Japanese monkeys (Macaca fuscata) quickly detect snakes but not spiders: Evolutionary origins of fear-relevant animals.

Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2016
Humans quickly detect the presence of evolutionary threats through visual perception. Many theorists have considered humans to be predisposed to respond to both snakes and spiders as evolutionarily fear-relevant stimuli.

Pulmonoscopy of Snakes

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2015
Pulmonoscopy is a practical diagnostic tool for investigating respiratory diseases in snakes. Two different approaches exist for pulmonoscopy, tracheal and transcutaneous. The access to the proximal or distal lung is limited by the length and diameter of the endoscope when using the tracheal approach.

The war brought the work to a standstill in 1941, after I had concluded 58 experiments. Although the small number of experiments does not permit definite conclusions to be drawn, the work is now ...
