Flying reptiles are in the news:

• Pterosaurs
• Malaysian flying snakes, plus flying snake videos

"The whole snake itself is just one long wing," Socha said. "That wing is constantly reconfiguring, it's constantly reforming and contorting... Parts of the body, depending on where they are in space, might be interacting with the wake from the front part of the body, and this might hurt or help or be neutral."
