About this tag
The kinetics tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about the mechanics of motion, including biological movement such as the gliding flight of flying snakes. While the site primarily focuses on Windows and technology, this tag is used for topics related to the physics of motion and animal locomotion. The single thread under this tag explores how Chrysopelea paradisi snakes glide without wings, analyzing the biomechanics and aerodynamic principles involved. This content is relevant for users interested in the science of movement, whether in nature or engineering contexts.

Flying snakes' secret revealed
Link Removed Link Removed The snake dangles 49 feet (15 meters) off the ground, tail entwined around a branch. Suddenly, the animal rears up and launches, flinging its body toward the forest floor. In other reptiles, the leap would be suicidal, or at least an invitation for broken...- cybercore
