Photo of python skeleton

We travel to Chicago for a couple of days and visited the Field Museum of Natural History. They had an amazing and huge collection of stuffed animals specimens and skeletons. Seeing this skeleton of a giant python, I can now understand how they move, and how they use their ribs kind of like feet within their skin. Was neat to see up close!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...befd36f774.jpg

That's great description, that snakes basically are walking on their ribs...:D Their scutes would be their "track shoes". ;)
Thanks for posting these great pics!

very kool! i bet it was so much work and detail to clean and put all those ribs and vertebrae back together.

Thanks for sharing, cool as all get out. I love Field Museum, sweet home Chicago! Born and bred.

Great idea to upload those photos !!
