Solution

Snake legs:

  1. Snakes usually don’t have legs.
  2. There are no bones of legs that can be found in them.
  3. The body of the snake consists of a backbone which is made up of 200-300 vertebrae along which many ribs are attached.
  4. However in some cases like the python and boa constrictors we observe tiny hind leg bones buried in the muscles towards their tail ends.
