FOTO-VIDEO/ Meduza: Është gjarpri më i gjatë në botë

Gjarpri më i gjatë në botë është Medusa, një piton retikuluar (python reticulatus), në pronësi të Full Moon Productions Inc. në Kansas City, Misuri, SHBA.

Kur ishte matur më 12 tetor 2011, ajo u gjet që të jetë 7,67 m (25 ft 2 in) e gjatë. Medusa gjithashtu mban titullin e tanishëm "Gjarprin më të gjatë që është ende gjallë”.

Pitonët e retikuluar të quajtur si të tillë për shkak të modelit të lëkurës të ngjashëm me rrjetën janë mesatarisht gjarpërinjtë më të gjatë në botë, por të rriturit normalisht rriten mesatarisht midis 3-6 m (ose, 10-20 ft).

Gjarprit 10-vjeçar iu deshën 15 persona që të mbanin gjithë trupin e tij në duar/ F.H, SYRI.net

The longest snake - ever - in captivity is Medusa, a reticulated python (python reticulatus), owned by Full Moon Productions Inc. in Kansas City, Missouri, USA. When measured on 12 October 2011, she was found to be 7.67 m (25 ft 2 in) long. Medusa also holds the current 'Longest Snake - Living (captivity)' title. ???? ? Reticulated pythons – named as such because of the grid-like pattern of its skin – are on average the world’s longest snakes, but adults normally grow an average of between 3-6 m (or, 10-20 ft).? ? But there is nothing normal about Medusa.? ? The 10-year-old snake required 15 people to hold her at full length in order for her record measurement to be taken, and her diet consists of a combination of rabbits, hogs, and deer served biweekly. She’s been known to eat a whole, 18-kg (40-lb) deer in one sitting. Medusa herself weighs 158.8 kg (350 lbs).? ? Reticulated pythons primarily populate southeast Asia, Indonesia, and the Philippines and are also known as great swimmers. In 1912, a specimen shot in Sulawesi measured a jaw-dropping 10 m (32 ft 10 in). However, unlike Medusa, the unnamed animal was never kept alive in captivity.? ? Medusa is currently housed at “The Edge of Hell Haunted House” in Kansas City. Her handlers say she can actually tell when it’s “showtime” for patrons, as she will go into what they call performance mode. During this time, Medusa will stay completely still for those passing by to get a full glimpse of her in her record-stretching glory. She is known to purr like a cat when she’s happy and hiss when she’s angry. __________________________________________________________ #snake #python #reticulatedpython #guinnessworldrecords #officiallyamazing #kansascity #animals
