MEMEZAR • MEMES & MEME-CULTURE on Instagram: "Give him that Oscar right now! Some snakes play dead as a defense mechanism to avoid predators. When threatened, they may flip onto their backs, open their mouths, stick out their tongues, or even emit foul smells to appear lifeless and unappealing. This behavior tricks predators that prefer live prey into losing interest and leaving. Once the danger passes, the snake quickly “comes back to life” and slithers away to safety.
