摘要
有些爬行动物可以吃掉自己或同种动物的蜕皮;尽管它很流行，但人们对吃去皮的好处知之甚少。在此，我们报告了在墨西哥纳亚里特Bahía de Banderas，一只瓦拉塔泥龟(Kinosternon vogti)吞食Masticophis lineatus (Bocourt, 1890)蛇皮的野外观察。这种类型的记录可以让我们了解爬行动物物种之间和内部的噬角行为。
Snake shed skin consumed by Kinosternon vogti: a case of interspecific keratophagy
Some reptile species can consume their own shed skin or that of conspecifics; despite its prevalence, the benefits of eating shed skin remain poorly understood. Here, we report a field observation in which a Vallarta Mud Turtle ( Kinosternon vogti ) consumed a snake shed skin of Masticophis lineatus (Bocourt, 1890) in Bahía de Banderas, Nayarit, Mexico. This type of record could allow us to understand the keratophagous behaviour between and within reptile species.
