Although often described as "slimey",
snakes are actually anything but. Like all reptiles their bodies
are very dry, but the shine of their unique scales makes
it appear as if their skin has a slick appearance.

Can you picture a snake with legs? If you turn a snake
onto its back, you'll see tiny nodules (bumps) where the legs would
be on another reptile, like a lizard. Scientists believe these nodules
are where they snakes' legs would have been if they hadn't evolved
out of them. |
