Even in some religions and cultures snakes are considered to be holy and are treated as Gods on the other hand in some cultures and religions it represents lies and deceit.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"History_of_World_Snake_Day\"><\/span><strong>History of World Snake Day<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The word \u2018snake \u2018comes from the Old English word \u2018snaca\u2019 and it is believed that they evolved from the lizards that roamed the earth approximately 174.1 million years ago. Just so you know the oldest fossil snake Eophis underwoodi lived 167 million years ago in England. Do you know that there are more than 3500 species of snakes in the world? That is a lot! right?<\/p>\n<p>Even before scientists found out about <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/list-of-snakes-in-india\/\">snakes and their species<\/a><\/strong>, they have been part of ancient mythologies and religions. For example, Bible says that Satan came to eve by taking the form of a snake and made her eat the forbidden fruit.<\/p>\n<p>Irish mythology states that during the 5<sup>th<\/sup> century, St. Patrick was attacked by snakes during his 40 days of fasting. The tale goes that he expelled all the snakes into the sea by waving his staff. People believe this is the reason why there are no snakes in Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>Folklore such as these represents an evil image of snakes and to some extent, it is because of these myths that people are scared of them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Importance_of_World_Snake_Day\"><\/span><strong>Importance of World Snake Day<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_marks_the_Importance_of_Snakes_in_the_Ecosystem\"><\/span><strong>It marks the Importance of Snakes in the Ecosystem<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Climate change, deforestation, and numerous other factors are the reason why the<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/types-of-animals-based-on-habitat\/\"> habitats<\/a><\/strong> of snakes are declining.

Evidence proves that in the case of Anacondas, during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petaindia.com\/blog\/15-facts-about-snakes\/\">mating season<\/a> they form a \u201cmating ball\u201d consisting of one female and 12 males.<\/li>\n<li>However, being harmful to others, the venom is of great help to the snakes themselves. As snakes swallow their prey whole, the venom helps in breaking down the flesh for digestion.<\/li>\n<li>Do you know that ophidiophobia is the fear of snakes? What s a fancy term, right?<\/li>\n<li>Pre-historians believe that snakes have roamed the earth for over 100 million years evolving from pre-historic lizards.<\/li>\n<li>Apart from fishes\u2019 snakes are the animals who lay eggs and also give birth. Pythons and king cobra are an example of snakes that lay eggs. Sea snakes, anacondas, and vipers are the ones that give birth.<\/li>\n<li>Snakes don\u2019t have a nose so that is why they smell with their tongue and they can even detect the direction from which it comes.<\/li>\n<li>Snakes depend on external sources for heat which is why you can see them stretching on rocks and sometimes roads. Without the warmth, they cannot digest their food, which is why you can say they basically run on solar power.<\/li>\n<li>Snakes can have up to 1200 bones, you can call them bony.<\/li>\n<li>Snake scales comprise the same substance as human nails and hairs which is keratin.<\/li>\n<li>Sea snakes have a special ability to breathe through their skin which allows them to stay underwater for a longer time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>It is understandable to fear an animal that can easily kill a living being.
