How does a emberold tree boa catch its prey?

The emerald tree boa catches its prey primarily by using a sit-and-wait hunting strategy. It typically positions itself on branches in the rainforest canopy and remains still, camouflaged by its vibrant green coloration. When an unsuspecting prey, such as a bird or small mammal, comes within striking distance, the boa quickly constricts its body to capture and immobilize the animal before consuming it. This method allows the snake to effectively utilize its ambush hunting style in its arboreal habitat.
