noun
Meaning of "snake" ("serpiente"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.
A snake is a long, thin animal with no legs that moves by slithering, or sliding, along the ground. It has scaly skin, can stick out its tongue to smell the air, and some kinds can hiss or even be poisonous, so we should look at them from far away and not touch them in the wild.
