Has anyone seen a anatomicaly ‘accurate’ picture of a Naga? Like I always thought it was weird that Nagas have hips when they don’t walk, they slither

Well from my understanding 95% of snakes in the world gives life birth so the wide hips can can be 100% accurate and on top of that some snakes can be born with out no scales so the upper body of a naga is accurate as well, plus there is some evidence that snakes do you have a hip even tho they don’t have legs.

30% give birth to live. And that wouldn’t mean they have hips since infant snakes have different anatomy than human infants. 

maybe same reason mermaids have hips. to trick their main prey into coming closer under the guise of finding a mate.
