BOA CONSTRICTOR

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Boa constrictor
HABITAT: A wide range of habitats from semi-desert regions in Mexico to moist rain forests of Central and South America.
CONSERVATION STATUS: Least Concern
FUN FACT:
The boa constrictor is ovoviviparous, giving birth to live young. Although no true placental connection between mother and young exists (as in mammals) there is a mechanism to allow exchange of oxygen and other necessary elements.
