How Burmese pythons regenerate their organs

[Still Waters]

Scientists have discovered how the organs of the massive Burmese python manage to dramatically increase after it feeds. They identified a few sets of genes that were influencing changes in the snake's internal organ structure.

Burmese pythons are among the largest snakes alive, in some cases reaching 4 metres in length. 

Burmese pythons can feed on birds and other reptiles, but have a preference for large mammals. In Florida, the species has even been known to eat cattle, alligators and adult deer.
