American) species. The Old World species share some of their territories with their close relatives the cobras and mambas. Corals are slender snakes with small heads and, although individuals can reach over four feet, the average size is around 2-3 feet. MYSTERIOUS EVOLUTION OF THE SNAKE - There is still much that is debated about snake evolution. They probably evolved from terrestrial lizards, although there is a strong theory that the giant aquatic mosasaurs were their ancestors. Today, there are about 3000 species of snake, covering every continent except Antarctica, as well as both fresh and marine waterways.
