    Scientists Uncover How Flying Snakes Fly

    Now if only I could teach my snakes to fly......

    "Okay, strictly speaking, flying snakes don’t actually fly, because they don’t gain altitude during their ventures. However, in the jungles of South and Southeast Asia, they are known to glide dozens of feet from tree to tree, and they do it with purpose."

    Such a surprising adaptation for species that are normally so "grounded". Gotta love nature & natural selection!
