High-speed footage reveals how venomous snakes strike in under 60 milliseconds using diverse tactics.
A study by Monash University and French researchers used high-speed cameras to capture 36 venomous snake species striking at up to 1,000 frames per second, revealing extreme speeds—some under 60 milliseconds—and varied tactics.
Vipers strike rapidly, positioning fangs before venom injection; elapids like cobras use stealth and multiple bites; colubrids slice prey with side-to-side jaw movements.
Footage captured rare events, including a viper losing a fang mid-strike, offering new insights into venom delivery and evolution.
The research, conducted at Venomworld in France, enhances understanding of snake biology and could aid conservation efforts.
