According to Monga Bay’s mission statement, they seek to promote appreciation of wildlands and wildlife. They also examine the science of how snakes can see on a crowded plane, and give pointers on ways you can avoid death should you ever become stuck in this particular situation.

Even in the dark, snakes on a plane (at least those of the pit viper and boa varieties) could keep a close watch on terrorized passengers and crew thanks to small cavities near their snouts known as pit organs. The organs are sensitive to the infrared radiation emitted by warm prey such as rats, rabbits, and Samuel L. Jackson.

Once again, science is the only thing seperating Man from the beast, and Mankind from compete destruction.
