Why are people scared of aye-ayes: Few people who know of them are ambivalent about aye-ayes. In their native Madagascar, many people fear them as bringers of evil and misfortune, persecute them as crop raiders or revere them as emblems of fertility and good luck. Outside Madagascar, the animals' bizarre appearance equally enthrals or repels.

Are Burmese pythons good pets: Burmese pythons can, indeed, make great pets for the few people with the ability and facility to care for a snake that can attain a length of 15 to 20 feet. The stocky little 2-foot hatchlings are the perfect size to appeal to pet reptile keepers.

What is the largest snake in the world: The reticulated python (Malayopython reticulatus) is the longest snake in the world, regularly reaching over 6.25 metres in length.
