PYTHON

Pythons live near the equator,Asia,and Africa,were there huge body's can stay warm.They usually live in caves and in trees.Being closer to people means that the pythons natural food source is going down so they have to find something else to eat which leads to them eating livestock and pets and they will attack people when they feel threatened.Pythons are part of the constrictor family which means that they squeeze there prey until they stop breathing.In the wild pythons will eat lizards,caiman,monkeys,and antelope.If the python eats large animals then that could mean that they may only need to eat 4-5 times a year.Pythons will protect there eggs by coiling there body's around the eggs and keep them warm until hatching.
