Boa snake eating a guan bird - Serra da Capivara

Predation evento of a guan bird (Penelope sp.) by a boa snake (Boa constrictor).
This observation happened while I was doing my research fieldwork at Serra da Capivara National Park (Brazil), following capuchin monkeys. It is possible to hear the monkeys' vocalizations on the background. It took the snake about an hour to swallow the whole bird, and the monkeys were close and mobbing and threatening the snake frequently.

Que interessante, video muito bom! Não imaginaria que o Jacu (adulto) poderia ser cassado por uma jiboia.
