There are certain species of snake that can leap from branch to branch, getting their name ‘jumping snakes’. These snakes are tree-dwelling species such as bronzeback tree snakes and common tree snakes.

Scientists have recently been looking into the surprising ways that snakes are able to move around. These experiments and behaviour monitoring has revealed new insights into the ways reptiles are able to move.
