The Monster Python

The expert team reveals the anatomy that allows pythons to sense, strike, squeeze, and swallow their prey. They investigate the remains of the snakes' last meals and make an amazing discovery in the female: ovaries bulging with 40 egg follicles ready to be fertilized.  Explore the science of slithering, how snakes have developed 'infrared goggles', which allow them to hunt warm-blooded prey in the dark, and how a flexible jaw allows pythons to stretch their mouths around huge prey.
