Animals

They primarily feed on small rodents, but also eat unguarded eggs, amphibians, and other reptiles. They bite their prey, and coil around it to subdue it, then swallow it whole, starting with the head.

Corn snakes found their way outside the U.S. thanks to the illegal pet trade.

From eggs hybrids are hatched (quite a rare phenomenon in animals living in the wild). Ornithologists have counted over 20 types of such hybrids in birds of paradise.

The eggs are not tended to by the female. The young hatch after approximately 10 weeks of incubation.

This phenomenon is typical of common chimpanzees, as well as other aggressive behaviors caused by the struggle for influence in the herd. In bonobos, such behaviors have not been observed.
