They are capable of gliding from tree to tree. Snakes like pythons, vipers have pit organs which act like cameras to identify their prey at the night. The pit organs capture the image of the prey and produce an infrared image of them. So that pit organ acts as snake's somatosensory system. They see the image by detecting heat and not by photons detection. Thus, Some of the snakes are becoming extinct due to some of the natural destruction and human destruction. Living a life without any destruction makes the world peaceful and beautiful!
