Posted by: Terry Cox at Mon Sep 13 16:57:28 2004 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Terry Cox ] Chris, we're gettin in pretty deep here now. I think the green color in the python/boa is parallel evolution, because the snakes probably evolved the coloration in the tropical rainforest habitat. The snakes are in different subfamilies, but I think both boa and python are predisposed to certain behaviors, like the arboreal condition. Really cool snakes too. Some of the other character traits may be examples of convergent evolution. I need to think more on this, but have to go back to work now. It's a long night here at school. | ||
