- Snakes, unlike other creatures, lack limbs.
- Instead, they move by flexing their body, which is made up of a long spine with up to 400 ribs connected.
- Snakes can crawl, climb, and swim thanks to muscles attached to their ribs, and their large belly scales allow them to grip surfaces.
- Rectilinear locomotion, also known as rectilinear progression, is a movement style most commonly associated with snakes.
- Snakes utilize at least five different types of locomotion: lateral undulation, sidewinding, concertina movement, and slide-pushing, to name a few.
