Snakes typically hunt for prey on the ground, with their common targets being rodents, small reptiles, and birds… However, there is one species of snake that goes against the majority and prefers to burrow underground in search of food.
Its prey often digs small holes in the ground, so the False Smooth Snake will follow these traces.
This snake is the False Smooth Snake (Scientific name: Macroprotodon brevis), a small venomous snake that typically preys on worm lizards (Scientific name: Amphisbaenia). Its prey often digs small holes in the ground, allowing the False Smooth Snake to track them down.
The snake burrows into these small holes to search for its prey and uses its senses to sniff out victims in various nooks underground. However, this time luck smiled upon the worm lizard as it narrowly escaped the predator’s grasp.
