Did you know …
That snakes are good at math? It’s true! Probably not all snakes are good at math, and even mathy snakes aren’t necessarily math geniuses, but your average snake can at least do long division in its head. Wild!
Interestingly, when a two-headed snake is born (or hatches, I guess), each head is half as good at math as a normal, single-headed snake. Maybe this is why two-headed snakes don’t live very long!
Also interestingly, because snakes can’t speak or write things down, the only way scientists can tell that they’re good at math is by cutting them open. The equations show up in their guts or something. Yuck!
