They have been sighted over 60 feet up in the tops of trees, particularly cottonwoods, and these animals are extremely agile. Porcupines are herbivorous, feeding on bark and twigs, and prefer to eat softwoods, such as pine, elm and poplar. These rodents love salt and will seek it out. This craving leads them to eat such things as succulent plants, saddle leather, and the occasional shovel handle. In some areas, the porcupine's love for salt can get it into trouble. They will eat just about anything with a salty taste, including rose bushes, lily pads, garden produce and even car tires. Porcupines have been known to eat gardening equipment, wood siding on homes and yard furniture. Even when feeding only on trees, porcupines can cause problems. They can strip so much bark off the tree that it dies. There are some products that can discourage porcupines from literally eating you out of house and home. Most of these are liquid sprays that taste terrible to the porcupine. Another option for controlling problem porcupines is trapping and relocation. In northern climates, a natural predator of the porcupine, the fisher, is sometimes introduced into an area to control porcupine populations. Fishers are a type of weasel and are about the size of a large house cat. Other predators of the porcupine include the bobcat, and where found, the timber wolf, and wolverine. These animals are quick, and are able to flip the porcupine onto to its back in order to expose it's soft, unprotected belly. In Oklahoma, only the bobcat, and occasionally the coyote, are natural predators of the porcupine. Porcupines mate in the fall and give birth about 112 days later in the spring. They usually have only one offspring, called a porcupette, and twins are rare. The porcupine's quills are soft at birth and harden within their first hour of existence. They can eat solid food in about two weeks. Unlike their stoic parents, porcupettes are quite playful.

No. There is not a set tongue color for poisonousand harmless snakes. A garter snake has both red and black on its tongue

they eat frogs, tadpools, rabbits, mice, rats, birds, chickens, little girls named Emily

No. Rattlesnakes do not eat bugs or any other insects.

Rattlesnake are Carnivores. They consume Mice, Rats, Small Birds and other small rodents that inhabit the habitats they live in. They play an important ecological role by limiting the size of rodent populations in their ecosystems. Rattlesnakes lay motionless for their prey and kill it quickly with a venomous bite. Even if the prey is lucky enough to run off, it will die soon and the Rattlesnake will follow the scent and then swallow it. They are on top of their food chain, but they have some animals like the King Snake on top of it.

The timber rattlesnake and the eastern massasauga rattlesnake are both found in Wisconsin. Both snakes live in the southwestern part of the state.

No. Hamsters have to eat lots of Vitamin C, much more than your snake needs, so don't feed that to your snake or he will die. Same with guiena pigs, gerbils, and other small mammals (except mice/rats.)

welll they are succesful in there enviorment because they eat all the food they want.

20 to 30 years depending on the enviorment.

maybe ask jesus

I wouldn't bet my life on it even blinding him. More likely to just tick him off.

Because they have so many teeth and no toothbrush. But in all seriousness, their medulla oblongata is larger than a normal animal's. The medulla oblongata produces angry, crabby, and agressive moods.

There are different species of snakes which are black, some are dangerous and some are not. If you are in any doubt it is better to asume that it might be dangerous and leave it well alone. The black mamba is one of the most deadly snakes in the world.

Pretty much anthing would eat them, but mainly all Birds of Prey and fox, maybe a coyote or wolf.

some snakes spend all there time underwater like the sea snake

others go underwater or on land like the Anaconda

and some prefer to stay on land most of the time like the rattlesnake

i think all snakes can co under water if they want to or to get food

The fastest land snake in the world is the aggressive black mamba found in the southern part of tropical Africa. You might have heard stories about this snake overtaking people on galloping horses but although these snakes are fast, they aren't that fast. They can reach top speeds of 10-12 mph (16-19 km/hr) in short bursts over level ground - good luck trying to outrun one of these snakes if you tick it off!

some do eg. rats and mice and other small like animals(also the otter) but mostly birds eat them, ive heard hedghogs do to!

Place the affected limb below the level of the heart.

Snakes generally strike very fast and let go, so it is not terribly painful with a small snake like a corn snake, probably similar to a paper cut.

Corn snakes , although docile , can bite. they dont have fangs , just a few very tiny teeth . and it doesnt hurt , just a few pricks

Depends what species of snake and the type of venom. Snake venom can clot the blood, cause massive haemorrhage, shut down the nervous system or cause necrosis.

Very few animals are large enough. The sticking point is the breadth of a human's shoulders. Few creatures can distend their jaws enough to work past this obstacle. A large great white shark could do it, or possibly a sperm whale. A large killer whale might be able to.

Among terrestrial animals, there are none known that could swallow a large adult male human. There are several snakes (anaconda, Burmese python, Reticulated python, possibly ) that could swallow a small woman or child if the snake in question was a very large specimen.

VERY. A bite from a Copperhead Rattle Snake can be FATAL. Additionally, most juvenile snakes of any species usually have more concentrated Venom than the adult. So they are potentially deadlier.

Coral snakes have these colors. Below is a picture
