Discover Life - Snakes |
|
|
Discover Life helps you to identify things, share ways to teach and study nature's wonders, use maps, report your findings, and contribute to and learn from the Web's growing encyclopedia of life. The Polistes Foundation and its partners plan to make identification guides, maps, images, and valuable data on a million species freely available to everyone by 2012. So far we have some information on 228,928 species. We invite you to join us in our quest to reduce disease, increase food production, stop destructive species, protect endangered ones, and enjoy rather than struggle with nature. -- John Pickering

South Dakota Snakes |

Snakes are probably the most misunderstood animals in the world. Although it is important to realize the potential danger of some species, we need not fear or hate these limbless reptiles. Leave snakes alone, and they will likely leave your alone.
Snakes are normally timid and secretive. When approached, they usually remain quiet to avoid detection. They may try to escape if given an opportunity. Only when frightened or cornered will they stand their ground. Reptiles are valuable animals that play an important environmental role by eating insects and rodents. Many species face extinction because of man?s persistent use of pesticides and destruction of large areas of habitat that these animals require to survive. Snakes are beneficial to people, but people are seldom beneficial to snakes!
