Let’s slither into the evolutionary history of snakes with Museum scientist Marco Camaiti!
When you picture a snake, the thought of one walking along the ground might not immediately spring to mind. But years ago, their ancestors used to look and move more like lizards.
Join Charlie Brewer as he asks all the most pressing questions about snake leg evolution. Like, if a snake could wear trousers, how would it wear them? And if life was a game of snakes and ladders, could snakes eventually re-evolve legs?
