Happy #WorldSnakeDay. #Snakes have an unfair reputation as being poisonous/ aggressive. Our fear of snakes may come from Christianity. Satan took the form of a snake tempting Eve in the Garden of Eden. Yet snakes aren't bad at all! They're critical to ecosystems around the world

#Snakes evolved 130 million years ago in the Cretaceous period from a common ancestor that they share with #birds and other #reptiles. They have cloacal spurs or vestigal limbs, which shows their shared ancestry with limbed reptiles. #WorldSnakeDay 🐍🐍🐍

#Snakes see on the infrared spectrum using heat receptors called pit organs making them epic predators with natural night vision goggles to see prey. Snakes have a detachable jaw which can swallow food whole that is much larger than its own body weight. #WorldSnakeDay 🐍💚

#WorldSnakeDay. In #Irish mythology, St Patrick in the 5th C waived his staff at snakes on top of a hill. The snakes dispersed. Legend says this is why Ireland has no snakes. Druids see snakes as keepers of the sacred knowledge and wisdom in Ireland tcd.ie/visitors/the-s…

In Tantric traditions of India, feminine cosmic energy of Kundalini is a sleeping coiled serpent at the base of the spine. Awakened through yogic meditation, the serpent Shakti opens up the chakras, connecting the person with the divine goddess #Shiva contentcatnip.com/2021/10/10/anc…

In the #Indigenous Australian #Dreamtime an immense #RainbowSerpent arose out of #Gondwanaland to create huge ridges, mountains, and gorges. The Rainbow Serpent is considered as the ultimate creator of the universe. #WorldSnakeDay Art: gidabul doobay bluethumb.com.au/gidabul-doobay…
