The snake is not really flying because It doesn't have wings to give it lift. Instead, it glides through the air. It climbs up to a high elevation on a tree, springs itself, and jumps. While in the air, it flattens the sides of its body to reduce drag and create lift which helps it cover a long distance as it falls. The flying squirrel is the master of this concept. 511 Likes 33 Shares |

Some snakes can jump, some can stand, some can change color, some can spit, all can swim, all can crawl and all are very crafty............. so, I don't like any snakes at all except the King Cobra ![]() 22 Likes 3 Shares |

I think it's high time we created a section for snakes related topics. I've seen plenty of trends on this forum from wayback 2007 when I used to visit here as a visitor, never has a trend lasted this long like the snake trend... The traffic it gives this site should be massive. Nowadays, we unconsciously click on snake related topics hoisted on Frontpage. 64 Likes 2 Shares |

Once saw a documentary of a flying snake more than 10 years ago, it probably could have been this specie of snake tho. |
