The ability of venomous snakes to strike with remarkable speed has become a subject of growing interest among researchers aiming to understand how animals operate at the limits of physical performance. High speed recordings have revealed that these movements unfold in less than the blink of an eye, combining muscle power, precise jaw control and coordinated body motion to secure prey. The topic sits at the centre of discussions on predator behaviour, ecological balance and vertebrate biomechanics, making it relevant to fields ranging from evolutionary biology to public health. As new analytical tools shed light on these rapid actions, the mechanics behind a snake’s strike are becoming clearer and more scientifically instructive. The research paper published in Journal of Experimental B
