cmh_sprint Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 I hate snakes toobut that is awesome. The video in slow mo where the snake does a pitch up at the end like an airplane landing show's how developing this skill is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaNick Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 I think the story is not worthy of news because they're just leaping and then falling. I found myself shaking my head in them researching a snake falling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fusion Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 falling with style? To infinity and beyond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 (edited) Still falling even if there is gliding. I didn't see any gliding though. I saw a jump in an outward direction, therefore falling in an outward direction, which may look like flying to some.

chevysoldier Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Snakes are awesome. Especially flying snakes. Flying monkeys are cooler thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiggO Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 So that's why they put the snakes on the plane. They wouldn't need extra parachutes, the snakes could just glide to the ground! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
