Bird: How does the bird's vertebra indicate that it evolved to support flying? (Answer: The thoracic vertebrae are fused to provide a rigid upper shell to withstand the muscular forces of flight muscles. As partial compensation for this rigidity, birds have more neck vertebrae than many animals to provide enough flexibility to feed, groom, etc. See ref. 1.)
Snake: How does the snake's vertebra indicate that it evolved to support slithering? (Answer: Snakes have a large number of vertebrae, which are connected together by ball-and socket joints. These characteristics allow extreme flexibility. Together with specialized muscles, the vertebra enable the snake to move with speed and agility. See ref. 2.)
