How does the sidewinder adapt to the desert climate?
The sidewinder is a kind of snake for starters. It lives in deserts, and such needs certain features to survive. As its name would suggest it uses a sideways motion to move quickly on effectively over the loose sand without sinking or upsetting much sand. As it is reptillian in nature, it sunbathes to keep its temperature high during the day, and during th cold night has adapted to bury itself underneath the sand to maintain its body heat. that doesnt really tell much
Is a snake cold blood?
Snake blood can be cold or warm depending on the ambient temperature. Snakes are ectothermic, and they rely on external heat and cold to regulate their body temperature.
This animal Has heat sensors on its upper lip to find prey?
The animal with heat sensors on its upper lip to find prey is the pit viper, a type of venomous snake. These heat-sensing pits allow the snake to detect infrared radiation and locate warm-blooded prey in complete darkness.
What do they call people who are obsessed with snakes?
Herpetologists are experts on all reptiles, not just snakes. the adjectives Ophidian and Serpentine apply to the serpentine creatures proper. Ophidomania might me a manic condition about snakes. There was an electronic device called and ophidian thermocouple- a heat sensor- that was actually patterned after one installed ( by nature) in a sidewinder snake. Ophidomania- condition, Ophidiomaniac- snake maniac! beware. I knew a guy like that when I was a kid- first it was Icthyology ( fish biology) then, by Gawrsh, he diverged into reptiles. used to panic half the class bringing in manuals on reptiles to class!
How can the rat and snake obtain indirectly use the energy from the sun?
the snake uses energy from the sun to heat itself
How does a side winder keep cool in the heat?
Its only due to the mode of locomotion.With a very complex feat it performs its side winding motion.While moving in hot sand it only touches in two places in any given time.Thus the snake protect itself from the heat.
Why do elephants need to protect itself from heat?
because they don't want to burn themeselves from the suns heat

When was the heat seeking missile invented?
I can get you going in the right direction but don't know the actual date. The Sidewinder Missile was developed at the Naval Weapons Center in China Lake California in the 1950's. It was named the sidewinder because the base is located in the upper Mohave desert and has a huge population of Sidewinder Rattlesnakes. So, if you look up Sidewinder Missiles you will be on your way to success.
Can snake heat?
no
Why does the sidewinder move sideways?
There are two explanations: 1. Efficiency - The Sidewinder lives generally in dry, hot and sandy environments. The normal mode of propulsion of snakes requires a somewhat solid surface, as the belly scales, moved in a peristaltic fashion, push against the surface. In a environment with very loose sand, which can act almost like a fluid, the scales find very little resistance and hence would produce very little propulsion. The motion of the sidewinder uses entire segments of its body to act as a "foot" or "stand" from which to propel itself forward, then re-coils and starts over, thus affording it more resistance from the sand and in turn better propulsion. 2. Heat - By keeping only intermittent contact with the sand the snake lowers its heat absorption and prolongs the time it can spend in the open. While both explanations are perfectly reasonable, it seem to make more sense that the evolutionary reason for the Sidewinder's movement is most likely the propulsion, where as the heat aspect is a minor benefit.
Who was bitten by a poisonous snake with no effects?
From the Bible: Paul gathered a pile of brushwood and, as he put it on the fire, a viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself on his hand. But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.? Paul did not seek out to handle a snake. The snake bit Paul, but God protected Paul from the effects of the snake bite.
What are the function of the rat fur?
to provide heat to itself, protect itself from predator, and adapt to nature
Why do shoes protect feet from the heat?
Shoes do not conduct heat therefore they protect feet from heat.
How do snakes get the right climate?
Snakes are cold blooded, which simply means that it's body temperature changes with the temperature of it's surroundings. Snakes can raise or lower their own body temperature. For example, if a snake's body temperature begins to drop, it can raise it's temperature by lying in the sun. Most times a snake can be found "sunning itself" on rocky surfaces. This is an excellent heat source, as rocks are conductors of heat. Anotheradvantage to this is that rocks and crevices can provide shelter from predators, as well as providing shade if the snake needs to cool itself.
How does an anteater protect itself in harsh weather?
Yes, It coveres its body with its hairy tail (which acts like a duvet) which reduces heat loss
