Resumo: In this research, we report the predation of Boana raniceps (Cope, 1862) by Leptophis ahaetulla (Linnaeus, 1758) in the rural area of Candeias do Jamari municipality, Rondônia state, southwestern Brazilian Amazon. Leptophis ahaetulla is a diurnal arboreal snake that can be found in a variety of environments such as dryland forests, flooded forests, and plantations. Its diet consists mainly of anurans and may include lizards. Boana raniceps belongs to the B. albopuncatata group.  There are few well-described reports on the predatory behavior of anurans by L. ahaetulla, as studies are generally based on stomach contents and not on photographic records. There are also few reports on the defensive behaviors of B. raniceps. In this research, predation of Boana raniceps was by Leptophis ahaetulla lasted about 15 minutes until complete ingestion and occurred at 2:00 PM on July 05, 2020. During predation, B. raniceps performed the defensive behavior, making distress calls. Recording this predation is essential to improve knowledge about the natural history of the species described here.Keywords: Predation; amphibian; behavior; diet; snakes.

Leptophis ahaetulla é uma cobra arbórea diurna que pode ser encontrada em diversos ambientes, como florestas de terra firme, florestas inundadas e plantações. Sua dieta consiste principalmente de anuros e pode incluir lagartos. A Boana raniceps pertence ao grupo B. albopuncatata.  Há poucos relatos bem descritos sobre o comportamento predatório dos anuros por L. ahaetulla, já que os estudos são geralmente baseados no conteúdo estomacal e não em registros fotográficos. Há também poucos relatos sobre os comportamentos defensivos de B. raniceps. Nesta pesquisa, a predação de B. raniceps por L. ahaetulla durou cerca de 15 minutos até a ingestão completa e ocorreu às 14h00 do dia 05 de julho de 2020. Durante a predação, B. raniceps executou o comportamento defensivo, fazendo chamadas de socorro. O registro desta predação é essencial para melhorar o conhecimento sobre a história natural das espécies aqui descritas.Palavras-chave: Predação, anfíbio, comportamento, dieta, serpentes.Universidade Federal do AmapáCoordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPESOliveira, Marcela AlvaresBarbosa, Raul Afonso PommerLima, Alexandre Henrique de Sousa2021-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unifap.br/index.php/biota/article/view/674810.18561/2179-5746/biotaamazonia.v11n3p37-39Biota Amazônia (Biote Amazonie, Biota Amazonia, Amazonian Biota); v. 11, n. 3 (2021); 37-392179-5746reponame:Biota Amazôniainstname:Universidade Federal do Amapá (UNIFAP)instacron:UNIFAPenghttps://periodicos.unifap.br/index.php/biota/article/view/6748/v11n3p37-39.pdfAmazoniaDireitos autorais 2021 Biota Amazônia (Biote Amazonie, Biota Amazonia, Amazonian Biota)http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-12-31T20:25:25Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/6748Revistahttp://periodicos.unifap.br/index.php/biotaONGhttps://periodicos.unifap.br/index.php/biota/oai||juliosa@unifap.br2179-57462179-5746opendoar:2021-12-31T20:25:25Biota Amazônia - Universidade Federal do Amapá (UNIFAP)false
