Snakes under house – level 1

20-11-2024 15:00

This is in Texas, USA. A man goes under his house. He wants to fix something there.

He sees that there are ‘a few’ snakes. He calls a special company. The company removes snakes. People go under his house. They find 45 snakes. They remove all of them.

These snakes are rattlesnakes. This type of snake is dangerous. It rattles when it feels that it is in danger. The rattling is typical for this snake.

Difficult words: fix (make something broken work again), a few (a small number), remove (put away), rattle (make a sound by shaking something).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What type of snakes were found under the man's house and what is their typical behavior when they feel threatened?
