“Lizards scurry in the leaf litter at my feet, monkeys feed noisily in the branches above nay head, a vine snake makes its sinuous way toward an unsuspecting small bird.”

“The two earlier ones are stocky and powerful while the later ones, slender and long-limbed, dance with supple, sinuous grace.”

“The sinuous river snaked its way through the lush valley, its sparkling water flowing freely and gracefully.”
