chapter 1 Pythons in action It’s night A giant python waits by an animal trail Prey should be coming by soon The python is ready Its heat sensors will tell the snake when warm bodies come near Some rats run by They’re too small for the hungry snake It waits for larger prey Something big is coming When it gets near the python sees it’s a big tasty antelope 4
Time to Feast Once the antelope is close enough the python strikes It bites and holds the antelope with its teeth It coils its powerful body around the prey The snake squeezes tightly After a few moments the antelope’s heart stops Now it’s time to eat The python opens its jaws wide and begins to swallow the antelope whole 7
