2 Locomotion Crawling: limbs, limbless Jumping Burrowing Climbing Aquatic Gliding

3

4 Quadrupedal  bipedal Dynamic bipeds Anatomy – Longer hindlimbs, longer feet – Few presacral vertebrae – Long tail Sand, water running

5 Saltation Short, rigid vertebral column Elongate hindlimbs, feet

6 Limbless locomotion

7 Burrowing Anatomical traits – Ossified, fused skull – Compressed/pointed skull – Smooth skin/reduced # scales – Limbs reduced/absent Scratch digging Hindlimbs digging Limbless – Concertina – Internal concertina Sand swimming

8 Climbing Amphibians – Capillary adhesion – Suction Reptiles – Claws – Grasping – Scansors VDW forces – Limbless Concertina Serpentine

9 Aquatic Anatomy – Fins, webbing – Elongate, streamlined body Undulatory – Most herps Oscillatory – Frogs, turtles

10 Gliding Parachuting, gliding Anatomy – Skin flaps – Webbing – Ribs Rhacophorus, Ptychozoon, Draco, Chrysopelea
