This factual report summarizes information about snakes. It begins with a general statement that snakes are carnivorous and found on every continent except Antarctica. Approximately 3000 snake species exist. The report then describes some unique physical attributes of snakes, such as their flexible jaws, lack of eyelids, and ability to swallow prey larger than their heads. It concludes by explaining that while some snakes use venom to hunt, pythons kill prey through constriction.

6. The Generic Structure of Factual Report
Camels are one of the many four-leg mammals that considered as a big
mammals. Camels can reach 7 feet in height (at the hump) and weigh up to 1500
pounds.
They are specially adapted to the life in desert.Their eyes have three eyelids and two
rows of eyelashes that prevent sand to enter their eyes.
Camel can travel in great distances through hot and dry deserts with little food or water.
They can walk easily on the desert.
Camels are trained as means of transportation to carry people and loads on their backs.
They can also serve the people in many other ways.

10. SNAKES
Snakes are carnivores. Snakes are found on every continent of the world
except Antarctica. There are around 3000 different species of snake. Some sea
snakes can breathe partially through their skin, allowing for longer dives
underwater. Anacondas are large, non-venomous snakes found in South
America that can reach over 5 m (16 ft) in length. Python reticulates can grow
over 8.7 m (28 ft) in length and are considered the longest snakes in the world.
Snakes don’t have eyelids. Snakes smell with their tongue. Snakes have
flexible jaws which allow them to eat prey bigger than their head! Snakes have
internal ears but not external ones.
Snakes can’t bite food so have to swallow it whole. Snakes have a unique
anatomy which allows them to swallow and digest large prey. Snakes are
covered in scales. Snakeskin is smooth and dry. Snakes shed their skin a
number of times a year in a process that usually lasts a few days. Some
species of snake, such as cobras and black mambas, use venom to hunt and
kill their prey. Pythons kill their prey by tightly wrapping around it and
suffocating it in a process called constriction.
