How do dogs move?
Dogs are very agile and graceful.The nimble lithe movement of a dog being paraded in a show ring would never fail to draw out a lot of oohs and aahs from spectators who are watching.
A dog that is hunting and following a trail will walk slowly.The walk will turn into a run as the dog scents the quarry.Police dogs can smell drugs from a person that is carring them.Some dogs can scence evile spirits that come in a certain home. Some people say there are dogs that are disable .
Dogs come in a different size and different lengths and weights like pit bulls and normal dog that people know and stay with. I love dogs as I love my parents.

HOW WINGS ALLOW BIRDS TO FLY
A bird has many types of its wings.It has eleven layers of feathers in its wings.To fly well,birds must have most of their wieght in their center of gravity,and very little weight in front of or behind it. Birds have many different ways of taking off. Some birds run into the wind and rush of air beneath their wings lifts them up.Others jump of cliffs and other high perches.For example CHIMNY SWIFTS simply let go of their chimney perch and fall into the air.Some birds can just go straight up with perched position without jumping

How do dogs move
Dogs move in different ways,different breeds would have their different signature movements.some dogs would waggle when they walk,some would amble.Others would seem to be in such a hurry while another breed would seem to be alawats strolling in the park.A Greyhound would run at full speed while a bulldog encumbered by a heavy body will have a slow gait.
All dog breeds have different ways of moving but all dogs walk.Walking is a dog thing the walk and trot entail the same leg movements.the trot m faster movement though would be

HOW DO SNAILS MOVE
The word snail is loosely used for almost all members of molluscan class which coiled shells in the adult stage.most snails move by gliding long on their muscular foot,which is lubricated with mucus.
snails are quit slow ,but they always get to wear they need to go,they have what is considered to be a flat foot beneath their body.there are muscles in this foot begin to expand and contract.by doing this there is a movement that actually pushes the snail along on their journey.the mucus that is secreted provides protection for the snails if they happen to be walking on dangerously pointy things.

HOW DO BIRDS WINGS ALLOW THE BIRD TO FLY?
THERE ARE ALMOST AS MANY WAYS OF FLYING AS THERE ARE KINDS OF BIRDS.ALBATROSSESGLIDE AND SOAR WITH LONG NARROW WINGS STRETCHED OUT,SOMETIMES STAYING ALOFT FOR HOURS WITHOUT A SINGLE WING BEAT.HUMMING BIRDS , ON THE OTHER HAND , CAN'T REST THEIR WINGS FOR EVEN A SECOND IN FLIGHT. WOODPECKERSHAVE A SWOOPING FLIGHT, CROWS FLY IN A STRAIGHT LINE, AND SWALLOWS DART AND WEAVE EVERY WHICH WAY.
DESIGNED FOR FLIGHT
BIRD WINGS ARE NOT THE ONLY PART OF THEIR BODIES DESIGNED FOR FLIGHT. JUST ABOUT EVERY PART OF A BIRD BODY IS SPECIALLYADAPTED TO HELP THE BIRD FLY.A BIRD'S "CENTRE OF GRAVITY" IS THE BALANCE POINT BETWEEN ITS TWO WINGS AND BETWEEN ITS HEAD AND TAIL.
TAKING OFF!!!!!
WE HUMANS COULD TRY LEAPING AND FLAPPING OUR ARMS, OR RUNNING INTO A STIFF WIND, BUT WE WOULD'NT GET VERY FAR OFF THE GROUND! THE REASON BIRDSCAN IS BECAUSE OF THE SPECIAL SHAPE OF THEIR WINGS .THE BONES OF A BIRD'S WINGS ARE IN FRONT, COVERED WITH A SMOOTH LAYER OF FEATHERS THAT TAPER TOWARDS THE BACK.THE BACK OF THE WING IS JUST A SINGLE LAYER OF FLIGHT FEATHERS.WHEN AIR COMES STRAIGHT TOWARDS AN AIRFOIL THE SPECIAL CAUSES THE AIR TO FLOW FASTER ON TOP OF THE WING THAN UNDER IT.

