'By having greater understanding of the evolution of pythons and boas, researchers can now have better ideas of what extinct fossil snakes were doing before they disappeared,' he said. Once the girl notices she starts screaming which totally ruins the mood, so the python just eats her too. I'd like to say that this is the first and only instance of this in the history of cinema but I am probably wrong. Mr Esquerre said not all evolution was driven by natural selection, but examples such as pythons and boas reinforce its importance in shaping biological diversity. Python' features a giant snake having oral sex with a girl. The research focused on the head shape of close to 2,000 specimens in museum collections in Australia and America. Similarly, the extinct Tasmanian Tiger, a marsupial mammal, and the wolf, a placental mammal, evolved similar body plans.ДЄlthough they look the similar and both constrict their prey, the pythons and boas last shared a common ancestor 70 million years ago in the age of the dinosaurs. Python is the name of a programming language while Boa, or Boa constructor, is a humorous name of an IDE(Integrated Desktop Environment) that follows the snake theme of Python. Other famous examples of convergent evolution are sharks and dolphins, which are not related but have evolved similar body plans. Python and Boa are names of snakes, but in the computing world these names have absolutely nothing in common with snakes. 'If we see that different groups evolve the same things independently when they face the same challenges, we can find predictability in evolution.'

'The finding of such a strong case of convergent evolution demonstrates the power of natural selection and adaptation in living organisms,' said Mr Esquerre from the ANU Research School of Biology. Convergent evolution is where species adapt to the same conditions and evolve similar traits. Lead researcher Damien Esquerre said the study found pythons and boas were an important example of convergent evolution in reptiles. If I had to choose just 1, my choice for my first beginners snake would have to be a tie between Kenyan Sand Boa and the ChildrenвЂ™s Python. Aquatic pythons look like aquatic boas, burrowing pythons look like borrowing boas and tree-dwelling pythons look like tree-dwelling boas. Loved the Kenyan Sand Boa, Rosy Boa, ChildrenвЂ™s Python and Ball Python. This happened at least five times in different habitats. I see my BP out at night more than the Dumerils. The Dums are burrowing snakes and will spend alot of time hiding, at least mine does. In my opinion, the Dums have a nicer pattern and coloring, but the Hoggs will stay a little smaller. The Australian National University (ANU) study found that by living in the same habitat, pythons and boas evolved independently to look similar. It will depend on what you are looking for in a boa. Pythons and boas are two families that include the largest snakes in the world, like the reticulated python and the anaconda boa, which have been known to grow close to eight meters in length.
