Non-Fiction For ages 6–12 years
The Adder Without a sound, the snake twists and turns and heads off on the hunt. It hears nothing, but feels with its body and detects scent with the help of its tongue on the search for food. Mice and baby birds are the best meals a snake can imagine. The snake strikes quick as a flash. It sprays poison from its fangs, sending it straight into the animal. Mice are dead within 3 minutes.