HOW SNAKES MOVE
SNAKES HAVE DIFFERENT FOUR WAYS OF MOVING. SINCE SNAKES DONT HAVE LEGS THEY USE THEIR MUSCLES AND SCALES TO HELP THEM DO THE 'walking'.
SERPENTINE METHOD: THEY MOVE IN A WAVY MOTION.THEY WILL PUSH OFF OF ANY BUMP OR OTHER SURFACE LIKE ROCKS,TREES ETC.THIS MOVEMENT IS ALSO KNOWN AS LATERAL UNDULATION.
CONCERTINA METHOD:THIS IS A MORE DIFFICULT WAY FOR SNAKES TO MOVE BUT IS EFFECTIVE IN TIGHT SPACES.THE SNAKE BRACES THE BACK PORTION OF THEIR BODY WHILE PUSHING AND EXTENDING THE FRONT PORTION.
SIDEWINDING:THE SNAKE APPERS TO THROW ITS HEAD FORWARD AND THE REST OF ITS BODY FOLLOWS WHILE THE HEAD IS THROWN FORWARD AGAIN.THIS IS ALSO A DIFFICULT MOTION TO DESCRIBE BUT ITS OFTEN USED BY SNAKES TO MOVE ON LOOSE OR SLIPPERY SURFACES.
RECTILINEAR:THE SNAKE USES SOME OF THE WIDE SCALES ON ITS BELLY TO GRIP THE GROUND WHILE PUSHING FORWARD WITH THE OTHERS.
HOW DO THEY MOVE?
MOST SNAKES MOVE BY COILING THEIR BODIES INTO A SERIES OF S-SHAPEP LOOPS.SOME LARGE SNAKES,LIKE BOAS,MOVE IN A WAY SIMILARTO A CATERPILLAR.SNAKES THAT LIVE IN THE DESERT HAVE A HARDER TIME GETTING THE TRACTION NECESSARY MOVEMENT. THESE SNAKES ARE CALLED SIDEWINDERS,MOVE IN A SIDEWAYS MOTION THAT ALLOWS THEM TO SLITHER ALONG ON THE EVER-SHIFTING SURFACE.

HOW DO DOGS MOVE?
DOGS MOVE IN DIFFERENT WAYS.DIFFERENT BREEDS WOULD HAVE THEIR DIFFERENTSIGNATURE MOVEMENTS. SOME DOGS WOULD WAGGLE WHEN THEY WALK;SOME AMBLE.OTHERS WOULD SEEM TO BE IN SUCH A HURRY WHILE ANOTHERBREED WOULD TO BE ALWAYS STROLLING IN THE PARK.A DOG WOULD RUN ;GALLOP;SPRINT OR AIMLESSLYAMBLE AROUND.ALL DOG BREEDS HAVE DIFFERENT WAYS OF
.MOVING BUT ALL DOGS WALK.WALKING IS A THING.
RIGHT FORELEG AND LEFT HIND LEG WILL MOVE AT THE SAME TIME GOING TO THE SAME DIRECTION.THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY THE LEFT SIMULTANEOUS MOVEMENT OF THE LEFT FORELEG AND THE RIGHT HIND LEG.
A DOG THAT IS HUNTING AND FOLLOWING A TRAIL WILL WALK SLOWLY.THE WALK WILL TURN INTO A RUN AS THE DOG SCENTS THE QUARRY.THE RUN WILL TURN INTO A FULL GALLOP AS SOON AS THE DOG SEES THE ANIMAL IT IS HUNTING.AN ENTHUSIASTICALLY RUNNING DOG WOULD SLOW DOWN ITS MOVEMENT AS IT APPROCHES THE MASTER.

how snakes move
snakes have four ways of moving around they don't have legs they use their muscles and their scales to do the walking.They move in a wavy motion.This movement is also known as lateral undulation.
Snakes have no arms or legs, yet they can move fairly swiftly through grass,sand ,and in some cases, water and they can easily climb trees . snakes can achieve such amazing mobility thanx to well developed muscles and a row of scales,called ventral scales,on the undersides of their bodies. snakes that live in the desert have a harder time getting the traction nesecary for movement.
