Recently, a video was uploaded by YouTuber and engineer Allen Pan in which he literally designs robotic legs for a snake. And guess what, his design was successful. The snake did walk, and that too perfectly.
In the video, Pan also talks about reptiles and aquatic animals with legs. He goes on to say that he will prove to the audiences that he is a snake lover. He first develops a rough design, and tests it on a stuffed toy snake. But this design fails. So, he comes up with another design, and names it “Snake legs 2.0.”
He visits pet stores to see how reptiles with legs walk. Using the visual data, he makes a supportable design. And, finally, the snake is seen using the robotic exoskeleton to walk.
More than 3000 species of snakes are present on Earth. They are found everywhere except in Iceland, Antarctica, Greenland, New Zealand, and Ireland. Around 600 species are venomous, and only 200 have the ability to kill or significantly wound a human being.

What next, opposable thumbs for cats? Heaven help us if someone invents that.
And how long did said snake stay in the walking tube
Take that, nature. Your evolution is no match for our artificial technology.
That is too terrible to even contemplate.
As one does.
Snakes “lost” their legs.
Yes. When a cat can use its own can opener, it’s all over.
Now the front hands need to articulate so the snake can strangle without using its body.
God told the serpent he would have to slither on his belly.
Now we are giving back the serpent’s legs?
Worse than Cats with opposable thumbs I think.
Excellent
Snake Grandpa: I recalls back in my day we had to crawl on our bellies to go places. You younguns is spoiled rotten.
Some interpreters say the serpent with Adam and Eve in Genesis once had legs but God changed it.
One example——
What makes this an issue is that it was a land animal and/or flying reptile in general—hence, it moved by flying, slithering, or with appendages. If it slithered already, what was the point of the curse and why compare it to creatures which had legs in Genesis 3:14?
Regardless if it was a beast of the field, the serpent was indeed a land animal and capable of locomotion in the Garden of Eden and in the field.

That’s when humans become obsolete. They might keep a few of us as pets.
The guy says at the end: I am God. Seems to me I remember the original serpent of Eden thinking the same thing. Kidding or not, this guy better look out.
There is some speculation that the serpent of Genesis had wings as well as legs. That serpent represents Satan, or the spirit of Satan, whatever, who himself is represented by a dragon in Revelation, which is a winged serpent in mythology. Or a worm in some cases, which is similar. And then there’s the pagan god of meso-America known as Kukulkan, a winged feathered serpent, who often demanded human sacrifice. Were something similar to dragons around sometime in the prehistoric past? The mythos of them is pretty much universal, and not just limited to a single region or culture.
Cats really will rule the world if they get opposable thumbs.
