Transcript of the segment
What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: Smithsonian Magazine.
Vera BullockSome snakes in the Pseudorabdion genus can cartwheel away from danger, reaching up to eight point three miles per hour, Smithsonian Magazine reports.
Vera BullockAll thirteen in the lab study did it.
Rosa TicksOk, the researchers gently tapped each snake at the start of a snake-sized racetrack to make it roll, so the snakes had a little help from the humans.
Rosa TicksThe snakes did not even volunteer!
Vera BullockNot a bad point, but the snakes still rolled. That's a NOT.
Dale BearmanRolling is about four times faster than slithering, but the researchers don't know how long they can keep it up.
Dale BearmanSo the escape works right up until the snake gets dizzy. And in my experience, that is the moment the fox arrives.
Vera BullockThat is cynical, but specific. HOT.
Rosa TicksWhy is hers a NOT and his a HOT? I screamed about the racetrack!
Vera BullockBecause he stayed on the snake. You went to the racetrack, and we need to breathe about it.
Dale BearmanPoint to me.
Vera BullockResearchers say the snakes keep their heads fairly steady while rolling, to keep their bearings.
Vera BullockMy take: that snake should anchor this desk, and Dale should be the one rolling.
