Amazon python

The Amazon python is the largest snake in the world today. It can reach ten meters in length and weigh more than 225 kilograms, which is as thick as the trunk of an adult man. But generally speaking, the length of boa constrictors is less than five and a half meters.

Pythons are naturally fond of water and usually inhabit mudflats or shallow waters, preying on waterfowl, turtles, capybara, tapirs and so on. Sometimes they even swallow the caiman, which is two and a half meters long. The boa constrictor will wrap the caiman tightly until it suffocates, then swallow it whole and not eat for the next few weeks.

Although adult pythons are terrible carnivores, young pythons are only 760 mm long at birth. Young babies are viviparous, sometimes as many as 70 at a time. Many young snakes were eaten by caimans. Survivors will swallow caiman in turn when they grow up ~!

They are considered to be the heaviest snakes in the world. Like to live in swamps, shallow streams and still rivers, it is the biggest snake in Qin. Most pythons are active at night, but they are often seen sunbathing in broad daylight.
