Pythons are among the largest snakes in the world, growing up to 20 feet long. They live in warm habitats around Asia, Africa and Australia such as rainforests, deserts and grasslands. Pythons constrict their prey like pigs, deer and sheep, squeezing it to death before swallowing it whole. Female pythons lay between 2-100 eggs which hatchlings emerge around 2 feet long, wrapping around the eggs to keep them warm as they develop.Python

The Giant Waxy Monkey Frog is a species of frog found in tropical South American rainforests from Brazil to Peru. It lives on land but returns to water to breed during the rainy season. Males attract females by croaking, and eggs are laid in nests above water that hatch into aquatic larvae. Larvae develop lungs and legs through metamorphosis before becoming terrestrial frogs. However, the Giant Waxy Monkey Frog is threatened by habitat loss, pollution, disease, and climate change.Animals presentation
