00:00If a snake bites itself, their fangs inject venom, just like it would with other prey.
00:05Now this venom enters its bloodstream, delivering toxins that are usually deadly to other animals.

00:15by being exposed to it in low doses for a long period of time.
00:19As the venom enters the bloodstream, antibodies neutralize it, which protects the snake.
