They are capable of swallowing huge prey. Not only hunting antelopes, deer or baby crocodiles, they have even been recorded swallowing leopards. Photo: focusedcollection.com.

Their backward-curved teeth help them hold their prey. Hundreds of small, sharp, backward-curved teeth in their mouths help prevent their prey from escaping before squeezing tightly with their muscles. Photo: joelsartore.com.

They are not venomous but extremely dangerous. The force of a rock python's constriction can break ribs and suffocate large prey in just a few minutes. Photo: biolib.cz.

They are masters of camouflage in the wild. Their mottled brown, gray, and olive green skin patterns help them almost disappear into tall grass and bushes. Photo: wikimedia.org.

Female rock pythons guard their clutch of eggs. Unlike many other snakes, the female will coil around the nest, protecting and keeping the eggs warm until they hatch. Photo: wikimedia.org.

They have surprisingly long lifespans. In the wild, rock pythons can live up to 20 years, and in captivity they can live for over 30 years. Photo: africansnakebiteinstitute.com.

Domesticated by indigenous people for pest control, rock pythons are kept around some African villages to keep rats and rodents from destroying crops. Photo: africansnakebiteinstitute.com.
