Topic Reading-Vol.726-4/7/2014

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Python's homing trick stuns scientists
Pythons, native to South and Southeast Asia, are among the largest snakes. They eat, maybe better to say swallow, anything that has lived until it is killed by them, from a bird to deer, even a crocodile as shown in Vol.795.

Researchers found that they are not only a big eater but also somewhat intelligent to be able to find the way to their home even they are taken and released dozens of kilometers away. And surprisingly, they seem to be very much motivated to go home by taking as long as 100 to 300 days.
How do they do that? What sort of navigational features do they have?
Enjoy reading and learning about the mystery of the world largest and longest snake.
