A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
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.
