I guess that backwards pointing belly scales would help, but do not know whether these differ between the three types. worth checking up on, some day...<br /><br />(By the way: yesterday I thought of a possible way to have a working clap-and-fling wing design for a triradial flying organism; more later).Sigmund Nastrazzurrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449461215427527447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821098719340852065.post-14085417956940069052010-11-29T23:39:21.798+01:002010-11-29T23:39:21.798+01:00I've always been impressed by how snakes actua...I've always been impressed by how snakes actually climb trees, which is different from how the "snake-bot" accomplishes the same thing. They must have some serious traction on their undersides to do scale trees how they do.Evan Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10493966209787828900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821098719340852065.post-61282222387267717872010-11-29T21:52:04.759+01:002010-11-29T21:52:04.759+01:00Well I can certainly see how the last snake-bot co...Well I can certainly see how the last snake-bot could be successful evolutionary speaking. Those genes would surely be spread as I could see the ladies being all over that one. ;D<br /><br />Awesome blog as usual! This really is the go-to-place for anything xenobiological. As someone who has no education in evolution or biology (apart from what you get from regular school here in sweden) but also has an interest in realistic aliens your posts are invaluable lessons for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821098719340852065.post-21071833530138475782010-11-29T03:29:15.399+01:002010-11-29T03:29:15.399+01:00thank you for sharing these; definately food for t...thank you for sharing these; definately food for thought.<br /><br />A thought regarding the C-rollers: perhaps either the eyes are bunched together at the center of either end of the body (on the "nose"- and tail-tip of a snake), or are on the sides of the body at various intervals (all shielded from bumping the ground - like snakes or trilobites)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
