"Snakes have a dubious reputation that stretches back thousands of years. Their unique way of moving and appearance can trigger awe or ophidiophobia, the fear of snakes. Feared or revered, snakes are fascinating creatures, and the size some species can grow to makes them especially mind-blowing. Most of the largest species are long extinct, but many sizeable snakes continue to slither in many parts of the world."
