Noah W.

Swamp Serpent


Introduction
This is channel 6 reporting a newly discovered species called the brown back swamp serpent discovered by …
Noah. Over to you, Noah. This animal has many adaptations, but I'm not going to tell you yet, because I'm selling an article for 5.99.  And we will be back after these short messages.
Environment
The swamp serpent is cold-blooded, so it goes in the sunniest spot it can to absorb as much heat as it can. When it goes under water, it has clear flaps to make sure water doesn’t get in its eyes. It has a sharp tail, so it can swim up to 12 miles a hour and hold its breath for 35 minutes!
FOOD
The swamp serpent eats fish and bugs it catches a fish by going under water and uses its harpoon-like tail  and then spits venom in the face of the enemies. After 1:00,
the fish dies, and then the snake eats it. The brown back swamp serpent gets its name because it camouflages in a branch and when a bug least expects it, it snaps the insect that was eaten. The swamp serpent eats a lot of bugs such as flies ants, butterflies, grasshoppers, and bees.
Predators
This animal has two predators, and they are crocs and falcons.The snake spots a croc, and the croc spots the snake, so the snake clings to a branch, and once again camouflages. Then the snake spots a falcon, the snake spits poison at the falcon, and before the falcon can eat him, it dies. The poison is strong enough to kill a komodo dragon in one hour!

Thank you for reading my article. I hoped you learned a lot  about this awesome animal and their extreme adaptations and the way it lives. I could not make this book without you.
