Undulatory locomotion

Undulatory locomotion is a movement method where an organism propels itself by generating wave-like motions along its body. This type of movement is common in animals like snakes, eels, and certain worms. The organism bends and flexes its muscles to produce continuous waves that travel from head to tail, pushing against the ground or water to create forward motion. The shape, wavelength, and amplitude of these waves can vary depending on the environment and the creature. Overall, undulatory locomotion enables efficient movement over diverse terrains or through fluids by transforming muscular contractions into coordinated, wave-like movements.
