Coral Snakes: Beware the Colors!

Fangs

by Nancy White

A coral snake may be small, but don't be fooled. This colorful little reptile carries a lethal weapon--one of the deadliest snake venoms in the world! The coral snake's magnificent colors serve as a warning to other animals to stay away or risk being attacked by a poisonous killer. Certain folk rhymes, in fact, were invented to help people learn to identify these snakes. For example, "Red and yellow, kill a fellow; red and black, venom lack." Packed with fascinating facts and large, colorful photos, Coral Beware the Colors! introduces young readers to the natural habitat, physical characteristics, diet, and behavior of these colorful creatures. Coral Beware the Colors! is part of Bearport's Fangs! series.
