THE ATRETOCHOANA Do Your Kids Know This? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781546615453)

What type of animal is the Atretochoana?

In English, atretos means imperforate - and imperforate means not perforated. To put it even more plainly - it means that there's no normal opening.

The animal called Atretochoana seems like something without an opening - so that's why it was named that way.

As an animal that looks like a snake, the Atretochoana can grow quite long - up to about 30 inches in length.

In spite of looking like a snake (which is a reptile), the Atretochoana is not a reptile - and is therefore not related to snakes. It is actually an amphibian.
