Why desert snakes move sideways and leave mysterious tracks in the sand
Published on: May 19, 2026, 3 p.m. | Source:
Times of India
Deserts can be some of the harshest environments due to high temperatures, loose sand, and a lack of shade. Yet despite all these conditions, several snake species have successfully adapted to living in such an area using unique techniques. One of the most interesting animal movements peculiar to desert snakes is the so-called "sidewinding." Rather than moving in the typical snake-like slithering manner, this unique method leaves mysterious J-shaped tracks on desert dunes. Specialists claim this movement style allows snakes to move faster and stay out of direct contact with burning sand. Here are six fascinating facts about why desert snakes move sideways and the science behind their strange tracks.

PCOS isn’t only a fertility issue anymore: The hidden metabolic risks women must know

Times of India
For years, conversations around PCOS mostly revolved around missed periods, acne, unwanted facial hair, and difficulties in getting pregnant. Many women were told to worry about it only when they planned a family. Until then, it was often brushed aside as “hormonal imbalance” or a lifestyle issue that could wait.But the science around PCOS has changed dramatically.Doctors across the world are now warning that Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is not only a reproductive condition. In many cases, it quietly affects metabolism, hormones, heart health, sleep patterns, mental wellbeing, and even the body’s ability to process insulin properly.That shift in understanding is so significant that experts have started discussing whether the condition should even continue to be called PCOS at all.According to the NIH, PCOS affects a large number of women in India, especially adolescents and young adults, with lifestyle patterns and rising obesity rates adding to the concern.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 18: In a country where sleep quality is often overlooked despite increasingly demanding lifestyles, a fundamental truth remains widely ignored: not every mattress is designed for every body. While most consumers focus on the number of hours they spend in bed, the real determinant of restorative sleep lies in whether their mattress is tailored to their unique body profile. From posture and body weight to sleep habits and pressure distribution, these factors play a critical role in overall sleep health. Yet, conventional mattress buying in India continues to rely on oversimplified choices like 'soft' or 'firm,' leaving millions waking up fatigued, stiff, and unrested. A more personalised, science-backed approach is now beginning to reshape how consumers think about sleep starting with the mattress itself.
