Snake With Tentacles!!!!

So my Dad showed me this today.

Snake uses tentacles to 'see' in the dark

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

Re: Snake With Tentacles!!!!

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.

I just found out about these snakes. They look really cool. I am trying to do some more research about them.
