7. SPITTING COBRAS EXHIBIT DEADLY
ACCURACY
Researchers have discovered why spitting
cobras are so accurate at spraying venom
into the eyes of potential adversaries. The
cobras first track the movements of their
attacker, then aim their venom at a
predicted location where the attacker's
eyes will be in the future. The ability to
spray venom is a defense mechanism
employed by some cobras to debilitate an
attacker. Spitting cobras can spray their
blinding venom as far as six feet.
According to researchers, cobras spray
their venom in complex patterns in order to
maximize the chances of hitting their
target. Using high-speed photography and
electromyography (EMG), researchers were
able to see muscle movements in the
cobra's head and neck. These contractions
cause the cobra's head to swing back and
forth rapidly producing the complex
spraying patterns. Cobras are deadly
accurate, hitting their target nearly 100
percent of the time within 2 feet.

6. SNAKE VENOM MAY HELP PREVENT STROKE Researchers are studying snake venom properties in the hopes of developing future treatments for stroke, heart disease and even cancer. Snake venom contains toxins that target a specific receptor protein on blood platelets. The toxins can either prevent blood from clotting or cause clots to develop. Researchers believe that irregular blood clot formation and the spread of cancer can be prevented by inhibiting a specific platelet protein. Blood clotting occurs naturally in order to stop the bleeding when blood vessels become damaged. Improper platelet clotting however, can lead to heart attack and stroke. Researchers have identified a specific platelet protein, CLEC-2, that is not only needed for clot formation but also for the development for lymphatic vessels. Lymphatic vessels help to prevent swelling in tissues. They also contain a molecule, podoplanin, that binds to the CLEC-2 receptor protein on platelets similarly to the way snake venom does. Podoplanin promotes blood clot formation and is also secreted by cancer cells as a defense against immune cells. Interactions between CLEC-2 and podoplanin is thought to promote cancer growth and metastasis. Understanding how toxins in snake venom interact with blood may help to develop new therapies for those with irregular blood clot formation and cancer.

5. DINOSAUR-EATING SNAKE Researchers from the Geological Survey of India have discovered fossil evidence that suggests that some snakes ate baby dinosaurs. The primitive snake known as Sanajeh indicus was about 11.5 feet long. Its fossilized skeletal remains were found inside the nest of a titanosaur. The snake was coiled around a crushed egg and near the remains of a titanosaur hatchling. Titanosaurs were plant-eating sauropods with long necks that grew to an enormous size very quickly. The researchers believe that these dinosaur hatchlings were easy prey for Sanajeh indicus. Due to the shape of its jaw, this snake was unable to consume titanosaur eggs. It waited until the hatchlings emerged from their eggs before it devoured them. Although originally discovered in 1987, it wasn't until years later that the fossilized nest was recognized to include the remains of the snake. Paleontologist Jeff Wilson states, "Burial (of the nest) was rapid and deep, probably a pulse of slushy sand and mud released during a storm caught them in the act." The discovery of the fossilized nest gives us a glimpse of a moment in time during the Cretaceous period.

4. BOA CONSTRICTOR REPRODUCES WITHOUT
SEX
Some boa constrictors don't need males to
reproduce. Parthenogenesis has been
observed in these large reptiles.
Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual
reproduction that involves the development
of an egg into an individual without
fertilization. The female boa constrictor
studied by North Carolina State University
researchers has had offspring through
both asexual and sexual reproduction. The
baby boas that were produced asexually
however, are all female and bear the same
color mutation as their mom. Their sex
chromosome make up is also different from
the sexually produced snakes. The asexually
produced baby boas have
(WW) chromosomes, while the sexually
produced snakes have either (ZZ)
chromosomes and are male or (ZW)
chromosomes and are female.
Scientists don't believe that this type of rare
birth is due to changes in the environment.
According to researcher Dr. Warren Booth,
"Reproducing both ways could be an
evolutionary 'get-out-of-jail-free card' for
snakes. If suitable males are absent, why
waste those expensive eggs when you have
the potential to put out some half-clones of
yourself? Then, when a suitable mate is
available, revert back to sexual
reproduction." The female boa that
produced her young asexually did so in
spite of the fact that there were plenty of
male suitors available.

3. SNAKE STEALS VENOM FROM TOXIC TOADS A species of non-poisonous Asian snake, Rhabdophis tigrinus, becomes poisonous due to its diet. What do these snakes eat that allow them to become poisonous? They eat certain species of toxic toads. The snakes store the toxins obtained from the toads in glands in their neck. When facing danger, these snakes release the toxins from their neck glands. This type of defense mechanism is seen in animals lower on the food chain, including insects and frogs, but rarely in snakes. Pregnant Rhabdophis tigrinus can even pass the toxins on to their young. The toxins protects the young snakes from predators and lasts until the snakes are able to hunt on their own. 4.BOA CONSTRICTOR REPRODUCES WITHOUT SEX Some boa constrictors don't need males to reproduce.
