Watch this viral video carefully. If you can tell a snake from a banana at first glance, you are a genius.

Ball pythons are the most popular pet snake and the second most popular pet reptile after the bearded dragon, say some studies.

Snake Video: Nature has provided its creations with distinct identities and instincts. Right from the smallest birds to the biggest animals, they have been gifted with a sense that most probably is missing in human beings. For example, dogs have a much stronger sense of smell than us. Predatory birds can spot their prey from a much longer distance which is simply impossible for humans. Many species have been provided with their natural shield to protect them from predators. Chameleon is a very good example of camouflage.

A video is going viral on social media showing a ball python placed along with a banana. One can easily be fooled to believe that there are two bananas because the other one is a live python that has skin just like that of a banana. The video is shared by Science girl on Twitter with the caption: “The way this ball python looks like a banana 🍌”

The ball python is known for its defense strategy that involves coiling into a tight ball when threatened, with its head and neck tucked away in the middle.
