What is a flying snake? Golden flower snake.

The Golden Flower Snake is called a flying snake mainly because it can bounce and shuttle at high altitude and make similar flying movements in mid-air, so it is named.

In fact, they only use the swing of their body muscles for short-term landing and air sliding. When they fly, they climb to the top, compress muscles and flatten their bodies.

So as to enhance the air resistance when landing, and then pop up and glide to the destination. Even without wings or limbs, the gliding skills of golden snakes can be comparable to or even better than those of squirrels or other gliding animals.

Extended data:

According to legend, one day a long time ago, the Queen Mother sent tea fairy Lu Yu to plant tea in Baishiya, Shiwan Mountain, but the tea seeds planted again and again disappeared.

Because of this, after many explorations, Lu Yu realized that it was a golden flower snake. It dug up the tea seeds planted by Lu Yu and swallowed them into the stomach to make stuffing.

Liu Yu was very angry after seeing it. Waving the cloud-expelling whip given to him by the heavenly queen, the golden flower snake was caught off guard and hit by the magic whip for seven inches, rolling painfully in the air and crawling along the southwest with difficulty.

As the pain intensified, it fell into the dense forest at the junction of Ningming, Longzhou and Shangsi, at the southern foot of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The golden flower snake is dead. After the death of the golden flower snake, the tea seeds germinated in the belly of the golden flower snake for a period of time, breaking the rotten snake body.

The queen mother waved the rain whip, and a heavy rain washed the tea buds in the belly of the golden flower snake onto the land, took root and sprouted, and thrived. After several spring and autumn, tea trees have multiplied into green tea forests.

Perhaps influenced by the golden yellow genetic gene of Golden Flower Snake, tea fairy Lu Yu planted it himself and irrigated it by the spring water attached to the valley below the mountain. Camellia of tea tree is very strange, huge and golden. The Queen Mother named it Camellia.
