All the known snakes are deaf.but how can they hear the charmers voice??

Answer 1

Snakes lack ears.
Snakes can't hear most airborne sounds,but they are able to detect low frequency vibrations in the ground by means of bones in their lower jaws.
A snake can sense the approach of another animal by detecting ground vibrations.

Answer 2

I saw a documentary about snakes. The snake charmer question was addressed. The Narrator explained that it's not the sound of the instrument that the charmer is playing. It's the motion that he makes as he plays. The snake follows the motion.

Answer 3

They can't, it's a facade by the charmer for sheer entertainment value. It's the movements of the charmer, not the noises--but I get the feeling you already knew this...

Answer 4

they follow the movements of the flute and the charmer and they can feel the vibrations from the music and any tapping the charmer may be doing such as with his foot.

Edit: I agree with askaway.

Answer 5

They don't, they follow the movement of the end of the flute or the hands of the charmer.

Answer 6

They don't. what is actually going on is the snake is following the charmers movements.

Answer 7

While they are attracted by the vibrations of the music(sound) they follow the movements of the instrument
The vibrations keep them inquisitive,the movements keep them alert.

Answer 8

They see the motion and also can feel vibrations through the skin in much the same way as sharks.

Answer 9

they don't. they are attracted by the waving motion of the flute instrument. that's how it works in India if you're talking about the guys with the flute and the snake in the jar.

Answer 10

they cant...they follow his body movements
