Snakes tend to flick their tongue in order to pick up on smells and different chemicals in the air. They collect particles on their tongue and deliver them to small openings on the top of their mouth – this is known as the Jacobson’s organ. It will analyze any stimuli and create the correct response.

Don’t try getting into a staring contest with a snake. It is most definitely not a battle you’re going to win. Snakes don’t have eyelids which means they can’t blink. What they have instead is a thin layer of transparent skin called brille that covers and protects their eyes.
