Monty Python, being a comedy troupe, consists of humans, which are a type of animal ;)

Fun fact: Python is not named after an animal! It’s named after the comedy group Monty Python’s Flying Circus.

Python isn’t named after an animal it’s named after a comedy troupe, which is a group of animals

Until recently, thought it was also named after Pythagoras, with the snake being a double meaning.
