Monitoring South African sharks, skates, rays & chimaera

Can you smell with your tongue? What about hearing with your jaw or seeing heat? Most humans can’t, without superpowers, but slithery and scaled snakes possess these amazing abilities and more! Snakes exhibit a remarkable diversity of species, colors, and habitats. They play a crucial role in ecosystems, controlling pest populations and maintaining ecological balance. Understanding their biology and behavior is vital to implementing effective conservation strategies to protect them.
