#Snake locomotion is more varied than you may think.
Here a #puffadder is using rectilinear locomotion also known as #ribwalking. This method uses antagonistic muscle pairs attached to each rib and is a common form of locomotion in bulkier #vipers and #pythons (vid is mine)

Hey @RepAdamSmith @RepDwightEvans @GraceNapolitano @RepDonaldPayne @RepKevinMullin @RepPettersen. Whales and dolphins need your help! Please co-sponsor the SWIMS Act (H.R. 7145/S. 3694) and help phase out cetacean captivity!

@AlecShelbrooke, in all of our previous chats you have presented as an mp championing conservation. So will you attend the parliamentary debate on the use of bee-killing pesticides on Feb 2? Surely you agree with the experts and @WildlifeTrusts that this decision must be reversed

What's more @DVLAgovuk seem to be all but uncontactable; phone lines jammed, a dysfunctional chat bot and despite multiple emails sent, replies are autogenerated and pointless. I'm thinking of trying a carrier pigeon next!?

[Chris Gilbert @G1lbertSc1ence]

@DVLAgovuk "applications are likely to take between 6-10 weeks to process, but there may be additional delays in processing more complex transactions"...well I tried to change the address on my driver's license nearly 4months ago...I had no idea this was so complex. 1/2

[Chris Gilbert @G1lbertSc1ence]

Loving @BBCSpringwatch as always @ChrisGPackham @SteveBackshall @gillians_voice and Lolo Williams are all doing an outstanding job...but it's not the same without @michaelastracha

#HS2

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

HS2 AN IMPORTANT UPDATE . Through my brilliant legal team @LeighDay_Law I am appealing the decision of the High Court which dismissed my application for a Judicial Review and refused an injunction to stop the felling of ancient woodlands and the destruction of birds and bats .

Glad to finally be able to share this one! Here we show how the thorax scales of moths absorb the sound energy of bat echolocation calls, acting as a type of acoustic stealth coating. Hurrah!

[Chris Gilbert @G1lbertSc1ence]

Mind-blowing!!

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

Always nice to get home after a long day at work to a warm welcome at the gate . I’d be grateful if you have an issue with me and my views if you could express it without killing innocent animals . What do you think @DailyMailUK @BASCnews ?

...it's the GREEN IGUANA (Iguana iguana)!

Iguanas have a simple third eye on their crest that can detect light & movement to protect from aerial attacks!

Congratulations if you got it! Follow #2020MMM for more updates!

The #genus #Austrelaps contains all three (highlands, lowlands and pygmy) of the #australian #copperheads. All species are considered highly venomous, containing powerful neurotoxins, as well as haemolytic and cytotoxins.

#TossacointoyourWitcher...preferably a copper coin for the #lowlandcopperhead of this week's #snakesunday aka #Austrelapssuperbus another snake from the land down under (pleas donate fires are still burning)

[Chris Gilbert @G1lbertSc1ence]

This elapid (fixes front fanged) snake is not to be confused with the American viper (front hinged fangs) counterpart, with which it shares the copperhead name but is of no close relation.
