How does a baby boa survive without parents? **🐍**
Meet Kronos, a Brazilian Rainbow Boa. Unlike many snakes that hatch from eggs, Brazilian Rainbow Boas are live-born, or ovoviviparous, and arrive with the instincts and anatomy they need from day one. From birth, Kronos uses tongue flicking to gather chemical information and heat-sensing pit organs to detect the body heat of prey, even in low light. These built-in senses help young boas respond to their surroundings and find food without parental care. #animals
