For years, people have wondered how "flying snakes" fly/glide. They wondered "How can they go 79 feet without touching any surface?" The answer is now clear: They turn into a living helicopter blade. What the snakes do, is flatten their entire body apart from their head with a special mechanism in their spine. Then they jump and fall briefly before twirling their bodies.
