biomedicalephemera: Method of the mussurana’s attack upon the jararaca. Note the size difference between the two snakes. The mussurana is able to consume comparatively large snakes because its digestive system compresses the body of the other snake into a wave-like shape. Through the Brazilian Wilderness. Theodore Roosevelt, 1914.
