Bogota finds boa constrictor in central park

by Adriaan Alsema March 5, 2018



Environmental authorities in Colombia’s capital Bogota have found a five-foot boa constrictor in a park in the center of the city of seven million, they said Sunday.

. . .

Because boa constrictors can have as many as 30 babies at once, environmental officials conducted a search to verify if the mother snake had left more offspring in the popular park.

The authorities said they believe that the snake was abandoned in the park by a resident or an illegal wildlife trader.

. . .

The mother and baby boa constrictors were taken to an animal care center for testing and is expected to be returned to nature.
