- The scientists have documented and modelled a previously unrecorded escape movement used by newborn yellow anacondas.
- It is dubbed the ‘S-start’, the motion represents a novel, non-planar locomotion that the snakes employ briefly to flee from perceived threats.
- The discovery opens new avenues in the study of snake evolution and the design of soft-bodied robots.
- The S-start is a transient motion, meaning it cannot be used continuously.
