Snake With Tentacles!!!!

[Volcom269]

So my Dad showed me this today.:shocked:

Snake uses tentacles to 'see' in the dark (http://phys.org/news184397388.html)

Apparently its the only snake with tentacles. The biologist say that they use them to hunt and determine where fish are going to swim.

There are a number of videos of this snake on YouTube. This one I saw a year or two ago and does a nice job of showing the attack sequence. The snake twitches one section of its body to startle the fish into moving toward the snake's head.
