She decapitated him and swallowed like spaghetti: a falcon was documented as a suffocating snake predator
He is considered a relative of the formidable Anaconda snake, but the little spawning choke, the only one of the suffocating family living in the country, had no chance.
There is a side of it in it, and then it was prepared for swallowing in its entirety, when on the way he removed any obstacle that might get stuck in his little throat

Although we are dangerous he is considered a snake, and even a relative of the largest and longest anaconda in the world, but the spawning eel (Eryx jaculus) had no chance in front of a common falcon female who located him from afar and prepared for a meal.
Avner Rinot, a surveyor in the Urban Nature Unit of the Society for the Protection of Nature and a professional birder at the Jerusalem Bird Research Station named after Nili and David, went with his father on a short tour yesterday evening (Wednesday) in the fields near Kibbutz Ein Hanatziv in the Springs Valley. The young snake was eaten and quickly swallowed, with its head torn off first and then, the rest of its body swallowed as if it were spaghetti, "Rinot explains.

The choke: The "cousin" of the python
Rinot points out that suffocation is the only representative in the suffocation family that appears in Israel.
"It is characterized by a thick, muscular body with a very short tail, and through this structure it strangles its prey," he says.
"This is one of the smallest representatives in the family (up to 80 cm only), known in the largest species in the world such as the point and the reticulated python.
The choke is a slow and quiet snake, neither venomous nor dangerous to man.
It mainly
feeds on rodents, reptiles, arthropods and more in the open areas around the built-up area, including the nature of agricultural fields, "he said. "Natural areas that remain in the agricultural area) such as field edges that remain of a natural nature without human intervention, all benefit from the services of the natural system," adds Avner Rinot.
