Program Description

Pop culture has not done much for the snake’s reputation. From Shakespeare to the cinema, serpents have been typecast as villains. The Ultimate Guide offers a different view of the snake — an animal that has thrived for a hundred million years, both on land and at sea, despite an apparent design flaw: no limbs. You’ll see how different snakes have adapted to their fate in different ways, whether by growing to immense proportions like the anaconda, or developing potent venom like vipers.
