  • Antaresia is a genus of pythons, nonvenomous snakes in the family Pythonidae. The genus is native to Australasia. The genus is known by the common name Children's pythons, the name of the type species, Antaresia childreni. Gray named A. childreni in honour of his mentor, John George Children, who was a curator of the zoological collection at the British Museum around that time. It contains the smallest members of the Pythonidae. Four species and two subspecies are recognized, although they were all considered part of the same species until recently. A newly described form called the pygmy banded python may be a distinct species, but analysis has not yet been performed on this animal. The largest recorded examples of Antaresia species have all been males, suggesting males of the known species in this genus may compete for females. This behavior has never been witnessed in the wild, and has only been witnessed in captive specimens. (en)
  • Die Südpythons (Antaresia) oder Gefleckten Pythons sind eine Gattung aus der Familie der Pythons (Pythonidae). Sie beinhaltet vier Arten kleinerer Pythons. Das Verbreitungsgebiet umfasst überwiegend die nördlichen zwei Drittel Australiens. Sie kommen in sehr unterschiedlichen Biotopen vor; von offenen Graslandschaften über Wälder bis zu überwiegend felsigen Gebieten. Auch die Nähe von Siedlungen wird nicht gemieden. Die Südpythons ernähren sich von Mäusen, Ratten, Vögeln und Fledermäusen, aber auch von Skinken und Geckos. Südpythons sind dämmerungs- und nachtaktiv, sehr rege und geschickte Kletterer. Wie alle Pythons sind die Südpythons ungiftig und töten ihre Beute durch Umschlingen. (de)

  • Antaresia, även kända som dvärgpytons, är ett släkte av pytonormar som finns i Australien. De är de minsta av alla pytonormar och innehåller bland annat den allra minsta pytonormen, A. perthensis som endast växer till en längd av ungefär 60 centimeter. Några exemplar blir upp till 1,5 meter långa. Dessa ormar lever i halvöknar och torra skogar. De äter ödlor och små däggdjur. Honor lägger ägg. Antaresia perthensis gömmer sig ofta i termitstackar. Släktet utgörs av fyra arter (se listan i faktarutan till höger). (sv)
