Snakes are vertebrates and vertebrates are those animals which are known to have bones. It is really mind boggling to see that snakes have bones because a snake’s body is very flexible and it can twist itself like some piece of rubber or any flexible thing. A snake’s body has a huge number of bones. It has approximately up to 400 bones attached to the main bones which act just like a chord. These 400 bones are attached in such a way that it makes the snake extremely flexible. If we look at the skeleton of the snake we can see how the main bone is attached to the jaw. Then that bone goes further down and it gets attached to another bone which is in the main body. Then another bone joins and at the end comes the tail. If we look at it, this is just like the spinal cord. Every bone is covered with the meat and then the scale or skin which makes the body lethal and really strong. Yes, snakes do have bones and they also have a liver, lungs and intestines which go big as they keep eating. So, snakes are one very special creation which mesmerizes everyone.
