Some snakes glide while wriggling in the air
Flying snakes of the genus Chrysopelea can glide between trees. They flatten their bodies and make side-to-side movements in flight. They do not flap wings or fly like birds; a snake-shaped body takes a different route through the air.
The wriggle continues above the ground.
