Snakes able to

someone who suffers Ophidiophobia (phobia of snakes), snakes Chrysopelea type is probably the worst nightmare mereka.Pasalnya, these snakes do not just get close to prey by crawling, but can also fly in the air.

According to the Discovery site, the researchers have succeeded in explaining how the snakes Chrysopelea can float up to as high as 80 feet or 24 meters, between the trees habitat in Southeast Asia and South Asia.

The biologist from Virginia Tech has been researching these snakes by dropping them from the towers of a height over 49 feet or 15 meters, and record every move they do.

This snake is not to oppose gravity flying or doing other things. But the magnitude of the force produced by the snake is indeed surprising. Action ‘acrobatics’is, it can be done by using the snake’s body aerodynamics.

“The body of a snake that transverse, forming something that is usually found on a typical wing. We did not expect to find such a good aerodynamic performance,” said Jake Socha, a researcher of this research.

Snakes able to lift their bodies by utilizing a combination of excess body shape with a corner which he took when the winds pick up, or known by the term angle of attack, said Socha.
