Lake Toba is a lake and supervolcano. The lake is 100 kilometres
long, 30 kilometres wide, and up to 505 meters (1,666 ft) deep. Located in the middle of the northern part of the Indonesian island of Sumatra with a surface elevation of about 900 metres (2,953 ft). It is the largest lake in Indonesia and the largest volcanic lake in the world.
Lake Toba is the site of a massive supervolcanic eruption estimated at VEI 8 that occurred 69,000 to 77,000 years ago, representing a climate-changing event.
It is the largest known explosive eruption on Earth in the last 25 million years. According to the Toba catastrophe theory, it had global consequences for human populations: it killed most humans living at that time and is believed to have created a population bottleneck in central east Africa and India, which affects the genetic make up of the human world-wide population to the present.
This hypothesis is not widely accepted because evidence is lacking for a decline or extinction of other animals, including species that are sensitive to changes in the environment. It has been accepted that the eruption of Toba led to a volcanic winter with a worldwide decrease in temperature between 3 to 5 C (5.4 to 9.0 F), and up to 15 C (27 F) in higher latitudes.

A snake has eyes but no eyelids. They have clear scales over their eyes. Most snakes can see movement, but some snakes are blind. Snakes dont have ears. They have bone in their heads that can sense low sounds and vibrations. Snakes have a great sense of smell. A snake flicks out its forked (divided) tongue to collect scents. It doesnt mean the snakes is hungry. The snakes-pulls its tongue in and sticks the forked tips into a place in the roof of its mount called jacabsons organ. This way smelling lets snakes find other snakes as well as prey (animals it hunts for food) Pit vipers, boas, and pythons have small pits on their heads that can sense heat. These pits help a snake sense when a warm-blooded animal is near.
