People trying to offend the interlocutor, sometimes call him a reptile, Viper, serpent, Cobra, keeping in mind the presence of these reptiles deadly venom, aggressive behavior and irritability. These reptiles during the period of laying and the protection of their nests can even jump on its shadow – so inadequate is their behavior.

the great serpentHowever, no one ever compares people, resentment for, with such a very formidable representative of the suborder serpents like Python. Meanwhile, this predator is no less dangerous. Perhaps it is because even the largest snake-reticulated Python – very rarely attack people. A person's size does not allow him to swallow it. To break the victim into pieces and chew your food Python is not capable. The teeth of reptiles are used only for retention of the victim.

Eats the biggest snake in adulthood, birds, lizards, toads, rabbits, jackals, might struggle to swallow the ROE, the antelope, the monkey, a small crocodile. If the prey is too large, the Python can burp. Due to the fact that the biggest snake chooses food based on the dimensions of the living being, the victim may be a child or person of small stature.

The Jaw of a Python is extremely movable, the jaws can stretch, allowing it to "stretch" a dead sacrifice like the stocking on the leg. Once the prey is inside it, the predator falls into a state of slumber: it is digesting food and almost not moving at this time. Grovel if you were lucky enough to eat wild boar or deer, "holiday" can last up to 40 days.
