Snakes started as burrowers, not swimmers

    It says a new report in that article, yet I was taught this many years ago in my Biology class. It seems folks can get funding for research into already known facts these days.

    Good find by the way, :) I am just unimpressed a bit by the contents.:(

    No worries, I too thought this was old news. But as you say, they seem to do a lot of research into known facts indeed :S

    Plus, I have to post something or I'll lose my perfect record :D

    I also thought it was conventionally thought that snakes evolved from lizards similar to monitors that made use of burrows.
