Question

Why do snakes move in loops and not in a straight line?

Open in App
Solution

  • Snakes move in S-shaped loops and in a zig-zag manner.
  • Each loop of the snake gives it a forward push by pressing against the ground.
  • Due to its long body it makes many loops and each loop gives the forward push, making snakes move forward very fast and not in a straight line.
