Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the same group as lizards (the scaled group, Squamata) but from a subgroup of their own (Serpentes).

Snakes don't have legs but a long time ago they had claws to help them slither along. Snakes are not slimy. They are covered in scales which are just bumps on the skin. Their skin is hard and glossy to reduce friction as the snake slithers along the ground.

Snakes often sunbathe on rocks in the warm weather. This is because snakes are cold-blooded; they need the sun's warmth to heat their bodies up. Most snakes live in the country. Some types of snakes live in trees, some live in water, but most live on the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick, long grass and in old logs.

A snake's diet usually consists of frogs, lizard, mice, and other snakes. Anacondas can eat small crocodiles and even bears. Many snakes protect themselves with their fangs. Some snakes are protected by scaring their enemies away like the cobra. The flying snakes glide away from danger. Their ribs spread apart and the skin stretches out. Their technique is just like the sugar gliders.

12. We know from the text that snakes ....
A. do not have claws
B. do not like sunlight
C. have two legs and claws
D. use their claws to slither along the ground
