Just looking at this distinct animal raises many scientific questions. With regard to evolution, how did such an animal come to be? How does a snake move, and how do its sense organs differ from that of other reptiles? How does it eat, and how does it reproduce? Essentially, how does a snake ""work""? In How Snakes Work: The Structure, Function and Behavior of the World's Snakes, leading zoologist Harvey B.
