Flying snakes are found in the rainforests of India and southeastern Asia, and, despite their rather alarming name, they can't actually fly. They are, however, accomplished gliders. When a flying Snake wants to go from one tree to another, it launches itself into the air while flaring out its ribs and sucking in its stomach, thus flattening and widening its body and turning into a pseudo-concave wing. As amazing as it may sound, flying snakes are even better gliders than flying squirrels. While squirrels can glide up to 60 metres from one tree to another, flying Snakes can glide up to 100 metres or more, and they actually "slither" in mid air, which gives them better stability and some degree of control over their "flight". Flying snakes are venomous, but not dangerous to humans. They feed mostly on lizards and other small animals, and spend most of their time up trees.
