[[folder:Real Life]]
* Several animals in real life are known to tie themselves into knots. Eels and hagfish tie themselves into knots as a defensive measure against predators and to help them tear food apart. Eels have also been observed tying themselves into knots to give themselves leverage to pull prey out of hiding places. Hagfish also tie themselves into knots in order to remove excess slime from their bodies. Snakes normally do not tie themselves into knots and usually only do so if something is wrong with their nervous system, which may be caused by a viral infection. Snakes also tie themselves into knots during experiments where they are subjected to microgravity by a rapidly descending airplane, but why they do this is unknown.

* ''WesternAnimation/Tarzan'' in one scene is being chased by an extremely long snake. Suddenly he comes to a stop and turn to face the snake which looks like it is about to get him but it gets stuck just short of of him. The camera then zooms out to show how Tarzan had tricked it into tying itself up as it chased him though the trees around them.
