Though fearsome predators, snakes can go weeks or even months without eating. Now, scientists think they may know how they do it.
Snakes have lost the genes to produce ghrelin, a key hormone that regulates appetite, digestion, and fat storage, researchers report.
Chameleons and a group of desert lizards called toadhead agamas that also have huge spaces between meals have also lost the same genes, hinting that cutting off ghrelin is a key way to excel at fasting, possibly by suppressing appetite and holding onto fat stores.

The first foot set on the Moon was famously one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. But did you know there was a spring in that step?
While moving around in lunar gravity, Apollo astronauts often preferred skipping to walking or running, so much so that in 1972, Apollo 17 Commander Eugene Cernan started singing “Hippity hoppity, hippity hoppity!” as he bounded across the Moon’s surface.
Humans, it turns out, aren’t the only ones who feel this urge to skip. According to a preprint, mice adopt a similar gait in response to simulated lunar gravity—a behavior that disappears when the rodents lose the ability to sense their body’s position in space.
