Pythons are one of the largest snakes. Pythons live in the tropical areas of Africa and
Asia. They can be found in rainforests, savannas and deserts. A lot of people keep them as
pets.

Pythons are constrictors. They kill their prey by squeezing them until they stop
breathing. Unlike many other snake species, pythons don’t produce venom – they are non-
venomous snakes. One of the longest known python species is Reticulated Python which can
reach 30 feet in length. Most snakes weigh between 260-300 pounds.

After they kill an animal, they will swallow it in one piece.Everything except fur and
feathers will be digested. Undigested material can be found in the python’s poop. Size of the
prey determines the time needed for digestion. Bigger prey can keep the snake satiated for
weeks or months. Pythons eat 4-5 times per year.

Pythons have heat-sensing organs which help them locate the prey. They eat wild
animals such as monkeys, antelopes, caimans, etc. Pythons attack their prey from the ambush.
They are well camouflaged and hidden usually in the trees. Although they are mainly located
on the ground or in the trees, pythons are excellent swimmers. Colors of the python’s skin are
usually similar to the colors of its habitat. Snakes blend easily with their environment.

Female lays 12-36 eggs. She protects eggs and keeps them warm by coiling her body
around them. When babies hatch, mother leaves the nest. Young snakes need to look after
themselves from the first day.

Marsh frog can reach 4.7 to 7 inches in length and 0.4 to 0.5 ounces of weight. Marsh
frog is the largest species of frog in Europe (compared with other native species of frog).
Males are much smaller than females (2/3 of their size).

Marsh frog has warty skin that can be dark green, brown or grey in color. Dorsal side
of the body is often covered with dark lines and spots. Marsh frog has large head with eyes
on top of it, robust body and long hind legs with webbed feet that facilitate swimming and
movement across the slippery ground.

deep water as soon as it detects danger. Natural enemies of marsh frogs are birds (such as
herons), reptile (such as grass snake), large toads, fish and various species of mammals.

Marsh frog is a carnivore. Its diet is based on various insects (dragonflies and flies are
its favorite type of food), spiders, earthworms and slugs.

Tiger swallowtail is an insect that belongs to the group of swallowtail butterflies. It

can be found in North America (from Canada to Mexico). Tiger swallowtail inhabits
woodlands, edges of the forests, pastures, meadows, swamps, parks and gardens.

Tiger swallowtail can reach 3.5 to 4.5 inches in length. It has a wingspan of 4 to 5
inches and it usually moves by gliding through the air.

Tiger swallowtail has long, thin, black body with one pair of antennas on top of the
head, 3 pairs of legs and 2 pair of large wings. Name “tiger swallowtail” refers to black, tiger-
like stripes on the wings and long, pointed wing tails that look like swallow’s tail (type of
bird).

Tiger swallowtail has straw-like tube in the mouth which functions like flexible
tongue designed for suction of liquids. “Tongue” is curled into spiral when it is not in use.
Tiger swallowtail visits oregano, purple coneflowers, zinnias and butterfly bush to extract
nectar from the flowers. It occasionally consumes juice extracted from the overripe fruit.

Female produces 2 to 3 broods in a lifecycle. She lays yellowish-green, spherical eggs

on wild cherry, tulip tree, white ash and sweet bay. Leaves of these plants are basic source of
food for the caterpillars (larvae that hatch from eggs). Nests made of leaves and silk are used
as shelter from the predators.

Caterpillars are initially brown. They change the color into green with blue spots
arranged in rows and develop yellow-black eyespots. Caterpillars can reach 2 inches in
length.

Brown caterpillar resembles bird droppings, while eyespots on green caterpillar look
like eyes of a snake. Both morphological features repel predators.

At the end of the larval stage, hard capsule (cocoon) forms around caterpillar. This
stage, called pupa, ends with adult butterfly which emerges from the cocoon few days later.

Tiger swallowtail completes its life cycle (from egg to adult butterfly) in one month.
Adult butterfly usually lives one month.

1.000 animals. Scientists believe that each spinner dolphin produces specific whistle which
can be recognized by other members of the group.
