SDNHM - Sidewinder (392 words)
The Sidewinder range extends through the sandy desert habitats of southern Nevada, to northeastern Baja California and northern Sonora, Mexico, east into central Arizona, and west to the base of the desert side of California's mountains.
The enlarged horns of Sidewinders, located above the eyes, serve as a mechanism that allows the eyes to "close." When burrowing, the pressure exerted on the top of the horns push the base of the scale downward and covers the eye.
Sidewinders can travel in the serpentine mode (the usual snaky method) if they have to, for example, to turn a sharp corner.
