Snakes follow divers – level 1
19-09-2024 15:00
The large olive snakes live in the sea near Australia. The snake is more than two meters long. It is a venomous snake. Venomous means that if the snake bites someone, the person can die.
Now it is the snake’s breeding season. The snakes become very active. They look for a mate.
The snakes mistake divers for their mates. They follow the divers. They curl around their feet. They attack the cameras. It is very dangerous. The snakes can attack divers at any time.
The large olive snake is a reptile. Reptiles are cold-blooded animals like a snake, lizard, or crocodile. These animals lay eggs on the land near the sea. The olive snake breathes air. It still spends all its life in the sea.
Difficult words: breeding season (the time when an animal wants to make babies), mate (a sexual partner), mistake (to think that a person or thing is somebody or something else).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
What behaviors do the large olive snakes exhibit during their breeding season and why is it dangerous for divers?
