Pets and Animals World

Having a length that varies from 3 to 20 feet some Pythons are the longest snakes in the world. Most pythons live in the dense underbrush of rugged tropical rainforest regions. Like all snakes, Pythons are also capable swimmers. Pythons wrap themselves around their prey killing them by squeezing them to death. They swallow their prey whole, and take several days or even weeks to fully digest it. Despite their intimidating size and muscular power, they are generally not dangerous to humans. Pythons will not usually attack humans unless startled or provoked, although females protecting their eggs can be aggressive.
