Snake vertebrae

With oblong neural vanes and centra with ball-and-socket joints. Widest at anterior transverse processes, which spread nearly 90 degrees. Norfolk County, MA. Collected circa 2005

Snakes have an elongated body and tail, and no limbs. Their body is usually slender, the body shape correlated with the activity level. The vertebral column has more vertebrae than any other living animal—up to 600. Snakes are covered with scales, and their colors and color patterns are often bright and sometimes spectacular.

Skeletons of The Snakes are not alive and they cannot attack you but still they are scary as hell but still amazing to observe. The backbone of the snakes is made up of many vertebrae attached to ribs. Humans have around 24 ribs and 33 vertebrae but snakes can have from 100 up to 400 vertebrae with many ribs attached, so imagine the difference. That is what makes these legless creatures so flexible and easy to move!
