The Pythonidae, commonly known simply as pythons, from the Greek word python, are a family of nonvenomous snakes found in Africa, Asia, and Australia. Among its members are some of the largest snakes in the world. Eight genera and 26 species are currently recognized.
Larger specimens usually eat animals about the size of a house cat, but larger food items are known; some large Asian species have been known to take down adult deer, and the African rock python, Python sebae, has been known to eat antelope. All prey is swallowed whole, and may take several days or even weeks to fully digest.

Contrary to popular belief, the porcupine does not shoot its quills. To ward off predators, it raises and rattles its quills, stamps its hind feet and makes a grunting sound. If the predator continues pursuit, the porcupine turns its back and defends itself by charging backward into its enemy.
The African crested porcupine is the largest rodent in southern Africa.The porcupine does not climb or jump very well, but it is an excellent swimmer.
The African crested porcupine may gnaw on the bones when feeding on carrion, which not only allows it to sharpen its incisors, but also provides a source of essential calcium.
