Do snakes chairm their prey?

l. Do snakes chairm their prey?
 There is probably little truth in the popular notion that snakes charm their prey. They doubtless in most instances approach and seize their prey unawares. have seen little snake in the woods pursue and overtake lizard that was trying to escape from it. There was no attempt at charming; superior speed alone gave the victory to the snake.
 ?. Does the porcupine ever defend itself by rolling up like a ball?
 I have never yet seen a porcupine as sume the globular form. It would not be the best form for him to assume, because it would partly expose his vulnerable under side. His attitude of defense is crouching close to the ground, head drawn and pressed down, the circular shield of large qull- upon his back opened and extended as far as possible.
