Huh, I didn't know snakes can climb that well.

One of my favourite surprising animal facts is that many semiaquatic turtle species can actually climb over substantial obstacles. They have claws, and when climbing, they actually move very slowly and methodically. (Turtles are also surprisingly fast on flat ground. It's just that the shells are a bit cumbersome.)

These kind of snakes climb up jungle trees when they're in their natural habitat.

Three pictures showing a python tied around a tree trunk, then with its head reaching upwards and then with half its wrapped around the trunk higher up.
