Snakes don't need a plane!

Snakes don't need a plane! A new study has found that some Southeast Asian rainforest snakes can remain airborne for up to 30 metres. They can launch themselves from any position on a tree, stretching and flattening their bodies from a circle shape into an arched semi-circle, looking kind of like a UFO in the process. It's a great way to move around their treetop home and escape from predators.
