👉 The term "trochidae" refers to a group of animals that include birds, reptiles (including snakes and lizards), amphibians, and some fish. These animals are characterized by their elongated bodies, long necks, and smooth, flexible tails. They have a distinct pattern of vertebrae, which is called a trochoid spine. Some species also have unique adaptations for swimming or diving, such as the ability to change direction rapidly with the help of the tail.
