How venomous snakes attack: Scientists study how they bite their prey in 3D slow-motion study
Scientists have decoded venomous snake strikes using advanced 3D video. The study analysed 36 species, revealing varied hunting techniques. Vipers strike rapidly, while elapids use a controlled approach. Colubrids employ a sweeping motion. These adaptations showcase evolutionary strategies for survival. Fang shape also links to prey preference. This research offers new insights into snake behaviour and their deadly efficiency.
