Simophis rhinostoma (squamata: colubridae): feeding habits and defensive behavior

The biology of Simophis rhinostoma (Schlegel, 1837) is poorly known. There are no enough information about its diet, just about feeding on anurans and, in captivity, there are records of lizards ingestion. We present the first record of fish ingestion by S. rhinostoma, a colubrid inhabiting the Atla...

description The biology of Simophis rhinostoma (Schlegel, 1837) is poorly known. There are no enough information about its diet, just about feeding on anurans and, in captivity, there are records of lizards ingestion. We present the first record of fish ingestion by S. rhinostoma, a colubrid inhabiting the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado areas, also some behavior aspects during feeding.

No existe información substancial al respecto de su dieta, apenas que se alimenta de anuros y, en cautiverio, hay registros de la ingestión de lagartos. Presentamos el primer relato de la ingestión de peces por S. rhinostoma, un colúbrido que habita los dominios de la Mata Atlántica y Cerrado, así como algunos aspectos de su comportamiento exhibido durante la alimentación.  Instituto de Ecología, A.C. 2021-10-05 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/html https://azm.ojs.inecol.mx/index.php/azm/article/view/1022 10.21829/azm.2017.3311022 ACTA ZOOLÓGICA MEXICANA (N.S.); Vol. 33 No. 1 (2017); 123-125 ACTA ZOOLÓGICA MEXICANA (N.S.); Vol. 33 Núm. 1 (2017); 123-125 2448-8445 0065-1737 eng spa https://azm.ojs.inecol.mx/index.php/azm/article/view/1022/1217 https://azm.ojs.inecol.mx/index.php/azm/article/view/1022/1205 Derechos de autor 2017 ACTA ZOOLÓGICA MEXICANA (N.S.) http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0
