1. sidewinder

   A sidewinder is a type of small, venomous rattlesnake (Crotalus cerastes) native to desert regions in the Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico. This snake is best known for its unique method of locomotion, or sidewinding, in which it moves sideways in an S-shape across sandy surfaces. The term "sidewinder" can also refer to other items or devices that move, function, or operate in a sidewinding or lateral motion. For instance, in military context, it refers to a type of short-range, air-to-air missile.
