because snakes can mate better
A snake's skeleton consists of the skull, vertebral column, ribs, and a pair of pelvic girdle bones known as vestigial remnants of hind limbs. It lacks limbs and a breastbone, which allows for the snake's elongated and flexible body structure.
Nope, it's part of the appendicular skeleton.

The pectoral region refers to the chest area, specifically the muscles and structures in front of the chest. The pelvic region refers to the area of the body below the abdomen, including the pelvis, hips, and groin. Each region has its own set of muscles, bones, and organs that serve different functions in the body.
The scientific name for the hip girdle is the "pelvis." It consists of several bones, primarily the ilium, ischium, and pubis, which are fused together in adults. The pelvis serves as a vital structure for supporting the upper body, facilitating movement, and protecting pelvic organs.

The nonfunctional vestigial pelvic girdle and limb bones in boa constrictors are referred to as pelvic spurs or pelvic vestiges. These remnants are thought to be remnants of their evolutionary history when their ancestors had functional legs.
The presence of a pelvic girdle and leg bones in an adult python is an example of vestigial structures. These are anatomical remnants that were functional in ancestral species but have lost their original purpose through evolution. In pythons, these structures indicate a historical lineage that possessed limbs, though the modern snake has adapted to a limbless form for its environment and lifestyle.
The pelvic girdle does not include the sacrum and coccyx, which are part of the axial skeleton.
In comparison to a male pelvic girdle, a female pelvic girdle typically has a wider pelvic inlet and wider pubic angle, allowing for childbirth. Additionally, the female pelvic bones are generally lighter and thinner than those of a male.
The illium, ischium, and pubic are the 3 pelvic bones that articulate with the pelvic girdle
The pectoral girdle is typically lighter in weight compared to the pelvic girdle. This is because the pectoral girdle is designed for more flexibility and mobility in upper body movements, while the pelvic girdle provides support and stability to the lower body.
Most of the "higher evolved" animals I can think of have a vestigial structure or two. The most common example given is of the vestigial leg structures that can be found in the back of whales. Ostriches can't fly so i think their wings are considered vestigial. Humans have a vestigial tail bone.
No, the femur does not insert into the pelvic girdle at the patella. The femur connects to the pelvic girdle at the acetabulum, which is located in the hip bone. The patella, or kneecap, is a bone that sits in front of the knee joint and provides protection and leverage for the quadriceps muscle, but it is not involved in the connection between the femur and the pelvic girdle.
pelvic girdle
yes
yes. it does.
