Everyone knows that it is a reptile without limbs. There are many kinds of snakes known at present. They are distributed in all corners of the earth. Among these thousands of different snakes, poisonous snakes occupy more than 650 species. There is a race among them, they are not only poisonous, but also fly in the air, they have a nice name - Paradise Jinhua Snake. Today I'm going to tell you about this amazing animal.

1. Habitat
The Paradise Jinhua Snake mainly inhabits Kalimantan Island in Southeast Asia, which is part of the Malay Archipelago. Sparsely populated, it is a typical tropical rainforest climate, and the environment is excellent. Many strange animals and plants live here, which has become the home of the paradise Jinhua snake.

For those who come to this island for the first time, not only should they pay attention to the strange animals and plants under their feet, but also always beware of a poisonous snake flying over from the sky.

Second, individual characteristics
Although Paradise Jinhua snakes are planned to be listed as poisonous snakes, they are not highly poisonous snakes. The toxins are mild and only play a role in the process of predation.
Heavenly Jinhua snakes are not big, generally around 1M, they are relatively thin, slender and slender. Its body is covered with intricate spots, which may include black, green, yellow, orange, and red patches, forming a tight chevron pattern. Its long, flat head is striped and has large eyes with round pupils.

They like to inhabit these tall trees in the tropical rainforest, and they often shuttle back and forth on the trees, which has gradually acquired the ability to fly. But this is not flying in the true sense. After all, snakes have no wings. They cannot fly as long as birds, and can only be regarded as a kind of gliding for short distances.

Third, why can you fly?
Although the Heavenly Jinhua Snake just glides, how is this done? Scientists have found that at every moment of take-off, their bodies turn into a flat shape, which is like the parachute that we humans use, increasing the air's assistance to the body. The Heavenly Jinhua Snake uses this air flow to lift its body to complete the glide.
The reason why the little guys master these techniques is to adapt to the test of nature. Every time they go from one tree to another tree, if they climb over by themselves, they will consume a lot of physical strength. And there are also many powerful predators on land, and the risk is too great, so I have practiced this skill. This also perfectly interprets the principle of natural selection, survival of the fittest.
