Flying Snake Hunts Leaping Lizard | National Geographic
It's time for some high-stakes acrobatics in the Indonesian jungle. Gliding tree snakes know how to get the jump on a quick meal. But to catch this flying dragon, the snake will need to be quick indeed.

Fascinating how flight/near-flight has developed. Birds and bats (and pterosaurs) use forelimbs, these snakes and lizards use ribs, and while the jury’s still out on insects, one theory suggests their wings developed from the _gills_ of aquatic ancestors.

The snake does "fly" - it merely glides, aided by flattening its body.
But how did the cameraman know at what tree it's gonna land at 01:42. Very impressive

The snake does not "fly" / glide for the purpose of pursuing prey. It is an escape mechanism; it really has no idea where it is eventually going to land.

they use drone, and make a lot of footage and take the most perfect one. And for the lizard, that what we called, ability. Maybe for the lizard, 30 feet jump is like 1 inch jump for us
How to fiting your camera in same angle of snake flying sides😧🤔
So nice 👌🥰😍
