The common kingsnake is a non-venomous snake up to two meters long. It lives in North America and often hunts other snakes.
The common kingsnake is immune to the venom of rattlesnakes and other poisonous species. It is beneficial to nature because it controls the population of dangerous snakes and rodents.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
