animals movement eg snake - slides?

Answer 1

Snakes move in pattern known as sinusoidal movement. They accomplish this by two means;

1) the scales along the belly (Scutes) allow for supperior traction. The scutes have a slight degree of movement in which they grab the substrate at different points along the body

2) the snake also forces its body into an "S" shape, and flicks its body out of this position to give it enough steam to move.

I hope this answers your question!

rhythymic cycles of the scales propel it forward, so technically it walks on scales.Slithers is the usual term used.Sidewinders actually lift sections of it's body clear of sand as it moves
