It also traces the evolutionary history of snakes. Habitats and Behaviour: Shine describes where snakes live, their preferred habitats (from arid regions to rainforests), and their day-to-day behaviour. This includes basking, foraging, and ambush strategies. Sexual Habits and Reproduction: Learn about the intriguing sex lives of snakes, including mating behaviours, courtship rituals, and reproductive strategies (both egg-laying and live-bearing). Life Histories: The book covers snake life cycles, growth, and survival strategies. From hatchlings to adults, it provides insights into their development. Diet and Feeding: Discover what snakes eat, their feeding habits, and how they capture and consume prey. Human Interaction: Shine also explores the interactions between snakes and humans, dispelling myths and replacing them with proven information about how snakes fit into Australia s ecosystems. Whether you re a snake enthusiast, a naturalist, or simply curious about these remarkable creatures, Australian Snakes: A Natural History offers a comprehensive and engaging perspective on the world of Australian snakes.
