Snakes and Their Unusual Ability... How Do They See What We Can’t #facts

Snakes possess fascinating sensory abilities beyond their unique vision. Some species, particularly pit vipers like rattlesnakes, have evolved specialized heat-sensing organs located between their eyes and nostrils. These heat receptors, or "pit organs," enable them to detect temperature differences in their surroundings, helping them locate prey even in total darkness. By sensing the infrared radiation given off by warm-blooded animals, snakes can effectively "see" the body heat of their prey, creating a thermal image in their brain. This remarkable adaptation is crucial for hunting at night or in low-light environments, where visual detection is limited. It enhances their hunting precision and allows them to strike with deadly accuracy.
