vanity - does snakes have legs?
Posted on 08/26/2004 11:32:48 AM PDT by InvisibleChurch
i know that snakes don't have legs when they are born, but it's my understanding that snakes show some sort of leg growth while they are developing ... is this so and are there any pictures of this?

I seem to recall birds (very very rarely) grow teeth; there's a genetic program in there for teeth that is normally switched off in birds. Archeopteryx had teeth.
Whales still have arms, hands, legs and feet, with the exact same complement of bones in the same configuration as most other mammals, but modified to form flippers or simply vanished from view, inside their bodies and completely vestigial.
Human feet reflect their origin in arboreal ape feet (our ancestors climbed trees as modern chimps do, grasping with both feet and hands). Our feet are beautifully adapted to bipedal walking, but you can still grasp objects between your big toe and the neighboring toe.

English was never your strong subject, was it? Can we please change the title to "do snakes have legs?" It's embarrassing.

Once again, the best spelling/grammar errors come in vanity posts.
