Reptiles move in many different
ways. Snakes have no limbs, so they move by making a wave-like motion
with their bodies. Some tree-climbing snakes wrap their tails around
a tree then hook their necks to a higher part and pull their bodies
up the tree. Larger snakes move by digging their scales into the ground
and pulling their bodies forward. Turtles usually move by walking on
their four limbs or swimming in the water. Lizards also move in different
ways, depending on their bodies and habitats. Some lizards can run quickly
on their hind legs. Others use scaled disks on each toe that helps them
to cling to smooth surfaces. Some lizards can swim and others can climb
trees.
