Locomotor kinematics on sand versus vinyl flooring in the sidewinder rattlesnake Crotalus cerastes

For terrestrial locomotion of animals and machines, physical characteristics of the substrate can strongly impact kinematics and performance. Snakes are an especially interesting system for studying substrate effects because their gait depends more on the environment than on their speed. We tested s...
