What is the Scientific Name of Snake?
The scientific name of the Snake is “Serpentes” which belongs to the “Animalia kingdom”. They are basically without limbs and are carnivorous reptiles. Over 520 genera and 3,500 species of snakes can be found worldwide except for Antarctica, a few small islands, and a few larger ones like the islands of New Zealand, Ireland, and Iceland. Many of the snake species have their skulls, and several snake species can swallow prey that is significantly larger than their heads (a process known as cranial kinesis). In Hindi we called it “Saap”.
