A Snake Head Can Bite Even After Decapitation
Due to their ectothermic nature, snakes need optimal environmental conditions to thrive, this means the environment can trick a decapitated snakehead into believing it is ‘alive’. Scientists are not sure if the snake understands whether or not it has been decapitated.
The decapitated snakehead is still able to bite and inject venom. Scientists have debated whether or not the head is cognisant of its actions or if the biting is an involuntary action of self-defense.
