Mussurana Snake attacks and eats Bothrops Viper
Mussurana Snake vs Bothrops Viper
The Mussurana is a snake that hunts other snakes for food. It stalks its prey in a very tricky way, by laying in wait beside water or rivers and ambushing any other snake that comes to drink. In the video below, you can see a Mussurana snake kill and eat a highly venomous Bothrops Viper. Its not often you get to watch out in the wild when a smaller animal kills a much larger animal in a single strike.
A video circulating on social media, shows a large non-venomous snake known as the Mussurana, eating a venomous snake called the Bothrops viper. The incident took place in front of some students, at the Universidade Federal do Amazonas in Santarem, Brazil.
A Mussurana or Green Tree Python (Morelia clastolepis) snake living in the Amazon Rainforest has been observed killing and eating a venomous snake.
The mussuranas are in the superfamily Colubroidea , in which there are roughly 3,500 species of nonvenomous snakes. Some species in North America kill garter snakes for their skin, then rig them out to look like alive snakes. So it's not so strange for a mussurana to have an appetite for another poisonous snake.
A bloody battle ensues between two venomous snakes that ends with the mussurana consuming the viper.
The mussurana, sometimes called the South American red-and-black snake or just red snake, is a non-venomous snake belonging to the family Colubridae.
These two snakes were inadvertently placed in the same container by their owner. That is a potentially volatile mix, and they eventually fought it out. This fight ended up being a prime example of natural selection in action. The loser was, of course, the loser. But the winner is also important to notice. Her venom is a cocktail of toxins, and one is a protein called fasciculins. It specifically targets vertebrate muscle tissue. It allows her to kill without risking damage to herself from bites from the prey's teeth."
