The 15 pages that link to Snake locomotion, each with the reason it gives.

• SnakeRelated: Concertina, lateral undulation, and other gaits show how a limbless body generates movement.

• Snake scaleRelated: Scales grip and interact with surfaces during several forms of snake movement.

• LepidosauriaBroader topic: Snake movement illustrates how squamates evolved locomotion without limbs.

• Snake evolutionRelated: A limbless body diversified into several movement strategies across habitats.

• CobraNarrower topic: Cobras use the same muscular and skeletal movement systems as other snakes.

• ConstrictorRelated: Coordinated body movement lets a snake form and tighten coils around prey.

• King cobraNarrower topic: King cobras travel through forest floors and climb using the same basic locomotor toolkit as other snakes.

• Boa constrictorRelated: Muscular waves let boas travel across ground, climb, and maneuver while holding prey.

• BoidaeRelated: Boa locomotion lets these heavy-bodied snakes travel on land, through trees, or in water.

• ChrysopeleaNarrower topic: Chrysopelea adds aerial gliding to the locomotor repertoire of snakes.

• NajashRelated: Najash’s hind limbs complicate accounts that treat early snake movement as entirely limbless.

• Jameson's mambaRelated: Its long body lets it travel through branches as well as along the ground.

• MadtsoiidaeRelated: Madtsoiid vertebrae offer clues, but not a complete picture, of how these extinct snakes moved.

• TitanoboaNarrower topic: Its exceptionally large body raises questions about which movements were practical.

• XenopeltisRelated: Burrowing sunbeam snakes use body movements suited to pushing through loose ground.
