Feb 13, 2010: Dem Bones

Snakes are the ultimate in flexibility, all wiggly and squirmy, like a big worm.
It's easy to forget they actually have a skeleton... bones, lots of bones.



Phenomenica has a lot of pictures of snake skeletons. The text goes something like;

Ow, I broke a rib!

Mmmmmmmmmmm...Baby Diamondback ribs.

Well, I thought it was pretty creepy, but I guess it's better viewing snake ribs from the outside than from the inside.

BTW, thanks for that site. I'd like to nominate this http://www.phenomenica.com/2010/02/w...rent-head.html for a future Image of the Day. Cool fish. It's too bad it hangs out at 2000 feet. It would look fantastic in an aquarium.

Very Cool Link, Rich!
