Examining wave patterns during looped jumps. Example gap crossing trials showing that Chrysopelea and Dendrelaphis sometimes uses multiple waves of bending during non-cantilever jumps. Additional investigations of the use of traveling and standing waves during loop gap crossing behaviors, including analysis of muscle activation patterns, is warranted.
