Abstract

– Predator-prey interactions in the wild are scarcely observed or photo documented. This kind of natural history information is vital to understanding trophic chains and the ecology of the species involved. We present relevant new information regarding the diet of the Mesoamerican Boa (Boa imperator) in the northern region of the Selva Lacandona in Chiapas, Mexico. We expect that this information will be beneficial for the understanding of trophic webs in this multicultural and biodiverse region from southern Mexico.
