Consider the following statements about snakes and identify the incorrect one from the following :
Answer: D
The incorrect statement is that snakes chew up their prey.
Snakes cannot chew. They swallow their prey whole, often much wider than their own head, by stretching their loosely joined jaws and flexible skin. Their teeth are sharp and curved backwards, to grip the prey and stop it escaping rather than to chew it, and poisonous snakes have fangs through which venom is injected.
So the statements that snakes swallow food whole, have sharp teeth and that poisonous snakes have fangs are all correct; only chewing is wrong.
