Hard Mating Aggregation as Evidence of Polyandry in the Red-Tailed Boa, <i>Boa constrictor</i> (Squamata: Boidae), in a Brazilian Caatinga Population. [PDF]

Zmije udavke - Boidae, Pythonidae

Zmije udavke pripadaju gmazovima (Reptilia) koji su se razvili krajem paleozoika, a svoj vrhunac dostigli u razdoblju mezozoika. Gmazovi su prve životinje koje su se uspješno prilagodile životu na kopnu. Zmije (Serpentes) obuhvaćaju 2500 vrsta raspoređenih u 17 porodica.
