Looking at why underground animals have evolved differently from those on the surface.

The famous naturalist looks at why underground animals evolved in a very different way from those on the surface. From 2009.

Underground animals are very different to the animals that spend their life on the surface. 

They are a different shape, their senses are tuned in a very different way and they manifestly come from a different world. 

Does this explain the stare of the snake?
