Yes, snakes do have the ability to hear, but their hearing is not as advanced as that of mammals or birds. Snakes lack external ears, so they are not able to hear airborne sounds very well. Instead, they can detect vibrations through the ground using their jaw bones which then transmit the sound to their inner ears, allowing them to sense movements and low-frequency sounds.
