The baby Black Racer mostly survives by the process of camouflage. The adult snakes do not feed their babies nor protect them. During birth, the juvenile Black Racers are 6 inches long. The total number of baby black racers that can take birth at a time is a wide range varying between 3 and 32. Male Black Racers become sexually ready between the age of 1 and 2 years, whereas the female’s age of sexual maturity is between 2 and 3 years. Their breeding season extends from June to early July. The mating season of these serpents is the springtime, mostly between late April and the first half of June. Moltingīlack Racer snakes usually shed their skin once a year. This speed in locomotion has been particularly possible for their natural smooth skin and scales. Their ability to move a climb at incredible speeds comes handy since they often live in areas with human habitation, and are daytime hunters. When in danger, the snake vibrates its tail in dense grass generating a sound similar to a rattle snake’s rattles. The adults have a characteristic defense mechanism. Because these snakes dwell mostly in grassy or woody areas, they are often found in a curled position, resembling a fallen branch.

Carice van Houten plays Leni Refienstahl as a sympathetic character, defying Goebbel's orders to tell the true story of the 1936 Olympics, and Stephan James as Owens provides an enjoyable leading performance.Baby Black Racers camouflage themselves according to their places of habitat. as he enters Berlin Stadium at the height of pre-War Nazi pageantry, Hindenburg flying overhead, Hitler waving in the stands to a thunderous chorus of "Sieg Heils." It must have been overwhelming. The actual scenes of competition are presented in an exciting fashion. But there is interesting dramatic tension in the scenes in which the US Olympics commission debates boycotting the '36 games, and in Owens' personal struggle over whether to compete in the face of certain factions of the black community entreating him not to.


The personal (melo)drama seems pretty mundane, and, as to be expected in historical dramas, certain liberties are taken with the facts for dramatic purposes. It features pretty standard sports movie clichés, e.g., hard-ass coach with heart of gold, rival who becomes best friend, etc. 'Race' is an overall entertaining movie hampered by some fairly predictable flaws.
