The Peringuey's adder lives in the hot, dry Namib Desert. See how it travels across the burning sand and captures food. In this video, the shovel snouted snake lets heat escape through its lifted feet. Water is a precious commodity. The side winding ...snake travels across the sand. The snake blends into the sand as it burrows. An unsuspecting lizard becomes lunch for the snake. This is a great teaching resource for elementary/middle school students. It would work well in conjunction with a science lesson on reptiles and/or deserts. This video also helps to build background knowledge (1:59).

This video segment from Between the Lions is a live action, non-fiction piece about what life would be like "if you were a boa constrictor." For boas, life starts with 60 brothers and sisters. After a month, boas go out on their own and swim in rainf...orest rivers and climb through trees. During the night, they eat animals. They have silky smooth skin and shed it when it gets too snug. After 30 years, boas are super snakes-- 20 feet long. This video places a strong but not explicit emphasis on the "s" sound. This video segment provides a resource for Text Comprehension and Phonological Awareness. (1:04)

In this video, students will learn some interesting facts about snakes like some snakes go to great lengths to fool predators into thinking they're dangerous. The rhinoceros viper's arrow on his head sends a false message. The vine snake uses his gre...en tongue to scare predators. The trickiest snake-the two headed snake-confuses predators. This is a great teaching resource for elementary/middle school students. It would work well in conjunction with a science lesson on reptiles and/or animal behaviors. This video also helps to build background knowledge (2:00).

Fifty years ago biologists hypothesized that snakes slither by pushing their bodies against branches and debris. But how do snakes slither on smooth surfaces? Mechanical engineer David Hu, of Georgia Tech, and his colleagues filmed snakes slithering ...up inclines and sliding down plains. They outfitted the snakes in socks and photographed them through jello, all to better understand snake locomotion. The researchers published their findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. (3:21)
