In a newly published study, researchers have found that snakes in the Chaco region of Argentina are adapting to their environment in accordance with the temperature. Scientists at the National University of Comahue in Argentina studied the behavior of various snakes in the Chaco region and discovered that the species of snakes were adjusting to the climate by becoming active during the cooler hours of the day. This is the first study of its kind to show that snakes can adjust their behavior in response to changes in the environment. Additionally, the researchers found that the snakes were becoming more active during the months of the year when the temperature was lower and more inactive when the temperature was higher. This adaptation could have important implications for the survival of snakes in the region.
