As the sun Ьeаtѕ dowп mercilessly upon the desert landscape, sand snakes lie in wait beneath the surface, their sinuous bodies perfectly adapted to blend seamlessly with their surroundings. With keen eyesight and acute senses, they patiently scan the horizon, waiting for the telltale signs of movement that signal the presence of their quarry.
