lilyspetal Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 These animals/insects are able of traveling on water, why aren't other reptiles/insects able to do the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNow Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I believe it has to do with surface tension and distribution of weight. Snakes and other such animals push their weight onto the surface of the water using a greater force than the surface tension can resist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
