Snakes and lizards have distinct body movement patterns. Lizards bend from side to side as they retract their legs to walk or run. Snakes, on the other hand, slither and undulate, like a wave that ...

Lizards possess a remarkable survival strategy where their tails detach and continue to wriggle, distracting predators and allowing the lizard to escape. This ability, controlled by nerves within the ...

Lizards, as predators, can use different prey foraging strategies that are expected to influence daily movement behavior and home range use. Variation in lizard movement behavior can be achieved via ...

Using biological experiments, robot models, and a geometric theory of locomotion, researchers investigate how and why intermediate lizard species, with their elongated bodies and short limbs, might ...
