Snake

Zusammenfassung The snake’s primordial system, functioning for well over one hundred million years, is a marvel of genetic engineering. This book explores the animal’s natural history, and the widespread snake symbolism, from Eve's serpent in the Bible, to Kaa in The Jungle Book; from the Chinese zodiac to Indian snake charmers and the film Anaconda.
