2. Sidewinding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidewinding

   Sidewinding is a type of locomotion unique to snakes, used to move across loose or slippery substrates. It is most often used by the Saharan horned viper, Cerastes cerastes , the Mojave sidewinder rattlesnake , Crotalus cerastes , and the Namib desert sidewinding adder, Bitis peringueyi , to move across loose desert sands, and also by ...

3. Rectilinear locomotion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectilinear_locomotion

   Rectilinear locomotion relies upon two opposing muscles, the costocutaneous inferior and superior, which are present on every rib and connect the ribs to the skin. [5] [6] Although it was originally believed that the ribs moved in a "walking" pattern during rectilinear movement, studies have shown that the ribs themselves do not move, only the muscles and the skin move to produce forward ...

4. Undulatory locomotion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undulatory_locomotion

   Snakes can exhibit 5 different modes of terrestrial locomotion: (1) lateral undulation, (2) sidewinding, (3) concertina, (4) rectilinear, and (5) slide-pushing. Lateral undulation closely resembles the simple undulatory motion observed in many other animals such as in lizards, eels and fish, in which waves of lateral bending propagate down the ...

9. Concertina movement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concertina_movement

   This mode of concertina, while still slower than lateral undulation or sidewinding, is still fairly fast, with snakes moving approximately 10% of their length per second. [3] However, because the snake is straightening and re-forming bends, it requires the entire space of the tunnel to move, and any obstruction will disrupt locomotion.
