How snakes strike in under 100 milliseconds: Inside the speed, precision and mechanics of their attacks
Researchers analyzed venomous snake strikes, revealing remarkable speed and precision in less than a blink of an eye. Variations in strike velocity, jaw positioning, and fang type across species like vipers and elapids highlight how morphology and hunting styles optimize prey capture and venom delivery, often before prey can react.
