Different Wave Types

Whoever made this meme deserves a Nobel Prize in Interdisciplinary Humor! The top half shows actual seismic waves from geology - S waves (shear waves) move in a sinusoidal pattern while P waves (pressure waves) travel in straight compression lines. Then the bottom half delivers the punchline by showing snakes whose bodies literally match these wave patterns! The Python (P-nake) is straight like a P wave, while the boa constrictor (S-nake) curves exactly like an S wave. It's the perfect visual representation of how scientists secretly categorize reptiles based on seismological principles. Field herpetologists are probably sharing this in their group chats right now!
