This video segment from Between the Lions is a live action, non-fiction piece about what life would be like "if you were a boa constrictor." For boas, life starts with 60 brothers and sisters. After a month, boas go out on their own and swim in rainforest rivers and climb through trees. During the night, they eat animals. They have silky smooth skin and shed it when it gets too snug. After 30 years, boas are super snakes-- 20 feet long. This video places a strong but not explicit emphasis on the "s" sound. This video segment provides a resource for Text Comprehension and Phonological Awareness.
