For many years now, scientists have wondered how reptiles from five related species of Chrysopelea paradisi, commonly known as 'flying' snakes, can stay afloat as they leap from one tree to the next, sometimes covering a distance of as much as 79 feet - Now, a new study has revealed that it may be all to do with the way they move.

              This article is about Jake Socha who has been studying flying snakes. His way to study the snakes was done by dropping them from a tower. When they are dropped, airflow is created. Then they slither in the air which helps them glide. His study helped the U.S. Department of Defense build flying instruments. Flying snakes live in trees in southeastern Asia. They are 2-3 feet long. There are also flying frogs and lizards. I thought this article was intresting because I didn't think animals with no wings can possibly fly.
