Mention snakes and the image that comes to mind is that of a stealthily gliding reptile. It turns out that this was not always the case. Ancient snake fossils indicate that the reptiles once had legs, just like the rest of us. So why did snakes decide to shed them in favor of the slither that sends chills down our spines? That is a mystery researchers have been trying to solve for some time.

        If they still had legs I think it would be more dangerous and think of the black mamba way more fast 2x more hard to get away fron
