Animals

As an ectothermic animal, pythons need to bask in the sun to warm their bodies. Black head allows them to absorb sun energy quicker.

They dig a hole with claws on their flippers and lay an average of 140 eggs, which then they cover with sand and leaves. After the process is done, females return to the ocean, leaving eggs behind.

Specimens of the sea lamprey have been recorded at depths of 4000 m (2,5 mi).

Their head is not as massive as that of males and they do not have such a strong jaw grip.

Usually, acts of cannibalism occur when food is scarce. Probably for this reason, juveniles have evolved the ability to climb trees and shrubs, which they lose with age.

They can live in freshwater, brackish water, saltwater, and on land. Leeches prefer shallow, still, ...

The gestation lasts for 12 months, and after the female gives birth, she takes a year-long break between the litters.

Caterpillars stay at the same tree they hatched. Trees are not harmed in any significant way as the moth population is not large enough.

They are quiet animals that rarely make sounds.
