Abstract
Snakes (Serpentes) are scaly, limbless reptiles that share the same taxonomic order (Squamata) with lizards (Sauria) and amphisbaenians (Amphisbaenia).All snakes have an elongated body and are predatory carnivores.This body shape and their feeding modality have a pervasive effect on many aspects of their biology, such as ecology, physiology, and behavior.Snakes inhabit all biogeographic realms except the polar regions and some islands.Within each of these realms they have filled various aquatic, terrestrial, and arboreal niches.In this review, I describe the sensory physiology of snakes and its peculiarities related to their specific way of life.In the final paragraph, I try to summarize the cognitive abilities of snakes and suggest future approaches to further investigate snake cognition and to link it to underlying physiological processes.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
