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.

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. |

Poco se conoce sobre la biología de Simophis rhinostoma (Schlegel, 1837). 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.
