The image looks like our distant ancestor there is crawling in from another dimension, the way the water still encloses its body so high up... or at least like it portaled over from a deep ocean part of the ocean floor.
and one eye looks like its on top of the head.
Maybe the artist just screwed it up, but there's a snake species that really does have eyes positioned like that, on top of its head. Arabian sand boa:
That snake looks dumb as hell. Evolution really fucked with them. It looks like a puppet made by a child when you just describe a snake and they've never seen one.
:(
On behalf of the snake: no u
Unless that snake is endangered it is doing just fine and is adapted over millennia to be built that way and thus live it's best life
Yup, it's so it can hide under the sand and still see prey.
