Franz Boas was a German-American anthropologist considered the father of modern anthropology. He was known for his focus on fieldwork and for challenging the prevailing notion of cultural evolution, instead emphasizing the importance of viewing each culture in its own context. Boas' work laid the foundation for the cultural relativism that is a key principle in anthropology today.
Within the exotic pet trade, it is also known as a "BCC", an abbreviation of its scientific name, to distinguish it from other boa constrictor subspecies such as B. c.imperator, which is also regularly, and erroneously, referred to as a "red-tailed boa" or "common boa".
The scientific name for viper snakes is Viperidae.
Reptile is the classification of a group of animals. You can think of reptile being the scientific name. Each animal in this category will have a scientific name.
The scientific name for the emerald tree boa is Corallus caninus.
Franz Boas was a prominent figure in the field of anthropology, known for his rejection of simplistic theories of racial determinism and his advocacy for cultural relativism. He emphasized the importance of fieldwork and detailed ethnographic studies to understand the diversity and complexity of human cultures. Boas's work laid the foundation for modern cultural anthropology by emphasizing the role of environment, history, and culture in shaping human societies.
The answer is: YES.
Many years back, I saw a photograph purportedly printed on a newspaper showing a boa constrictor split along its belly, and a full-grown man body was still lying along the snake body. According to the photo caption, this event occurred in Malaysia.
Diet of a Boa ConstrictorBoas in the wild eat smaller rodents, birds, lizards, and some eat smaller snakes.
Boas as pets eat rats live or frozen/thawed (ingesting frozen rats or mice are fatal to any reptile).
In captivity, there's a variety of food to offer them: chicken, quail, pig, rabbit, Guinea pig, rats, and mice. Mice are reserved for babies and juveniles due to their small size, and Guinea pigs are only suitable as an occasional treat as they are very fatty. Pigs are only for the largest of boas (10'+), and probably are also not good as a staple, due to their fat. Rabbits and rats are the most popular choices.
That's like asking why other snakes lay eggs, or why mammals give live birth. Or why we must consume our food rather than absorb nutrients from the soil. Rattlesnakes and garter snakes give live birth too....
its to do with snakes,,, if the patern red touch yellow they are usually poisones,, if red touches black , they are usually non poison,,,
I just got bit by one on the finger this morning. It left two tiny holes that bled. Two holes on the top and two almost holes on the bottom of my finger. The teeth marks were close together. Not the normal scratched multi-hole appearance that you get from a regular boa bite.
A boa constrictor shouldn't bite its own tail, some snakes such as king snakes are very aggressive with food and eat other snakes might take a chomp at their tail but unless a rare case it wont be a boa.
it is sort of a brown/tan color and in the middle of the spider you will see some sort of a violin and if you do see one be extremely cautious! Don' get bit!!
A boa constrictor can have many different markings. Their colors vary depending on the area they live in, allowing them to blend in. The snake usually has a light background color with a pattern of diamond, circle, or saddle-like shapes in a darker color.
I one and it is brown but it has darker spots on it that's how most are unless they are albino. Some of the tree boa's are green but they don't sell those at most places.
No, Tapirs are herbivores, Jaguars and Anaconda are the tapirs predators.
between 100000-100000000000000 thousand roughly
they literally squeeze the life out the victim by wrapping themselves around their prey and squeezing until respiration/breathing is impossible
