In nature, does a huge python really have no natural predators?

Of course, there are predators. If a giant python eats an animal larger than it, it will be motionless because it has to be digested, so it will become food for other pythons. So the natural enemy of the python is itself.

In fact, there are still natural predators. It's just that the python has natural enemies when it is a child, but if it grows into adulthood, it will have no natural enemies at all.

No, although the python is huge, after he eats, it becomes larger and slower, allowing it to be preyed upon by large animals.

The natural enemies of the giant python are plants such as kudzu vines and grass bitterness, and when encountering a python, if you throw kudzu vines and other arrowroot vines, the python will immediately stand still, and it is easy to tie up kudzu vines. The python is a large primitive snake, widely distributed in tropical and temperate regions of the world, there are about 20 species in the world, most of them are terrestrial or semi-aquatic, and some are arboreal.

The python has a stout body and is a non-venomous snake, with a body color of mostly brown, green or pale yellow, and markings or diamond-shaped patterns.

Pythons are the only solitary animals in the giant sedan chair, they have no social activities, only when mating and giving birth, several pythons of the same species will gather in a closed year to cultivate.

Pythons often swim at night, and with the help of their large vertebrae, they can easily move quickly on the road or on branches close to the ground without attracting attention.

On Earth, there are no natural predators for creatures at the top of the food chain, such as lions, tigers, and pythons.

The big python has almost no natural predators:

Pythons are large snakes that can reach more than 3 meters in adults. They usually use sneak attacks when hunting, and when the prey passes by, the python will tightly entangle each other, making it impossible for the other party to break free. When the prey stops beating and breathing, the python releases its prey and slowly eats its lunch.

Unlike the anatomy of the human body, the mouth of a python is connected by ligaments and muscles, which allows its mouth to open very wide without dislocating, an opening that biologists call a "cleft".

The size of the slit determines the upper limit of the amount of food that a snake can swallow, and in general, a snake can swallow a creature about its own size, but due to the snake's strong muscle contraction ability, no predator dares to attack them, so that large pythons have few natural predators in the wild.

Most animals don't want to be enemies of pythons:

The python is very small when it is born, only about 10 centimeters long, and the python is a non-venomous snake and is not threatening to other animals, so crocodiles, birds and carnivores will use them as energy**.

As the baby python grows up, the python's natural predators become fewer, but the lion and the crocodile are still the main threats to the python. Only when the python is large enough to reach more than 3 meters will the predators try to avoid fighting with them.

This is because pythons have relatively strong muscles, and it is difficult to get out once they are entangled by pythons, and even if they can get out, they will consume a lot of energy, so preying on adult pythons is not cost-effective for large predators. <>

The natural enemies of the python are humans, larger congeners, marching ants, bay crocodiles, and for small and medium-sized pythons, its natural enemies are flathead and king cobras.

Although the adult python has almost no natural enemies, the python has a lot of natural enemies when it is born, the snake is an oviparous animal, and because the snake is a cold-blooded animal, the incubation time of the snake egg depends on the outside temperature, but unlike other cold-blooded animals, the python has egg protection behavior when facing natural enemies.

Python habitsPythons have a habit of winding, they rely on a strong winding force to strangle food, and sometimes they also use their bodies to climb and wrap themselves on tree poles, pythons are also good swimmers, especially anacondas, are the overlords in the water. Python likes heat and is afraid of cold, the most suitable temperature is 35 55, 20 o'clock less activity, 15 o'clock begins to be numb, if the temperature continues to drop to 15-16 that is, death; Death after prolonged exposure to strong sunlight. Pythons feed at 25 or more, hibernate for 4 to 5 months, and begin to be active after sunrise after stinging in spring.

<> we are generally scared when we see snakes in our lives, and there are not many opportunities like this in big cities. But in the countryside, you can still encounter it occasionally. Do you know what are the natural predators of adult pythons? Let's take a look!

1. What are the natural enemies of adult pythons?

Adult pythons have few natural predators, and are almost only threatened by large carnivores. The adult python has a very powerful attack power, which is not easy to obtain.

Second, the living habits of pythons.

1. Good climbing, can live in water for a long time, lethargy, nocturnal, omnivorous. This species likes heat and is afraid of cold, and the activity state is average at 25 o'clock; Very active when above 30; 20 hours of inactivity or little activity; At 15 o'clock, the person who defecated began to be numb; When the temperature continues to be below 5-6, the python dies. When the room temperature rises above 35, it does not like to move; Exposure to strong sunlight for too long can also cause death, and the feeding temperature should be above 25.

2. The activity varies according to the season, and it is generally inactive in winter, and when the temperature rises above 25, it only appears briefly after noon. In spring and autumn, there is activity after sunrise and less activity at night. In hot weather, they often take food at night, and often hide in the shade to rest in the afternoon.

After the high fever, they start to become active. On rainy days, there is little activity, and when it is windy, they go into the cave to hide. It has the habit of hibernation in groups, and the hibernation period is about 4 months, and the cold zone is about 5 months.

Hibernation mostly uses natural caves, animal dens and grottoes.

Indonesia captures a giant python that is a long meter and weighs 447 kilograms. This python is by far the largest in the world. x0d x0a The serpent was found in a primeval forest on the western Indonesian island of Sumatra, where locals captured it and sold it to the park, where the park's managers named the serpent "Osmanthus".

Although the name sounds gentle, it is said that the large mouth of "osmanthus" is very intimidating once it is opened, and it can easily swallow an entire person. x0d x0a Indonesia's local ** reported that Indonesia's National Institute of Science, Agricultural Research Institute and other academic institutions have tested the snake to confirm its length, weight and breed. Many zoologists say they have never seen a snake this big and long.

The larvae are viviparous, sometimes up to 70 in a litter. Many young oysters are eaten by caimans. When the survivors grow up, they devour caimans in turn!

The snake's eyes are on the top of its head to make it easier to see when moving underwater. Adult green anacondas can easily entangle and eat a caiman more than a meter long, and there have been records of eating jaguars. The green anaconda is an ovoviviparous snake that gives birth to young snakes that are 60 centimeters long each.

Its huge size, amazing strength, and terrifying aggression make the green anaconda stand at the top of the food chain in the Amazon forest. I once watched a movie that described the attack of the green anaconda: if you get entangled in anaconda, you will hear the sound of your own bones breaking...
