Pythons

Another regular inhabitant of the rainforests is the python.

What you see here is an amethyst python in doing his siesta on the banks of a lake (incidentally it's the same one where the turtles were swimming ;) ).

The second picture is a zoom on it, you can see the head of the snake if your eyes are good enought ;) it's right in the middle of the picture, under the yellow leaf that is pointing to the ground.

The third picture shows another amethyst python, this time sleeping in a tree overlooking the Daintree river, yep, the one with the crocodiles ... what a nice place to be, hein??

And the last one, i'm sad to say, it's not one of my pictures but one that i took from this ABC TV site. It shows how strong these snakes can get - this olive python saw a dead kangaroo in the water and tried to pick it up. The picture was taken in the Kimberly national park in Western Australia.

Just impressive!!!
